Lyrics and translation The Pogues - Sea Shanty (Demo)
Dear
dirty
London
in
the
pouring
rain
Chère
sale
Londres
sous
la
pluie
battante
I
wish
to
God
I
was
back
on
the
sea
again
J'aimerais
à
Dieu
être
de
retour
sur
la
mer
Though
that
belongs
to
the
world
of
never
will
be
Bien
que
cela
appartienne
au
monde
du
jamais
vu
There
was
never
a
wilder
bastard
than
me
on
the
sea
Il
n'y
a
jamais
eu
de
plus
sauvage
bâtard
que
moi
sur
la
mer
I
could
fuck
all
the
whores
in
damnation
me
boys
Je
pourrais
baiser
toutes
les
putes
en
damnation,
mes
amis
Though
they
wriggled
and
hollered
and
made
a
great
noise
Bien
qu'elles
se
tortillent
et
hurlent
et
fassent
un
grand
bruit
Then
I′d
drink
till
I
stank
and
then
drink
plenty
more
Ensuite,
je
boirais
jusqu'à
ce
que
je
pue
et
ensuite
je
boirais
beaucoup
plus
And
I
won't
go
down
to
the
sea
any
more
Et
je
n'irai
plus
jamais
vers
la
mer
But
if
I
had
ten
pounds
then
I′d
raise
a
loud
cheer
Mais
si
j'avais
dix
livres,
alors
je
pousserais
un
grand
hurrah
And
I'd
toast
all
me
neighbours
both
distant
and
dear
Et
je
porterais
un
toast
à
tous
mes
voisins,
tant
lointains
que
proches
And
I'd
shoot
back
great
belly-crippling
buckets
of
beer
Et
j'avalerai
de
grandes
seaux
de
bière
qui
font
mal
au
ventre
And
a
pox
and
a
curse
on
the
people
round
here
Et
la
peste
et
la
malédiction
sur
les
gens
d'ici
Wouldn′t
give
you
me
the
price
of
a
half
pint
of
beer
Ne
te
donnerait
pas
le
prix
d'une
demi-pinte
de
bière
Wouldn′t
give
you
me
the
price
of
a
cup
of
good
cheer
Ne
te
donnerait
pas
le
prix
d'une
tasse
de
bonne
humeur
A
pox
and
a
curse
on
the
people
round
here
La
peste
et
la
malédiction
sur
les
gens
d'ici
A
man's
ambition
must
indeed
be
small
L'ambition
d'un
homme
doit
vraiment
être
petite
To
write
his
name
upon
a
shithouse
wall
Pour
écrire
son
nom
sur
le
mur
d'un
cabinet
But
before
I
die
I′ll
add
my
regal
scrawl
Mais
avant
de
mourir,
j'ajouterai
ma
griffe
royale
To
show
the
world
I'm
left
with
sweet
fuck
all
Pour
montrer
au
monde
qu'il
ne
me
reste
plus
que
de
la
merde
And
when
all
of
us
bold
shithouse
poets
do
die
Et
quand
nous,
les
poètes
audacieux
des
chiottes,
mourrons
tous
A
monument
grand
they
will
raise
to
the
sky
Un
monument
grandiose
qu'ils
élèveront
vers
le
ciel
A
monument
made
just
to
mark
our
great
wit
Un
monument
fait
juste
pour
marquer
notre
grand
esprit
A
monument
of
solid
shit
now
me
boys
Un
monument
de
merde
solide
maintenant
mes
amis
I
met
with
Bill
James
we
fought
over
crusts
J'ai
rencontré
Bill
James,
nous
nous
sommes
battus
pour
des
croûtes
I
called
him
a
whore
and
he
booted
me
crotch
Je
l'ai
traité
de
pute
et
il
m'a
donné
un
coup
de
pied
dans
l'aine
Then
we
shared
out
the
jack
and
we
thought
it
a
treat
Puis
nous
avons
partagé
le
jack
et
nous
avons
trouvé
ça
génial
The
compliments
pass
when
the
quality
meet

compliments

quand
la
qualité

rencontre
