Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Wagner At The Opera




Wagner At The Opera
Wagner à l'opéra
I'm laying on the pavement
Je suis allongé sur le trottoir
And the last thing I recall
Et la dernière chose dont je me souviens
Picked up by the arms and legs
Soulevé par les bras et les jambes
And taken from the hall
Et emmené hors du hall
For squaring up to culture
Pour avoir affronté la culture
In the circle and the stall
Dans le cercle et le stand
All because they're playing Wagner at the opera
Tout simplement parce qu'ils jouent Wagner à l'opéra
All because they're playing Wagner at the opera
Tout simplement parce qu'ils jouent Wagner à l'opéra
Hurt can make you act without
La douleur peut vous faire agir sans
Apology or regret
Excuses ou regrets
Over half a century
Plus d'un demi-siècle
But still I can't forget
Mais je n'arrive toujours pas à oublier
Ideology makes a mockery
L'idéologie se moque
Of the string quartet
Du quatuor à cordes
All because they're playing Wagner at the opera
Tout simplement parce qu'ils jouent Wagner à l'opéra
All because they're playing Wagner at the opera
Tout simplement parce qu'ils jouent Wagner à l'opéra
When they came to take me
Quand ils sont venus me chercher
I was standing on a chair
J'étais debout sur une chaise
I can't keep quiet
Je ne peux pas me taire
I have something to declare
J'ai quelque chose à déclarer
Listen to my rattle
Écoutez mon hochet
For my rattle says "Beware"
Car mon hochet dit "Attention"
All because they're playing Wagner at the opera
Tout simplement parce qu'ils jouent Wagner à l'opéra
All because they're playing Wagner at the opera
Tout simplement parce qu'ils jouent Wagner à l'opéra
A rattle for remembering
Un hochet pour se souvenir
The rattle of the chains
Le hochet des chaînes
A rattle for remembering
Un hochet pour se souvenir
The rattle of the trains
Le hochet des trains
From Warsaw down the decades
De Varsovie à travers les décennies
To hell and home again
Vers l'enfer et le retour à la maison
All because they're playing Wagner at the opera
Tout simplement parce qu'ils jouent Wagner à l'opéra
All because they're playing Wagner at the opera
Tout simplement parce qu'ils jouent Wagner à l'opéra
For everyone we lost
Pour tous ceux que nous avons perdus
I swing the rattle loud and long
Je fais vibrer le hochet fort et longtemps
I swing it 'til I drown out
Je le fais vibrer jusqu'à ce que je noie
All the music and the songs
Toute la musique et les chansons
This tattoo will last forever
Ce tatouage durera éternellement
And my memory is long
Et ma mémoire est longue
Here's to no more playing Wagner at the opera
Voici pour ne plus jouer Wagner à l'opéra
Here's to no more playing Wagner at the opera
Voici pour ne plus jouer Wagner à l'opéra
Here's to no more playing Wagner at the opera
Voici pour ne plus jouer Wagner à l'opéra

Исполнитель Chumbawamba, альбом The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. 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. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. 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. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
