Paroles de Punish The Monkey
Mark Knopfler
They’re driving long nails into coffins
You’ve been having sleepless nights
You’ve gone as quiet as a church mouse
And checking on your rights
The boss has hung you out to dry
And it looks as though
They’ll punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go
You’ve been talking to a lawyer
Are you going to to pretend
That you and your employer
Are still the best of friends?
Somebody’s going to take the fall
There’s your quid pro quo
They’ll punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go
Here comes a policeman
He won’t be sidetracked
He’s asking about a smoking gun
He’s after the facts
It’s a quiet life from here on in
You’ve dropped your poison cup
The telephone is ringing
But you’re not picking up
Time’s up, Sir Lord Flunkey
And everybody knows
They’ll punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go

Punir The Monkey
You’ve been having sleepless nights
Tu as eu des nuits blanches
You’ve gone as quiet as a church mouse
Tu es resté aussi silencieux q'une souris d'église
And checking on your rights
Et vérifiant tes droits
The boss has hung you out to dry
Le chef t'a accroché dehors pour t'assécher
And it looks as though
Et il semble
They’ll punish the monkey
Qu'ils vont punir le singe
And let the organ grinder go
Et laisser l'orgue de barbarie jouer
Tu as parlé à un avocat
You’ve been talking to a lawyer
Vas tu prétendre
Are you going to to pretend
Que toi et ton employeur
That you and your employer
Etes toujours les meilleurs amis?
Are still the best of friends?
Quelqun s'apprête à chuter
Somebody’s going to take the fall
Voilà ton quiproquo
There’s your quid pro quo
Ils vont punir le singe
They’ll punish the monkey
Et laisser l'orgue de barbarie jouer
And let the organ grinder go
Voilà un policier
Il ne va pas se laisser avoir
Here comes a policeman
Il pose des questions à propos d'une arme à feu
He won’t be sidetracked
Il est sur le coup
He’s asking about a smoking gun
C'est une vie calme maintenant
He’s after the facts
Tu as laissé tomber ta coupe de poison
Le téléphone sonne
It’s a quiet life from here on in
Mais tu ne le prends pas
You’ve dropped your poison cup
Le temps est écoulé, Sir Lord Flunkey
The telephone is ringing
Et tout le monde sait
But you’re not picking up
Qu'ils vont punir le singe
Time’s up, Sir Lord Flunkey
Et laisser l'orgue de barbarie jouer
And everybody knows
They’ll punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go
