Lyrics and translation The Bonzo Dog Band - We Were Wrong

We Were Wrong

We were wrong, we were wrong but so young & so very in lo-o-ove.
That boozy English day at the Brighton Race Courses.
(The wind blew my skirt up & it frightened the horses).
We were wrong etc.

The May-Ball in Oxford we arrived in a punt.
(You fell down in the beer-tent, unashamedly drunk).
We were wrong etc.

Cos' I'm going to Rhino over your lino,
(& I'm going to Rhino with you).
In all kinds of leather, we Rhino "together".
We'll keep Rhinoing thru'.

The kedgeree breakfasts, the "gratis" champagne.
(The hours I spent wiping it off my hired D.J.).
We were wrong etc.
(etc.).

"Transmogrify" the jackals speak,
The worms are feeding on our cheeks;
"Transmute" the time flies quickly past,
And Keynsham arms with lies & masks.

On avait tort

On avait tort, on avait tort, mais si jeunes et si amoureux.
Ce jour anglais arrosé à l'hippodrome de Brighton.
(Le vent a soulevé ta jupe et ça a effrayé les chevaux).
On avait tort, etc.

Le bal de mai à Oxford, on est arrivés en barque.
(Tu es tombée dans la tente à bière, ivre sans vergogne).
On avait tort, etc.

Parce que je vais Rhinocer sur ton lino,
(& je vais Rhinocer avec toi).
Dans toutes sortes de cuirs, on Rhinocer "ensemble".
On continuera à Rhinocer.

Les petits déjeuners au kedgeree, le champagne "gratuit".
(Les heures que j'ai passées à l'essuyer de mon DJ de location).
On avait tort, etc.
(etc.).

"Transmogrifier" disent les chacals,
Les vers se nourrissent de nos joues;
"Transmuter" le temps passe vite,
Et Keynsham s'arme de mensonges et de masques.
