Super Furry Animals - Torra Fy Ngwallt Yn Hir

[yt]FIfzqYQd8Fs[/yt]

Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir?
Will you cut my hair long?
Reit i lawr at fy nhin
Right down to my arse
Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir?
Will you cut my hair long?
Reit i lawr at fy nhin
Right down to my arse

Fydd neb yn eistedd wrth fy ymyl
No-one will be sitting next to me
Pan dwi ar y bws
When I'm on the bus

Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir?
Will you cut my hair long?
A paid a geund dim ffys!
And don't make a fuss!

Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir?
Will you cut my hair long?
Dros fy eiliau
Over my eyelashes
Nei di dorri fy eiliau
Will you cut my eyelashes
Dros nghlustiau?
Over my ears?

Os yw'r dyfodol yn y fantol
If the future's in the balance
Na'i ddim clywed dim!
I won't hear a thing!

Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir?
Will you cut my hair long?
Pam lai? Pam ddim?
Why not? Why not?
Nei di
Will you

Siswrn! Nei di dyfu fy ngwallt, pan dwi tyfu fyny, tyfu fyny?
Scissors! Will you cut my hair, when I'm growing up, growing up? (X4)

Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir?
Will you cut my hair long?
Reit i lawr at fy nhin
Right down to my arse
Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir?
Will you cut my hair long?
Reit i lawr at fy nhin
Right down to my arse

Ok, technically not a foreign language song, but it contains a lot of French...

Someone's had a go...

Yam! Bam! mon chat Splash
Git sur mon lit a bouffe
sa langue en buvant tout mon whisky
quant a moi peu dormi, vide, brime
J'ai du dormir dans la gouttiere
Ou j'ai eu un flash *
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
En quatre couleurs *"

Allez hop! un matin
Une louloute est venue chez-moi
Poupee de cellophane, cheveux chinois
un sparadrap, une gueule de bois
a bu ma biere dans un grand verre en caoutchouc
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Comme un indien dans son igloo

Ca plane pour moi ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ca plane pour moi
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Ca plane pour moi

Allez hop! la nana quel panard!
Quelle vibration!
de s'envoyer sur le paillasson
Limee, ruinee, videe, comblee
You are the King of the divan!
Qu'elle me dit en passant
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
I am the King of the divan

Ca plane pour moi ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ca plane pour moi
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Ca plane pour moi

Allez hop! t'occupe t'inquiete
touche pas ma planete
It's not today
Quel le ciel me tombera sur la tete
et que la colle me manquera ****
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Ca plane pour moi

Allez hop! ma nana s'est tiree
S'est barree enfin c'est marre a tout casse
L'evier, le bar me laissant seul
Comme un grand connard
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Le pied dans le plat

Ca plane pour moi ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ca plane pour moi
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi moi moi moi moi


... which comes out at something like...

Wham! Bam! my cat Splash
lies on my bed with his tongue puffed out
by drinking all my whisky.
As for me, not enough sleep, drained, persecuted,
I had to sleep in the gutter
where I had a flash
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
in four colours

Allez-oop! One morning
a darling came to my home,
a cellophane puppet with Chinese hair,
a plaster, a hangover,
drank my beer in a large rubber glass
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
like an Indian in his igloo

This works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me
This work for me
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This works for me

Allez-oop! The chick***, what a gas!
what a vibration!
to be sent on the door mat
filed, ruined, drained, filled
You are the King of the divan!
she says to me in passing
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
I am the King of the divan

This works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me
This workss for me
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This works for me

Allez-oop! Don't mind, don't worry
Don't affect me
It’s not today
that the sky will fall on my head
and I'll be without glue
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This life’s for me

Allez-oop! my chick has gone away,
flew away, finally had enough, to break
the sink, the bar, leaving me alone
like a complete jerk
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
I've put my foot in it

This works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me
This workss for me
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This works for me
This workss for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me


* "J'ai eu un flash" could also be translated as "I had a trip". Which seems to make sense.

** Most sources agree on "en quatre couleurs", but "En GAF couleur" has been suggested, referring to the photographic film manufacturer. A video of Plastic singing (miming) has him holding up four fingers at this point, which seems to settle it.

*** Chick = babe/girl, as in "are you looking at my bird?" Hmm ... not convinced about that last verse about the chick going away ... I assume it's full of a lot of slang! And I take it that to be "sent" on the doormat is in the sense of something rather more carnal ... Let's just say that the above was a loose, literal translation, if there can be such a thing. But you get the jist.

**** "Ou que l'alcool me manquera" or "et que la colle me manquera"? Is he running out of alcohol or coming unstuck? You decide. Stop press: a late entry for "et que la gueule me manquera" = "and my big mouth will fail me". Could be ...


So there.

Gosh. I wonder how many pints of Harveys "Plas" (to his mates) had drunk before he came up with those lyrics?

Love the mariachi horn
