Lyrics and translation The Pogues - Billy's Bones (BBC Janice Long Show July 3rd 1985)




Billy's Bones (BBC Janice Long Show July 3rd 1985)
Les os de Billy (émission de Janice Long sur la BBC le 3 juillet 1985)
Billy ran around with the rare old crew
Billy traînait avec une vieille équipe
And he knew an Arsenal from Tottenham blue
Et il connaissait Arsenal d'Arsenal de Tottenham
We′d be a darn sight better of if we knew
On serait bien mieux si on savait
Where Billy's bones are resting now
reposent maintenant les os de Billy
Billy saw a copper and he hit him in the knee
Billy a vu un flic et l'a frappé au genou
And he took him down from six foot to five foot three
Et il l'a fait passer de 6 pieds à 5 pieds 3
Then he hit him fair and square in the do-re-mi
Puis il l'a frappé bien en plein dans le do-re-mi
That copper won′t be having any family
Ce flic n'aura plus de famille
Hey Billy son where are you now
Billy mon fils es-tu maintenant
Don't you know that we need you now
Ne sais-tu pas que nous avons besoin de toi maintenant
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow
Avec un ra-ta-ta et le vieux kow-tow
Where are Billy's bones resting now
reposent maintenant les os de Billy
Billy went away with the peace-keeping force
Billy est parti avec la force de maintien de la paix
′Cause he liked a bloody good fight of course
Parce qu'il aimait un bon combat bien sûr
Went away in an old khaki van to the banks of the river Jordan
Il est parti dans une vieille camionnette kaki jusqu'aux rives du Jourdain
Billy saw the Arabs and he had ′em on the run
Billy a vu les Arabes et il les a mis en fuite
When he got 'em in the range of his sub-machine gun
Quand il les a eus à portée de sa mitraillette
Then he had the Israelis in his sights, went a ra-ta-ta
Puis il a eu les Israéliens dans sa ligne de mire, a fait un ra-ta-ta
And they ran like Shiites
Et ils ont couru comme des chiites
Hey Billy son where are you now
Billy mon fils es-tu maintenant
Don′t you know that we need you now
Ne sais-tu pas que nous avons besoin de toi maintenant
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow
Avec un ra-ta-ta et le vieux kow-tow
Where are Billy's bones resting now
reposent maintenant les os de Billy
One night Billy had a rare old time,
Un soir Billy a passé un bon moment,
Laughing and singing on the Lebanon line
Rire et chanter sur la ligne du Liban
Came back to camp not looking too pretty
Il est revenu au camp, pas très beau
Never even got to see the Holy City
N'a même pas pu voir la Ville sainte
Now Billy′s out there in the desert sun
Maintenant Billy est là-bas sous le soleil du désert
And his mother cries when the morning comes
Et sa mère pleure quand le matin arrive
And there's mothers crying all over this world
Et il y a des mères qui pleurent partout dans le monde
For their poor dead darling boys and girls
Pour leurs pauvres petits garçons et filles morts
Hey Billy son where are you now
Billy mon fils es-tu maintenant
Don′t you know that we need you now
Ne sais-tu pas que nous avons besoin de toi maintenant
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow
Avec un ra-ta-ta et le vieux kow-tow
Where are Billy's bones resting now
reposent maintenant les os de Billy
Have a Billy holiday
Avoir des vacances de Billy
Born on a Monday
un lundi
Married on a Tuesday
Marié un mardi
Drunk on a Wednesday
Ivre un mercredi
Got plugged on a Thursday
S'est fait planter un jeudi
Sick on a Friday
Malade un vendredi
Died on a Saturday
Mort un samedi
Buried on a Sunday
Enterré un dimanche
