Текст и перевод песни Johnny Hallyday - Cheveux longs idées courtes

Cheveux longs idées courtes

Si monsieur Kennedy
Aujourd'hui revenait
Ou si monsieur Gandhy
Soudain ressuscitait
Ils seraient étonnés
Quand on leur apprendrait
Que pour changer le monde
Il suffit de chanter

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Et surtout, avant tout
D'avoir les cheveux longs

Crier dans un micro
"Je veux la liberté"
Assis sur son derrière
Avec les bras croisés
Nos pères et nos grands-pères
N'y avaient pas pensé
Sinon combien de larmes
Et de sang évités

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Mais bien sûr leurs cheveux
N'étaient pas assez longs

Écrire sur son blouson
La guerre doit s'arrêter
Assis sur son derrière
Avec les bras croisés
Les bonzes du Vietnam
N'y ont jamais pensé
Tout ce qu'ils ont trouvé
C'est partir en fumée

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Mais bien sûr leurs cheveux
Ne sont pas assez longs

Crier c'est une honte
Des hommes meurent de faim
Assis sur son derrière
Avec les bras croisés
Est-ce la solution
Est-ce le bon moyen
En tout cas les hindous
Devront s'en contenter

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Avant de trouver mieux
Leurs cheveux seront longs

Si les mots suffisaient
Pour tout réaliser
Tout en restant assis
Avec les bras croisés
Je sais que dans une cage
Je serai enfermé
Mais c'est une autre histoire
Que de m'y faire entrer

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Car il ne suffit pas
D'avoir les cheveux longs

Fait-on pousser du blé
En faisant des discours
Faut-il un uniforme
Pour détester la guerre
Faut-il pour être un homme
Ne plus chanter l'amour
Faut-il mendier son pain
Et ne plus être fier

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Faut-il pour être libre
Avoir les cheveux longs, longs, longs

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam...

Long Hair, Short Ideas

If Mr. Kennedy
Came back today
Or if Mr. Gandhi
Were suddenly resurrected
They would be amazed
When they learned
That to change the world
All you have to do is sing

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
And above all, before anything else
To have long hair

Scream into a microphone
"I want freedom"
Sitting on his behind
With his arms crossed
Our fathers and grandfathers
Had not thought of it
Otherwise how many tears
And blood avoided

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
But of course their hair
Wasn't long enough

Write on his jacket
The war must stop
Sitting on his behind
With his arms crossed
The bonzes of Vietnam
Never thought of it
All they found
Was going up in smoke

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
But of course their hair
Isn't long enough

Screaming is a disgrace
Men are starving to death
Sitting on his behind
With his arms crossed
Is this the solution
Is this the right way
In any case the Hindus
Will have to be satisfied with it

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Until they find something better
Their hair will be long

If words were enough
To make everything happen
While staying seated
With his arms crossed
I know that in a cage
I will be locked up
But that's another story
Than getting me to go in there

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
For it is not enough
To have long hair

Do we grow wheat
By making speeches
Do we need a uniform
To hate war
Do we have to, to be a man
Stop singing love
Do we have to beg for bread
And no longer be proud

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Do we have to, to be free
Have hair long, long, long

Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam
Da-da-da-da-dam...
