Garbage - Pete Seegertranslation in French




Garbage
Garbage
Mister Thompson calls the waiter, orders steak and baked potato
Monsieur Thompson appelle le serveur, commande un steak et une pomme de terre au four
(Then) he leaves the bone and gristle and he never eats the skin
(Puis) il laisse l'os et le gras et il ne mange jamais la peau
The busboy comes and takes it, with a cough contaminates it
Le garçon vient et le prend, avec une toux il le contamine
(And he) puts it in a can with coffee grounds and sardine tins
(Et il) le met dans une boîte avec du marc de café et des boîtes de sardines
And the truck comes by on Friday and carts it all away
Et le camion passe le vendredi et le transporte
A thousand trucks just like it are converging on the Bay
Mille camions comme celui-là convergent vers la baie
Oh, Garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage
Oh, Garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage
We're filling up the seas with garbage
On remplit les mers de garbage
What will we do when there's no place left
Que ferons-nous quand il n'y aura plus d'espace
To put all the garbage
Pour mettre tous les déchets
Mr. Thompson starts his Cadillac and winds it down the freeway track
Monsieur Thompson démarre sa Cadillac et file sur l'autoroute
Leaving friends and neighbors in a hydrocarbon haze
Laissant derrière lui ses amis et ses voisins dans une brume d'hydrocarbures
He's joined by lots of smaller cars all sending gases to the stars
Il est rejoint par de nombreuses voitures plus petites qui envoient toutes des gaz vers les étoiles
There to form a seething cloud that hangs for thirty days
pour former un nuage brûlant qui persiste pendant trente jours
And the sun licks down into it with an ultraviolet tongue
Et le soleil léche le nuage avec une langue ultraviolette
(Till it) turns to smog and then it settles in our lungs
(Jusqu'à ce qu') il se transforme en smog et qu'il s'installe dans nos poumons
Oh, Garbage, garbage
Oh, Garbage, garbage
We're filling up the sky with garbage
On remplit le ciel de garbage
Garbage, garbage
Garbage, garbage
What will we do, when there's nothing left to breathe but garbage
Que ferons-nous, quand il ne restera plus rien à respirer que des déchets
Getting home and taking off his shoes he settles with the evening news
En rentrant chez lui et en enlevant ses chaussures, il se laisse aller au journal télévisé
While the kids do homework with the TV in one ear
Pendant que les enfants font leurs devoirs avec la télévision dans une oreille
While Superman for thousandth's time sell talking dolls and conquers crime
Alors que Superman pour la millième fois vend des poupées parlantes et combat le crime
(They) dutifully learn the date of birth of Paul Revere
(Ils) apprennent consciencieusement la date de naissance de Paul Revere
In the paper there's a piece about the mayor's middle name
Dans le journal, il y a un article sur le deuxième prénom du maire
(And) he gets it done in time to watch the all-star bingo game
(Et) il termine à temps pour regarder le match de bingo des étoiles
Oh, Garbage
Oh, Garbage
We're filling up our minds with garbage
On remplit nos esprits de garbage
What will we do when there's nothing left to read
Que ferons-nous quand il n'y aura plus rien à lire
And there's nothing left to need
Et qu'il n'y aura plus rien à avoir besoin
there's nothing left to watch
Il n'y aura plus rien à regarder
there's nothing left to touch
Il n'y aura plus rien à toucher
there's nothing left to walk upon
Il n'y aura plus rien sur lequel marcher
and nothing left to ponder on
Et rien sur quoi méditer
nothing left to see
Rien à voir
and nothing left to be but garbage
Et rien à être que des déchets
In Mr. Thompson's factory they're making plastic Christmas trees
Dans l'usine de Monsieur Thompson, on fabrique des sapins de Noël en plastique
Complete with silver tinsel and a geodesic stand
Complets avec des guirlandes argentées et un support géodésique
The plastic's mixed in giant vats, from some conglomeration that's
Le plastique est mélangé dans des cuves géantes, provenant d'une agglomération qui est
been piped from deep within the Earth, or strip-mined from the land
Été pompée des profondeurs de la Terre, ou extraite à ciel ouvert
And if you ask them questions they say "why don't you see?
Et si vous leur posez des questions, ils vous répondent "pourquoi ne voyez-vous pas ?
It's absolutely needed for the economy."
C'est absolument nécessaire pour l'économie."
Oh, garbage, garbage, garbage
Oh, garbage, garbage, garbage
Their stocks and their bonds all garbage
Leurs actions et leurs obligations sont toutes des déchets
What will they do when their system go to smash
Que feront-ils quand leur système s'effondrera
there's no value to their cash
Il n'y aura plus de valeur à leur argent
there's no money to be made
Il n'y aura plus d'argent à gagner
that there's a world to be repaid
Il y a un monde à rembourser
their kids will read in history book
Leurs enfants liront dans les livres d'histoire
about financiers and other crooks
À propos des financiers et des autres escrocs
and feudalism and slavery
Et du féodalisme et de l'esclavage
and nukes and all their knavery
Et des armes nucléaires et de toutes leurs fourberies
To history's dustbin they're consigned,
Ils sont relégués à la poubelle de l'histoire,
along with many other kinds of garbage
Avec de nombreux autres types de déchets
