Torrey Canyon - Mick Harvey

Je suis n dans les chantiers japonais,

En vrit, j’appartiens aux Americains.

Une filiale d’une compagnie navale,

Dont j’ai oubli l’adresse Los Angeles

Cent vingt mille tonnes de petrole brut

Cent vingt mille tonnes, dans le torrey canyon,

Le torrey canyon.

Aux bermudes, 30 degr de latitude,

Se tient la barracuda, tankers coporation.

Son patron m’a donn en location

A l’union Oil company de Californie.

Cent vingt mille tonnes de ptrole brut

Cent vingt mille tonnes, dans le torrey canyon,

Le torrey canyon.

Si je bats,

Pavillon du Liberia,

Le captain et les marins,

Sont tous italiens,

Le mazout dont on m’a rempli les soutes,

C’est celui du consortium,

British Petroleum.

Cent vingt mille tonnes espece de brute

Cent vingt mille tonnes, dans le torrey canyon,

Le torrey canyon, le torrey canyon,

Le torrey canyon, le torrey canyon,

Le torrey canyon, le torrey canyon.

I was born in Japanese yards,

In truth, I belong to the Americans.

A subsidiary of a naval company,

Whose Los Angeles address I forgot

One hundred and twenty thousand tons of crude oil

One hundred and twenty thousand tons, in the torrey canyon,

The Torrey Canyon.

In Bermuda, 30 degrees latitude,

Stands the barracuda, tankers corporation.

His boss rented me out

At Union Oil Company of California.

One hundred and twenty thousand tons of crude oil

One hundred and twenty thousand tons, in the torrey canyon,

The Torrey Canyon.

If I beat,

Liberia Pavilion,

The captain and the sailors,

are all Italian

The oil with which I was filled in the bunkers,

It is that of the consortium,

British Petroleum.

One hundred and twenty thousand tons, you crude

One hundred and twenty thousand tons, in the torrey canyon,

Torrey Canyon, Torrey Canyon,

Torrey Canyon, Torrey Canyon,

Torrey Canyon, Torrey Canyon.
