Lyrics and translation The Smiths - Pretty Girls Make Graves (Troy Tate Version)
Upon
the
sand,
upon
the
bay
Sur
le
sable,
sur
la
baie
There
is
a
quick
and
easy
way,
you
say
Il
y
a
un
moyen
rapide
et
facile,
tu
dis
Before
you
illustrate
Avant
que
tu
ne
l'illustres
I′d
rather
state
Je
préférerais
déclarer
I'm
not
the
man
you
think
I
am
Je
ne
suis
pas
l'homme
que
tu
penses
que
je
suis
I′m
not
the
man
you
think
I
am
Je
ne
suis
pas
l'homme
que
tu
penses
que
je
suis
And
Sorrow's
native
son
Et
le
fils
indigène
de
la
Tristesse
He
will
not
smile
for
anyone
Il
ne
sourira
à
personne
And
pretty
girls
make
graves
Et
les
jolies
filles
font
des
tombes
End
of
the
pier,
end
of
the
bay
Fin
de
la
jetée,
fin
de
la
baie
You
tug
my
arm
and
say:
"Give
in
to
lust
Tu
tires
mon
bras
et
tu
dis
: "Cède
à
la
luxure
Give
up
to
lust.
Rends-toi
à
la
luxure.
Oh
heaven
knows
we'll
soon
be
dust."
Oh,
Dieu
sait
que
nous
serons
bientôt
poussière."
I′m
not
the
man
you
think
I
am
Je
ne
suis
pas
l'homme
que
tu
penses
que
je
suis
I′m
not
the
man
you
think
I
am
Je
ne
suis
pas
l'homme
que
tu
penses
que
je
suis
And
Sorrow's
native
son
Et
le
fils
indigène
de
la
Tristesse
He
will
not
rise
for
anyone
Il
ne
se
lèvera
pour
personne
And
pretty
girls
make
graves
Et
les
jolies
filles
font
des
tombes
I
could
have
been
wild
and
I
could
have
been
free
J'aurais
pu
être
sauvage
et
j'aurais
pu
être
libre
But
Nature
played
this
trick
on
me
Mais
la
Nature
m'a
joué
ce
tour
She
wants
it
now
Elle
le
veut
maintenant
And
she
will
not
wait
Et
elle
n'attend
pas
But
she′s
too
rough
Mais
elle
est
trop
brutale
And
I'm
too
delicate
Et
je
suis
trop
délicat
Then
on
the
sand
Puis
sur
le
sable
Another
man,
he
takes
her
hand
Un
autre
homme,
il
prend
sa
main
A
smile
lights
up
her
stupid
face
Un
sourire
illumina
son
visage
stupide
(And
well,
it
would.)
(Et
bien,
ça
le
ferait.)
I
lost
my
faith
in
womanhood
J'ai
perdu
ma
foi
en
la
féminité
I
lost
my
faith
in
womanhood
J'ai
perdu
ma
foi
en
la
féminité
I
lost
my
faith...
J'ai
perdu
ma
foi...
