Lyrics and translation Len Cariou - The Barber And His Wife
There's
a
hole
in
the
world
like
a
great
black
pit
Il
y
a
un
trou
dans
le
monde,
comme
une
grande
fosse
noire
And
the
vermin
of
the
world
inhabit
it
Et
les
vermines
du
monde
l'habitent
And
it's
morals
aren't
worth
what
a
pig
could
spit
Et
sa
morale
ne
vaut
pas
ce
qu'un
cochon
pourrait
cracher
And
it
goes
by
the
name
of
London...
Et
il
s'appelle
Londres...
There
was
a
barber
and
his
wife,
Il
y
avait
un
barbier
et
sa
femme,
And
she
was
beautiful.
Et
elle
était
belle.
A
foolish
barber
and
his
wife.
Un
barbier
stupide
et
sa
femme.
She
was
his
reason
and
his
life,
Elle
était
sa
raison
et
sa
vie,
And
she
was
beautiful,
Et
elle
était
belle,
And
she
was
virtuous,
Et
elle
était
vertueuse,
And
he
was...
naive.
Et
il
était...
naïf.
There
was
another
man
who
saw
Il
y
avait
un
autre
homme
qui
a
vu
That
she
was
beautiful.
Qu'elle
était
belle.
A
pious
vulture
of
the
law,
Un
vautour
pieux
de
la
loi,
Who,
with
a
gesture
of
his
claw,
Qui,
avec
un
geste
de
sa
griffe,
Removed
the
barber
from
his
plate,
A
retiré
le
barbier
de
son
assiette,
Then
there
was
nothing
but
to
wait,
Alors
il
n'y
avait
plus
qu'à
attendre,
And
she
would
fall,
Et
elle
tomberait,
So
soft,
Si
douce,
So
young,
Si
jeune,
So
lost
Si
perdue
And
oh
so
beautiful!
Et
oh
si
belle !
ANTHONY:
And
the
lady,
sir,
did
she
succumb?
ANTHONY :
Et
la
dame,
monsieur,
a-t-elle
succombé ?
Oh,
that
was
many
years
ago...
Oh,
c'était
il
y
a
de
nombreuses
années...
I
doubt
if
anyone
would
know...
Je
doute
que
quiconque
sache...
There's
a
hole
in
the
world
like
a
great
black
pit
Il
y
a
un
trou
dans
le
monde,
comme
une
grande
fosse
noire
And
it's
filled
with
people
who
are
filled
with
shit
Et
il
est
rempli
de
gens
qui
sont
remplis
de
merde
And
the
vermin
of
the
world
inhabit
it...
Et
les
vermines
du
monde
l'habitent...
