Lyrics and translation The Guess Who - Cardboard Empire (Remastered)
Cardboard
empire
would
you
crumble
to
the
ground
Empire
de
carton,
tu
t'effondrerais
au
sol
As
we
watched
by
Alors
que
nous
observions
Shipping
magnate
are
you
stranded
on
the
ground
Magnats
du
transport
maritime,
êtes-vous
bloqués
au
sol
With
no
dog
to
fly...
Sans
aucun
chien
pour
voler...
Round
the
table
sat
the
kings
of
circumstance
Autour
de
la
table,
étaient
assis
les
rois
de
la
circonstance
The
puppeteer
would
pull
his
strings
Le
marionnettiste
tirait
sur
ses
fils
And
we
would
sing
and
dance
Et
nous
chantions
et
dansions
As
the
cardboard
empire
fell
Alors
que
l'empire
de
carton
tombait
Stone
Age
Neros
sat
behind
their
desks
of
steel
Les
Nérons
de
l'âge
de
pierre
étaient
assis
derrière
leurs
bureaux
d'acier
Trading
paper
clips
Échangeant
des
trombones
Of
our
empire
there
was
nothing
left
untouched
De
notre
empire,
il
ne
restait
rien
d'intacte
But
potato
chips
Sauf
des
croustilles
We
sat
down
at
the
banquet
and
the
jester
danced
a
reel
Nous
nous
sommes
assis
au
banquet
et
le
bouffon
a
dansé
une
gigue
The
gladiator
drew
his
sword,
we
knew
we
were
the
meal
Le
gladiateur
a
sorti
son
épée,
nous
savions
que
nous
étions
le
repas
As
the
cardboard
empire
fell
Alors
que
l'empire
de
carton
tombait
Who
are
the
people,
who
are
the
people
Qui
sont
les
gens,
qui
sont
les
gens
Who
are
the
people
that
you
think
you
are?
Qui
sont
les
gens
que
tu
penses
être ?
