Paroles et traduction de la chanson «Techno D-day» par Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros

Well it was a techno D-day out on Omaha beach
Et bien, c'etait
I was a reserve D. J. playing Columbian mountain beats
J'étais un DJ réserviste, je jouais des airs des montagnes colombiennes
Andres Landero, ay mi sombrero
Andres Landero,
Hold onto your hats, we gotta go
Accrochez vous, nous devons y aller

Because the noise inspectors with the sound detectors
Parce que les inspecteurs du bruit, avec leur détecteurs de sons
Were coming on down the beach
S'avancaient en bas de la plage
And the councellors wanna pounce on us
Et parce que les conseillers voulaient se jeter sur nous
There we go disturbing the peace
Nous sommes allés perturber la paix
And the Cornish sun had only just begun
Le soleil de Cornouailles avait à peine commencé
To sink into the western sea
A se coucher dans la mer de l'ouest
So to keep it low so the cops don't know
Alors pour rester discrets, afin que la police n'en sache rien
I spun my Harry Belafonte
J'ai fait touner mon [disque d'] Harry Belafonte

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ouais, ouais, ouais
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ouais, ouais, ouais

On a techno D-day, a techno D-day
Out on Omaha beach
Where the troops believe in a life of freedom
And this is all about free speech

The day became night by the campfire light
Le jour devint nuit, à la lumière du feu de camp
The crowd began testifying
La foule commencat à témoigner
Using the headphones for a mike, for tenor saw's delight
Utilisant mes écouteurs comme micro, pour le plaisir de Tenor Saw
I sang another new sound is dying
J'ai chanté "un autre nouveau son se meurt"

On a techno D-day, a techno D-day
Where the long arm of the law cannot reach
Un endroit que le long bras de la lois ne peut atteindre
On a techno D-day, a techno D-day
We waited on Omaha beach
Nous avons attendu à Omaha beach
We waited and we waited
Nous avons attendu, et attendu

Behind me in the booth was the techno crew
Ready with the crucial beats
Still, they said keep it low, spin your calypso
We're waiting for Babylon to retreat
The crowd was ready to riot, they were sick of being quiet
We're still waiting for the signal to go
Then the walkie talkie gear spat out the all clear
And the boys hit the decks in full flow, go, g-g-go

It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day
Way out on Omaha beach
Where the troops believe in a life of freedom
And this is all about free speech
Techno D-day, a techno D-day
Way out on Omaha beach
Where the troops believe in a life of freedom
And this is about free speech
Go, go techno D-day, go techno D-day
Sometimes you have to get out of reach
It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day
And this is all about free speech
