Lyrics and translation Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet - Swine
You′re
a
swine
Tu
es
un
cochon
And
I'm
saying
that′s
an
insult
to
the
pig
Et
je
dis
que
c'est
une
insulte
au
porc
In
the
foul
furrow
that
you
dig
Dans
le
sillon
immonde
que
tu
creuses
Why
don't
you
lay
your
head
down
Pourquoi
ne
poses-tu
pas
ta
tête
In
that
unconsecrated
ground?
Sur
ce
terrain
non
consacré
?
Well,
was
she
your
mother
Eh
bien,
était-ce
ta
mère
Or
was
she
your
bride?
Ou
était-ce
ta
femme
?
To
defile
and
to
blister
La
souiller
et
la
brûler
To
gnaw
at
her
side
Rongea
sa
chair
Is
this
the
end
of
the
world?
Est-ce
la
fin
du
monde
?
Now
that
you've
finished
your
life
Maintenant
que
tu
as
terminé
ta
vie
This
riddle
is
the
work
of
my
little
pen-knife
Cette
énigme
est
l'œuvre
de
mon
petit
couteau
à
papier
