Billy's Bones (The Janice Long Show) [July 1985] [Live]
Les Os de Billy (L'émission de Janice Long) [Juillet 1985] [Live]
Billy ran around with the rare old crew
Billy traînait avec la vieille bande
And he knew an Arsenal from Tottenham blue
Et il savait distinguer un Arsenal d'un Tottenham bleu
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
les os de Billy reposent maintenant
Billy saw a copper and he hit him in the knee
Billy a vu un flic et il l'a frappé au genou
And he took him down from six foot to five foot three
Et il l'a fait passer de six pieds à cinq pieds trois
Hit him fair and square in the do-re-mi
L'a frappé en plein dans le do-ré-mi
That copper won't be having any family
Ce flic n'aura pas de famille
Hey Billy, son, where are you now?
Billy, mon gars, es-tu maintenant ?
Don't you know that we need you now?
Tu ne sais pas qu'on a 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?
les os de Billy reposent-ils maintenant ?
Billy went away with the peacekeeping force
Billy est parti avec les forces de maintien de la paix
'Cause he liked a bloody good fight of course
Parce qu'il aimait une bonne bagarre bien sûr
Went away in a big khaki van
Est parti dans un grand fourgon kaki
To the banks of the willy Jordan
Sur les rives du Jourdain
Billy saw the Arabs and he had 'em on the run
Billy a vu les Arabes et il les a fait fuir
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
Puis il a eu les Israéliens dans son viseur
Went a ra-ta-ta and they ran like shit
Un ra-ta-ta et ils ont couru comme des dératés
Hey Billy, son, where are you now?
Billy, mon gars, es-tu maintenant ?
Don't you know that we need you now?
Tu ne sais pas qu'on a 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?
les os de Billy reposent-ils maintenant ?
Hey Billy, son, where are you now?
Billy, mon gars, es-tu maintenant ?
Don't you know that we need you now?
Tu ne sais pas qu'on a 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?
les os de Billy reposent-ils maintenant ?
One night Billy had a rare old time
Un soir, Billy s'est bien amusé
Laughing and singing on the Lebanon line
À rire et chanter sur la ligne du Liban
Came back to camp not looking too pretty
Il est revenu au camp pas très beau à voir
He never even got to see the Holy City
Il n'a même pas pu voir la Ville Sainte
Now Billy's out there in the desert sun
Maintenant Billy est dehors sous le soleil du désert
And his mother cries when the morning comes
Et sa mère pleure quand vient le matin
And there's mother's 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 garçons et filles morts
Hey Billy, son, where are you now?
Billy, mon gars, es-tu maintenant ?
Don't you know that we need you now?
Tu ne sais pas qu'on a 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?
les os de Billy reposent-ils maintenant ?
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow (hello Billy, hello Billy)
Avec un ra-ta-ta et le vieux kow-tow (salut Billy, salut Billy)
Where are Billy's bones resting now? (have a Billy holiday, born on a Monday)
les os de Billy reposent-ils maintenant ? (passe des vacances Billy, un lundi)
Married on a Tuesday, drunk on a Wednesday
Marié un mardi, ivre un mercredi
Got plugged on a Thursday, sick on a Friday
Descendu un jeudi, malade un vendredi
Died on a Saturday, buried on a Sunday
Mort un samedi, enterré un dimanche
