Текст и перевод песни Laura Fygi - La Complainte De Mackie

La Complainte De Mackie

Les dents longues, redoutables
Le requin tue sans merci
Le surin au fond d′la poche
Sans reproche, c'est Mackie

Sur les bords de la Tamise
Le sang coule dans la nuit
On périt les poches vides
Poches pleines, quelqu′un fuit

Jenny Trowler agonise
Un couteau entre les seins
Sur la rive dans l'eau grise
Monsieur Mackie se lave les mains

Et la veuve d'âge tendre
Que l′on viole dans son lit
Que l′on vole sans attendre
Le gentleman, c'est Mackie

Incendie sur la ville
Le feu brille, la mort vient
On s′étonne, on questionne
Oui mais Mackie, il ne sait rien

Le sang coule des mâchoires
Au repas du grand requin
Mains gantées et nappe blanche
Monsieur Mackie croque son prochain

Monsieur Mackie croque son prochain

Mackie's Lament

Sharp-toothed, fearsome
The shark kills without mercy
Switchblade in his pocket
Without reproach, it's Mackie

On the banks of the Thames
Blood flows in the night
With empty pockets we die
Pockets full, someone flees

Jenny Trowler lies dying
A knife between her breasts
On the shore in the gray water
Mister Mackie washes his hands

And the tender young widow
Who is raped in her bed
From whom they steal at once
The gentleman, that's Mackie

Fire over the city
The fire burns, death comes
We are astonished, we ask questions
Yes, but Mackie, he knows nothing

Blood flows from the jaws
At the great shark's feast
Gloved hands and white tablecloth
Mister Mackie devours his neighbor

Mister Mackie devours his neighbor
