Lyrics and translation The Pogues - White City (Live At Brixton Academy 21st or 22nd December 2001)
Here
a
tower
shinning
bright
Voici
une
tour
brillant
vivement
Once
stood
gleaming
in
the
night
Autrefois
elle
luisait
la
nuit
Where
now
there′s
just
the
rubble
Où
désormais
il
n'y
a
plus
que
des
gravats
In
the
hole
here
the
paddies
and
the
frogs
Dans
le
trou
ici,
les
Irlandais
et
les
Français
Came
to
gamble
on
the
dogs
Venaient
parier
sur
les
chiens
Came
to
gamble
on
the
dogs
not
long
ago
Ils
venaient
parier
sur
les
chiens
il
n'y
a
pas
si
longtemps
Oh
the
torn
up
ticket
stubs
Oh
les
talons
de
tickets
déchirés
From
a
hundred
thousand
mugs
De
cent
mille
pigeons
Now
washed
away
with
dead
dreams
in
the
rain
Maintenant
emportés
avec
les
rêves
morts
sous
la
pluie
And
the
car-parks
going
up
Et
les
parkings
poussent
And
they're
pulling
down
the
pubs
Et
ils
démolissent
les
pubs
And
its
just
another
bloody
rainy
day
Et
c'est
encore
un
maudit
jour
pluvieux
Oh
sweet
city
of
my
dreams
Oh
douce
cité
de
mes
rêves
Of
speed
and
skill
and
schemes
De
vitesse,
d'adresse
et
de
stratagèmes
Like
Atlantis
you
just
disappeared
from
view
Comme
l'Atlantide,
tu
as
disparu
de
ma
vue
And
the
hare
upon
the
wire
Et
le
lièvre
sur
la
ligne
d'arrivée
Has
been
burnt
upon
your
pyre
A
été
brûlé
sur
ton
bûcher
Like
the
black
dog
that
once
raced
Comme
le
chien
noir
qui
autrefois
courait
Out
from
trap
two
Hors
de
la
trappe
deux
