Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - The Untraditional




The Untraditional
L'inhabituel
I meet my love under the stars
Je rencontre mon amour sous les étoiles
So far from watching eyes
Si loin des regards indiscrets
Five long years we've met this way
Cinq longues années que nous nous rencontrons ainsi
My love, the night and I
Mon amour, la nuit et moi
So much in love we walked 'til dawn
Tant amoureux que nous avons marché jusqu'à l'aube
Far away from city walls
Loin des murs de la ville
In forest shelter-covered field
Dans un champ abrité par la forêt
A flower blooms as darkness falls
Une fleur s'épanouit à la tombée de la nuit
This love so bold goes undeclared
Cet amour si audacieux reste non déclaré
A joy unseen, a world unknown
Une joie invisible, un monde inconnu
A love that dare not speak its name
Un amour qui n'ose pas dire son nom
Hidden treasure, precious stone
Trésor caché, pierre précieuse
My lover's hand is wrapped in mine
La main de mon amant est dans la mienne
Hidden always from the day
Toujours caché du jour
Across this meeting draws a veil
Un voile se dessine sur cette rencontre
The age of reason turns away
L'âge de la raison se détourne
For we two men go on and on
Car nous, deux hommes, continuons et continuons
And my love walks next to me
Et mon amour marche à côté de moi
And in some far off place I know
Et dans un lieu lointain, je sais
That I'll love may shameless be
Que l'amour que je peux avoir sera sans vergogne

You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own.

The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own.
