Olivia Ruiz "Vitrier" lyrics

Translation to:enfi

Vitrier

Les mains sales et le corps lasséde porter de porte en porte,de gueuler d'une voix trop forteà en briser le verre.

Vent glacial ou pluie mesquinetandis que le bourgeoise bouquineun livre sur la condition des hommes,il rôde sous ses fenêtresen se disant peut-être, gueulant de tout son être :

« Vitrier, vitrier ! »Dans son bleu réglementaire.« Vitrier, vitrier ! »La casquette de travers.Qu'il était beau le père.« Vitrier, vitrier ! »Artisan, ouvrier,c'est ce qui le rendait fier.C'est ce qui le rendait fier.

Il mettait tous son cœur à l'ouvragepour que le verre prennent pas tous leur chauffage.Et puis un jour dans la modernité,le doux vitrage l'a mis sur le carreaux.On n'entendit plus son beau chant d'oiseau, prolo :

« Vitrier, vitrier ! »Dans son bleu réglementaire.« Vitrier, vitrier ! »La casquette de travers.Qu'il était beau le père.« Vitrier, vitrier ! »Artisan, ouvrier,c'est ce qui le rendait fier.C'est ce qui le rendait fier.

Il a rangé son bleu au placard.Il fout plus jamais les pieds sur le trottoir.Maintenant ses os se brisent comme du verre,il espère que là-haut les prolos auront des choses à faire.Il s'occupera de la fenêtre du bon Dieuavec ses ailes attachées à son bleu.Le pauvre vieux, chaque jour déraille ;il parle la nuit de réparer du vitrailet chanter aux cieux :

« Vitrier, vitrier ! »Dans son bleu réglementaire.« Vitrier, vitrier ! »La casquette de travers.Qu'il était beau le père.« Vitrier, vitrier ! »Artisan, ouvrier,c'est ce qui le rendait fier.C'est ce qui le rendait fier.

Glazier

His hands were dirty and his body tiredfrom hauling (things) from door to doorfrom bawling with too loud a voice,loud enough to shatter glass.

Icy wind and petty rain,while the middle class girl readsa book about human condition,he prowls under her windows,thinking maybe that's it, bawling with all his heart:

Glazier, glazier,wearing his regulation overalls.Glazier, glazier,with his askew cap,the old man was so handsome.Glazier, glazier,(being a) craftsman, (a) worker,that's what made him proud.That's what made him proud.

He worked with all his heartto prevent glass from sucking up the heating1.Then one day, along with modernitythe sweet glass left him in the lurch2His nice bird-prole song was not heard anymore.

Glazier, glazier,wearing his regulation overalls.Glazier, glazier,with his askew cap,the old man was so handsome.Glazier, glazier,(being a) craftsman, (a) worker,that's what made him proud.That's what made him proud.

He put his overalls in a closet,he doesn't set a foot on the sidewalk anymore.Now his bones are brittle like glass.He hopes proles will have something to do up there.He'll fix the Good Lord's window with his wingstied to his overallsThe poor old geezer is ranting every dayAt night he talks about fixing satained glass and singing in heavens

Glazier, glazier,wearing his regulation overalls.Glazier, glazier,with his askew cap,the old man was so handsome.Glazier, glazier,(being a) craftsman, (a) worker,that's what made him proud.That's what made him proud.
