Dur Comme Fer Lyrics in English Francis Cabrel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dur Comme Fer by Francis Cabrel from French to English.
L'homme qui parlait, disait, 'je viens pour vous tondre'
The man who spoke said, 'I come to shear you'
J'étais déjà tondu, j'allais pas répondre
I was already shorn, I wasn't going to respond
Tout ce qu'il nous promet depuis la tribune
Everything he promises us from the platform
On attendra que ça tombe de la lune
We'll wait for it to fall from the moon
Il est soulevé par la grâce
He is lifted by grace
Il dit qu'il va changer nos vies
He says he's going to change our lives
Sous les dorures des palaces
Under the gilding of palaces
On a juste peur qu'il oublie
We're just afraid he'll forget
L'homme qui parlait pensait, 'je vais les sécher'
The man who spoke thought, 'I'm going to dry them out'
On était déjà sec, on n'a pas bronché
We were already dry, we didn't flinch
Quand tout est déjà noir y a plus rien à craindre
When everything is already black there's nothing left to fear
Et chez nous y a que l'espoir qui reste à éteindre
And at home there's only hope left to extinguish
Il a plein d'autres choses à faire
He has plenty of other things to do
Y a tellement de miss météo
There are so many weather girls
S'il pense à nous entre deux verres
If he thinks of us between two drinks
Ce sera aux horaires bureaux
It will be during office hours
C'est clair comme de l'eau
It's clear as water
Il le jure dur comme fer
He swears it as hard as iron
Partager le gros lot
To share the jackpot
Ça il en fait son affaire
That's his business
Ce sera l'eldorado, il a les six bons numéros
It will be the eldorado, he has the six winning numbers
Plus le complémentaire
Plus the bonus
L'homme qui parlait disait, 'je ne pense qu'à vous
The man who spoke said, 'I only think of you
Je ne pense qu'à vous plumer, je l'avoue'
I only think of plucking you, I admit it'
Le Père Noël, Jesus, toutes ces histoires
Santa Claus, Jesus, all these stories
Vous y avez cru? Vous pouvez bien me croire
Did you believe in them? You can well believe me
D'un coup d'œil à sa secrétaire
With a glance at his secretary
Il a demandé de l'écho
He asked for an echo
Le même que pour Dieu le père
The same as for God the Father
Ce gars-là connaît son boulot
This guy knows his job
C'est clair comme de l'eau
It's clear as water
Il le jure dur comme fer
He swears it as hard as iron
Partager le gros lot
To share the jackpot
Ça il en fait son affaire
That's his business
Ce sera l'eldorado, il a les six bons numéros
It will be the eldorado, he has the six winning numbers
Plus le complémentaire
Plus the bonus
Il le jure dur comme fer
He swears it as hard as iron
Ce sera l'eldorado, il a les six bons numéros
It will be the eldorado, he has the six winning numbers
Il le jure dur comme fer
He swears it as hard as iron
Et sa voix se perd dans l'écho
And his voice is lost in the echo
Et sa voix se perd dans l'écho
And his voice is lost in the echo
Et sa voix se perd dans l'écho
And his voice is lost in the echo
Outro
Et sa voix se perd dans l'écho
And his voice is lost in the echo
