When Britain Refused To Sing

When Britain refused to sing
When Britain refused to sing
當英國人不再歌唱
The announced it over the wireless
當英國人不再歌唱
New Years Eve at midnight
通過無線電通知
It was all over the papers
新年夜要來臨
That Britain was now tongue-tied
報紙上全在說
Maybe they did it out of kindness
英國人結巴了
Maybe they did it out of politeness
也許他們這麼做並非善意
TV stopped giving away prizes
也許他們這麼做並不禮貌
There was radio silence
電視停止貢獻獎品
Trade union meetings
電台也保持沉默
School assembly choirs
貿易聯盟會議
On every football terrace
學校組織合唱團
Even the WI
在每一個足球檯上
When Britain refused to sing
甚至有說明書
When Britain refused to sing
當英國人不再歌唱
Shut your mouth, get out of my face
當英國人不再歌唱
Ill blow you away if you invade my space
閉上你的嘴從我面前消失
Stay off of my land, turn your stereo down
如若你侵占了我的空間我會把你炸飛
When you drive through the village wont you please slow down?
離開我的土地開小你的廣播聲
There are traps in the grass for the working-class
當你駕車駛過村莊你不能慢一點嗎
So stick to the path, go home, have a bath
在草叢中有為工人準備的陷阱
All the farms have alarms, all the hills have eyes
遵照路線回家洗澡
So for Gods sake stay out of the countryside
所有農場拉響警報群山也睜眼
When Britain refused to sing
看在上帝的份上遠離村莊吧
When Britain refused to sing
當英國人不再歌唱
La, la, la, la,la
當英國人不再歌唱
La, la, la, la,la
La, la, la, la,la
La, la, la, la,la
They said it would be all over by Christmas
Thered be a special carol service
他們說聖誕節會結束一切
But Christmas came and went
這有一個特殊的頌歌服務
We were much too nervous
聖誕節來臨並結束
I made us a time capsule
我們太緊張
One day they know how we feel
我們做好時間膠囊
I took our favourite record
有一天他們會知道我們的感受
And buried it in a field
我把我們最愛的唱片
When Britain refused to sing
在草地埋葬
When Britain refused to sing
當英國人不再歌唱
When Britain refused to sing
當英國人不再歌唱
When Britain refused to sing
當英國人不再歌唱
