The Jam - Town Called Malice - Live At Hammersmith Palais, UK / 1981 - translation of the lyrics into French




Town Called Malice - Live At Hammersmith Palais, UK / 1981
Ville appelée Malice - Live At Hammersmith Palais, UK / 1981
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
On devrait arrêter de rêver d'une vie tranquille
′Cause it's the one we′ll never know
Parce que c'est celle qu'on ne connaîtra jamais
And quit running for that runaway bus
Et arrêter de courir après ce bus en fuite
'Cause those rosy days are few
Parce que ces jours roses sont rares
And stop apologizing for the things you've never done
Et arrêter de s'excuser pour les choses que tu n'as jamais faites
′Cause time is short and life is cruel but it′s up to us to change
Parce que le temps est court et la vie est cruelle, mais c'est à nous de changer
This town called Malice
Cette ville appelée Malice
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
Des rangées et des rangées de camionnettes à lait désaffectées
Stand dying in the dairy yard
Meurent dans la laiterie
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
Et une centaine de femmes au foyer solitaires serrent des bouteilles de lait vides
Bottles to their hearts
Contre leur cœur
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
Accrochant leurs vieilles lettres d'amour sur la ligne pour qu'elles sèchent
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious
C'est assez pour te faire cesser de croire quand les larmes viennent vite et furieusement
In a town called Malice, yeah
Dans une ville appelée Malice, oui
Struggle after struggle, year after year
Lutte après lutte, année après année
The atmosphere′s a fine blend of ice I'm almost stone cold dead
L'atmosphère est un mélange fin de glace, je suis presque mort de froid
In a town called Malice, ooh yeah
Dans une ville appelée Malice, oh oui
A whole street′s belief in Sunday's roast beef
La foi de toute une rue dans le rôti du dimanche
Gets dashed against the cop
Se brise contre le flic
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
Pour soit réduire la bière, soit l'équipement neuf des enfants
It′s a big decision in a town called Malice, ooh yeah
C'est une grosse décision dans une ville appelée Malice, oh oui
Ooh, the ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
Oh, le fantôme d'un train à vapeur résonne sur ma voie
It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round and round
Il est à ce moment-là à destination de nulle part, il tourne en rond
Playground kids and creaking swings
Enfants sur le terrain de jeu et balançoires grinçantes
Lost laughter in the breeze
Rires perdus dans la brise
I could go on for hours and I probably will
Je pourrais continuer pendant des heures, et je le ferai probablement
But I'd sooner put some joy back in this town called Malice, yeah ooh
Mais je préférerais remettre un peu de joie dans cette ville appelée Malice, oui oh
In this town called Malice, yeah
Dans cette ville appelée Malice, oui
In this town called Malice, ooh yeah
Dans cette ville appelée Malice, oh oui
