Lyrics and translation The Who - Ball and Chain

Ball and Chain

Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain

That pretty piece of Cuba
Designed to cause men pain
Oh, when you light up in Cuba
You won't feel the same again

Down in Guantanamo
Moves you, waitin' for the big cigars
Down in Guantanamo
Mmm, still waitin' for the big cigars

Been a breach of promise
Hmm, still guilty with no charge
There's a-smoke in the forest
Hmm, and the tumour is gettin' large

Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain

Ooh, there's a long road to travel
For justice to make its claim
So let's bring down the gavel
Let the prisoner say his name

Hmm, still waitin' for the big cigars
Still waitin' for
Still waiting for the big cigars
Hey, still waitin' for the big cigars

Ball and Chain

Là-bas, à Guantanamo
On a toujours le boulet au pied
Là-bas, à Guantanamo
On a toujours le boulet au pied

Ce joli morceau de Cuba
Conçu pour faire souffrir les hommes
Oh, quand tu allumes un cigare à Cuba
Tu ne sentiras plus jamais la même chose

Là-bas, à Guantanamo
On bouge, on attend les gros cigares
Là-bas, à Guantanamo
Mmm, on attend toujours les gros cigares

Il y a eu une rupture de promesse
Hmm, toujours coupable sans accusation
Il y a de la fumée dans la forêt
Hmm, et la tumeur grossit

Là-bas, à Guantanamo
On a toujours le boulet au pied
Là-bas, à Guantanamo
On a toujours le boulet au pied

Ooh, il y a un long chemin à parcourir
Pour que la justice fasse valoir ses droits
Alors faisons tomber le marteau
Laissons le prisonnier dire son nom

Hmm, on attend toujours les gros cigares
On attend toujours
On attend toujours les gros cigares
Hey, on attend toujours les gros cigares
