La Complainte De Mackie (original)La Complainte De Mackie (translation)
Les dents longues, redoutables The long, fearsome teeth
Le requin tue sans merci The shark kills mercilessly
Le surin au fond d’la poche The sourin at the bottom of the pocket
Sans reproche, c’est Mackie Without reproach, it's Mackie
Sur les bords de la Tamise On the banks of the Thames
Le sang coule dans la nuit Blood flows in the night
On périt les poches vides We perish with empty pockets
Poches pleines, quelqu’un fuit Pockets full, someone is leaking
Gens de bien ou hommes riches Good people or rich men
Disparaissent au grand jour Disappear in broad daylight
Sur leurs traces, quelqu’un passe In their footsteps, someone passes
Qui ramène le butin Who brings back the loot
Jenny Trowler agonise Jenny Trowler is dying
Un couteau entre les seins A knife between the breasts
Sur les rives dans l’eau grise On the banks in the gray water
M’sieur Mackie s’en lave les mains Mister Mackie washes his hands of it
Et la veuve d'âge tendre And the tender-aged widow
Que l’on viole dans son lit That we rape in his bed
Que l’on vole sans attendre That we fly without waiting
Le gentleman, c’est Mackie The gentleman is Mackie
Le feu gronde dans la ville The fire roars through the city
Le feu brille, la mort vient The fire is shining, death is coming
On s'étonne, on questionne We wonder, we question
Oui mais Mackie ne sait rien Yeah but Mackie don't know nothing
Le sang coule des mâchoires Blood flows from the jaws
Au repas du grand requin At the Great Shark's Meal
Mains gantées et nappe blanche Gloved hands and white tablecloth
Monsieur Mackie croque son prochain…Mr. Mackie bites his next…
