Lyrics and translation Culture - English Fireplace

English Fireplace

Could? catch-up? inveigh? in vain? and from myself known
It was passing autumn, winter was about to come
So we draw near the fireside and try not to take it warm
Restore hands on our kettles and start making coffee and tea
Let sing the chorus to you God
Sitting in the grass there, staring English fireplace
Waiting for the next flower sunshine to come
Oh Lord I thank you!
Sitting in the grass there staring English fireplace
Waiting for the real Jamaican sunshine to come
In the north of England!
It was Jimmy and Johnny and Tony and Sarah you see
Amanda and Jimmy and Johnny and Indira you see
We all live together as one big family
And I repeat
We all live together as one big family

Naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw naw

Jimmy and Johnny and Tony and Sarah you see
Amanda and Johnny and Eva
We all live together as one big family

Cheminée anglaise

Pourrais-je rattraper mon retard ? M'indigner ? En vain ? Et être connu de moi-même ?
L'automne passait, l'hiver allait arriver
Alors nous nous rapprochons du foyer et essayons de ne pas nous réchauffer
Remettons nos mains sur nos bouilloires et commençons à faire du café et du thé
Laissez chanter le chœur pour vous, mon Dieu
Assis dans l'herbe là, regardant la cheminée anglaise
Attendant que le prochain rayon de soleil fleurisse
Oh Seigneur, je te remercie!
Assis dans l'herbe là, regardant la cheminée anglaise
Attendant que le vrai soleil jamaïcain arrive
Dans le nord de l'Angleterre!
C'était Jimmy et Johnny et Tony et Sarah, tu vois
Amanda et Jimmy et Johnny et Indira, tu vois
Nous vivons tous ensemble comme une grande famille
Et je répète
Nous vivons tous ensemble comme une grande famille

Naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw
Naw naw naw naw naw naw naw

Jimmy et Johnny et Tony et Sarah, tu vois
Amanda et Johnny et Eva
Nous vivons tous ensemble comme une grande famille
