Lyrics and translation Elvis Costello and The Brodsky Quartet - Swine
Youre
a
swine
and
Im
saying
thats
an
insult
to
the
pig
Tu
es
un
cochon
et
je
dis
que
c'est
une
insulte
au
porc
In
the
foul
furrow
that
you
dig
Dans
le
sillon
répugnant
que
tu
creuses
Why
dont
you
lay
your
head
down
Pourquoi
ne
poses-tu
pas
ta
tête
In
that
unconsecrated
ground
Sur
ce
terrain
non
consacré
WAS
she
your
MOTHER?
Était-elle
ta
MÈRE
?
Or
W
AS
she
your
brlde
Ou
Était-elle
ta
fiancée
T
o
defile
and
to
blister
Pour
la
souiller
et
la
brûler
T
o
gnaw
at
her
side
Pour
ronger
à
ses
côtés
Is
this
the
end
of
the
world?
Est-ce
la
fin
du
monde
?
Now
that
youve
finished
your
life
Maintenant
que
tu
as
terminé
ta
vie
This
RIDDLE
is
the
work
of
my
little
pen-knife
Cette
ENIGME
est
l'œuvre
de
mon
petit
couteau
