Ian Anderson - Banker Bets, Banker Wins

Lyrics and translation Ian Anderson - Banker Bets, Banker Wins




Banker Bets, Banker Wins
Les paris du banquier, le banquier gagne
Education, micro-managed.
Éducation, micro-gérée.
MBA: a doddle mastered.
MBA : un jeu d'enfant maîtrisé.
City-bound, Canary Wharf.
Direction la ville, Canary Wharf.
A cushy number, fluky bastard.
Un poste confortable, un sale gosse chanceux.
Banker bets and banker wins, never missed yet, for all his sins.
Le banquier parie et le banquier gagne, jamais raté, malgré tous ses péchés.
Hedge funds, wraps and equities.
Fonds spéculatifs, enveloppes et actions.
Lackeys, aides in fierce attendance.
Lacais, aides en présence féroce.
Trusts and gilts, reserve currencies.
Fiducies et obligations, monnaies de réserve.
Liquid gold in safe ascendance.
Or liquide en ascension sécurisée.
Banker bets and banker wins, never missed yet, for all his sins.
Le banquier parie et le banquier gagne, jamais raté, malgré tous ses péchés.
Treat myself to quality time,
Je me fais plaisir avec du temps de qualité,
Test a porsche and snort a line,
Je teste une Porsche et je tire une ligne,
Eat Hermione for lunch.
Je mange Hermione pour le déjeuner.
Set that glum PA a-jumping,
Je fais sauter cette secrétaire morose,
Book front-row tickets for something after we munch.
Je réserve des billets en première rangée pour quelque chose après le déjeuner.
Fast-tracked futures, hard-nut traders.
Avenirs accélérés, traders coriaces.
Feeding frenzy, pigs a-troughing.
Frénésie alimentaire, les cochons à l'auge.
Fuelled by forecasts, and hot share options.
Alimentés par les prévisions et les options d'actions chaudes.
Big fat bonus in the offing.
Un gros bonus gras en préparation.
Draconian calls for regulation
Des appels draconiens à la réglementation
Are drowned in latte with Starbucks muffin.
Sont noyés dans un latte avec un muffin Starbucks.
Mortgage melt-down: non est mea culpa.
Effondrement des hypothèques : non est mea culpa.
Threatened exit, stage left, laughing...
Sortie menacée, à gauche, en riant...
Banker bets and banker wins, never missed yet, for all his sins.
Le banquier parie et le banquier gagne, jamais raté, malgré tous ses péchés.
Banker bets, cheque's in the post: not worth the ink it's written in.
Le banquier parie, le chèque est en route : ça ne vaut pas l'encre dont il est écrit.
