Meanwhile the gays

Meanwhile the gays

Meanwhile the gays
In cafes and car-rental offices
At concerts and at orifices,
In old pub gardens lousy with petunias
Nursing ancient grudge and Old Peculiars,
In open-topped buses and little hats
In port-a-cabins and little flats

Pendant ce temps les gays

Pendant ce temps les gays
Dans les cafés et chez Avis
Aux concerts et dans les orifices,
Dans les vieux jardins de pubs infestés de pétunias
Entretenant vieilles rancunes et bières Old Peculiar,
Dans les bus à impériale et sous de petits chapeaux
Dans les cabanes de chantier et les petits studios

Traduction : Maison de Normandie

Ondertussen de gays

Ondertussen onderbreken de gays
In cafés en autoverhuurzaken
Bij concerten en bij lichaamsgaten
In oude kroegtuinen met luizige petunia’s
Vervuld van rancune achter Old Peculiers
In dakloze dubbeldekkers onder petjes
In wooncontainers en kleine flatjes
In blazers en gele hesjes
