Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Without Reason or Rhyme (The Killing of Harry Stanley)




Without Reason or Rhyme (The Killing of Harry Stanley)
Sans raison ni rime (La mort de Harry Stanley)
I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain
Je souhaite, je souhaite, mais c'est en vain
It is a great thing that we have an unarmed police force in this country. It is perhaps an even greater thing that a force that is unarmed is able to shoot so many people.
C'est une grande chose que nous ayons une force de police non armée dans ce pays. C'est peut-être encore plus grand qu'une force non armée puisse tirer sur autant de personnes.
On hands and knees
À genoux
Floors like these
Des sols comme ceux-ci
Washing away
Effacer
Red from grey
Le rouge du gris
Hearts will ache
Les cœurs se briseront
Shotgun-shaped
En forme de fusil à pompe
No remorse
Aucun remords
Of course, of course
Bien sûr, bien sûr
Of course there's an explanation
Bien sûr qu'il y a une explication
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
Pourquoi tu chantes sans raison ni rime
Why you sing
Pourquoi tu chantes
Without reason or rhyme
Sans raison ni rime
Everyone
Tout le monde
Must be wrong
Doit se tromper
This explains
Cela explique
Where he lays
Où il repose
Hearts can kill
Les cœurs peuvent tuer
And they will
Et ils le feront

Of course, of course
Bien sûr, bien sûr
Of course there's an explanation
Bien sûr qu'il y a une explication
Why you sing without reason or rhyme
Pourquoi tu chantes sans raison ni rime
Why you sing
Pourquoi tu chantes
Without reason or rhyme
Sans raison ni rime

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.
