Lyrics and translation Loyle Carner - Swear

Swear

(Laughs) Were you gonna swear just then?
[M] No!
Were you gonna swear?
[M] No! You're mean telling everyone it's 'cause I swear at you. That's wicked!
You did start it though
[M] No I didn't! Who started it? You, you shmoo!
The only reason I swear is because you raised me and you swear
[M] I did not!
You do swear
[M] I used to not swear for ages and then eventually you said to me, "Mum it's okay to swear you know." That's so true I never used to swear around you, mind ya boots

Jurer

(Rires) Allait-tu jurer à ce moment-là ?
[F] Non !
Allait-tu jurer ?
[F] Non ! T’es méchant de dire à tout le monde que c’est parce que je jure devant toi. C’est horrible !
Mais tu as commencé, quand même.
[F] Non, je n’ai pas commencé ! Qui a commencé ? Toi, toi, petit voyou !
La seule raison pour laquelle je jure, c’est parce que tu m’as élevée et que tu jures.
[F] Je ne jure pas !
Si, tu jures.
[F] Avant, je ne jurais plus depuis des années et puis un jour, tu m’as dit : « Maman, c’est bon de jurer, tu sais. » C’est tellement vrai, avant, je ne jurais jamais devant toi, c’est vrai.
