Nederlands duo covert Stromae in het Engels
Europa op zijn best is dit: het Nederlandse duo CUT_ oogt en klinkt als de Duitse elektropioniers Kraftwerk en covert in het Engels de hit 'Papaoutai' van de Belgische Stromae. Als ze nu eens 'Ta Fête', het officiële lied van de Rode Duivels voor de Wereldbeker voetbal, naar het Engels vertaalden, zou de discussie over het gebruik van deze of gene landstaal dan verstommen?
Hieronder alvast de Engelse vertaling van 'Papaoutai'. Kan iedereen lekker meezingen.
Stromae - Papaoutai lyrics by CUT_
Tell me where did he come from
Then I'd know where to go
Momma says look really hard
You will always find what you've lost
She's says he's never far
He goes out and works hard
Momma says working is good
No ungodly company, true?
Untrue?
Where are you papa?
Tell me where papa?
Without having to show to you
I know you know it is no good
Ah damn you papa
Tell me where you hide
Oh, my fingers must've counted
Them a thousand times
Outai papaoutai
Outai papaoutai
Outai papaoutai
Outai outai papaoutai
Well, you believe it or not
One day you'll believe no more
Some day all will be papa.
One day all walk out the door
Will we be despicable?
Will we be admirable?
Passing genes or be genius?
Who takes blame for the irresponsible?
Can you explain
Everyone knows how to make a kid
But no one tries to make a dad
Mister know it all inherits it,
Do we have to make it up ourselves?
Tell us where do you hide?
Sucked our fingers dry
A thousand times
Outai papaoutai
Outai papaoutai
Outai papaoutai
Outai outai papaoutai
Where are you papa?
Tell me where papa?
Without having to show to you
I know you know it is no good
Ah damn you papa
Tell me where you hide
Sucked our fingers dry a thousand times 2x
Outai papaoutai
Outai papaoutai
Outai papaoutai
Outai outai papaoutai
