Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Words Can Save Us




Words Can Save Us
Les mots peuvent nous sauver
April morning summer come soon
Matin d'avril, l'été arrive bientôt
Clouds follow after
Les nuages suivent
Morning sun is hidden by noon
Le soleil du matin est caché à midi
Day shrouded over
La journée est voilée
Tears to face the morning news
Des larmes pour affronter les nouvelles du matin
We watch our future burn
Nous regardons notre avenir brûler
And wonder if we'll ever learn
Et nous nous demandons si nous apprendrons jamais
That words can save us
Que les mots peuvent nous sauver
War in Broken Promise Land
Guerre en Terre de Promesse Brisée
Fame fear and gunfire
Célébrité, peur et coups de feu
Cowboy culture blood on its hands
Culture du cow-boy, le sang sur ses mains
Flag fuel and empire
Drapeau, carburant et empire
Bit parts for shooting stars
Petits rôles pour les étoiles filantes
Above the dying trees
Au-dessus des arbres mourants
No-one looking up to see
Personne ne lève les yeux pour voir
How words can save us
Comment les mots peuvent nous sauver
Number one Favourite son
Numéro un, Fils préféré
One more outsider
Un autre marginal
Army drops its cluster bombs
L'armée largue ses bombes à fragmentation
Boy sees his future
Le garçon voit son avenir
World are you listening now?
Monde, est-ce que tu écoutes maintenant ?
This fool just had his day
Ce fou vient de passer sa journée
Who'll be brave enough to say
Qui sera assez courageux pour dire
That words can save us?
Que les mots peuvent nous sauver ?

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.
