C’ette poste est pour aller avec le « English Topic » – comme un point de conversation a propos de Aussie Slang ou mots typiques ici.
Depuis beaucoup des annees, j’ai fait un ‘etude’ pareil avec chansons francaises modernes, et j’ai trouve que c’est tres bon pour le vocabulaire.
(Pour le moment je ne touche pas les chansons d’INXS ou AC/DC car ils sont tres connus deja).Je commence avec un de mes chansons preferes
Si il y a des gens qui voudrait partager un de leur chansons aussie preferes, bienvenue de l’ajouter ici.
Holy Grail – Hunters & Collectors (annees: early 1990’s)
(K: ok, c’est pas un histoire d’oz, mais plutot King Arthur, mais il y a des mots tres typiques Aussie).
Woke up this morning
From the strangest dream
I was in the greatest army
The world had ever seen
We were marching as one
On the road for the Holy Grail.Started out, seeking fortune and glory
It’s a short song
But it’s a hell of a story
When you spend your lifetime
Trying to get your hands on the Holy GrailBut have you heard about the great Crusaders?
We ran into millions (*1)
And nobody got paid
Yeah we razed (*2) 4 corners of the globe
For the Holy GrailAll the locals scattered
They were hiding in the snow
We were so far from home
So how were we to know?
There’d be nothing left to plunder (*3)
When we stumbled on the Holy GrailWe were full of beans (*4)
But we were dying like flies (*5)
And those big black birds
They were circling the skies
And you know what they say –
Nobody deserves to dieOh, I’ve been searching for an easy way
To escape the cold light of day
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
But I’ve got nowhere else to go
There’s nowhere else to go.I followed orders,
God knows where I’ve been (*6)
When I woke up alone,
All my wounds were clean
I’m still here
I’m still full of the Holy Grail.*1 = en dette des millions de $.
*2 = j’adore ce mot! ‘Razed’ = un peu comme ‘to mow down’ – to go over the top of et detuire tout, mais trop fort – it’s like flattening the entire earth en chercheant qqc.
*3 = vieux mot anglais pour ‘voler’
*4 = tres fort, plein d’energie’
*5 = en train de mourir tres vite (ie comme les mouches d’Oz when sprayed with Mortein bug killer)
* 6 = il a aucune idée ou il etaitDes autres bientot….
Kate4 mars 2006 à 9 h 22 min #304608chapallaParticipantoh!! en voila une idee sympa!!
Je me suis toujours dit que lorsque j’arriverai a comprendre les paroles des chansons en anglais je pourrai me dire : yes, je parle anglais!! Et ben c’est cool d’avoir ce genre de petites traductions sur les expressions imagees, ca va enrichir mon voc!! 😛
Thanks Kate!!
clem 🙂
5 mars 2006 à 6 h 01 min #304609Kate09MembreJe t’en prie Clem 😀 Et voici un autre…. un chanson rock/aborigene/dance cette fois qui etait tres connu il y a 10 ans.
Treaty
Well I heard it on the radio
And I saw it on the television
Back in 1988,
All those talking politiciansWords are easy, words are cheap
Much cheaper than our priceless land
But promises can disappear
Just like writing in the sandTreaty, yeah, treaty yeah
……………This land was never given up
This land was never bought and sold
The planting of the Union Jack (*1)
Never changed our law at allNow two rivers run their course (*2)
Separated for so long
I’m dreaming of a brighter day
When the waters will be one (*3)Treaty yeah, treaty yeah, treaty now
Promises disappear
…..lost destinyTreaty…..
*1 = 1ier placement du drapeau Anglais sur le sol australien
*2 = image Aborigene – 1 riviere qui represent les hommes blanche, et une autre qui represent les aborigenes, qui coule dans 2 directions separes,
*3 et leur bon reve est pour les 2 riviers de devenir comme 1.Apres cette chanson, Yothu Yindi a devenu tres celebre – la plus celebre groupe indigene en Australie.
Les paroles sont tres bon, oui, mais aussi la musique est formidable – rock et avec aussi le digeridoo, un tres bon combinaision que Yothu Yindi a fait beaucoup dans les annees suivants pour leur autres hits comme “Djapana” et “World Turning” et meme “Jailbreak” (une version nouvelle de la chanson par AC/DC!)
Je vous conseille l’album « One Blood » (leur album de Greatest Hits)Kate
5 mars 2006 à 6 h 17 min #304610Kate09MembreEt un autre, plutot plus difficile.
Les paroles etait ecrit par un des plus celebres poets en Australie: Andrew Barton (Banjo) Paterson en 1895. C’est connu comme notre 2eme anthem/chanson national.

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/rewind/txt/s1233719.htm (histoire)(Le ** est pour les mots qu’on n’utilisent pas non plus, ou tres rarement)
Waltzing Matilda
Once a jolly swagman (**1) camped by a billabong (*2),
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited till his billy (*3) boiled
You’ll come a ‘waltzing matilda’ (*4) with meWaltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited till his billy boiled
You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me.Down came a jumbuck (**5) to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee (*6)
And he sang as he shoved (*7) that jumbuck in his tuckerbag (**8
You’ll come a waltzing matilda with meWaltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited till his billy boiled
You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me.Down came a stockman, (*9) mounted on his thoroughbred (*10),
Down came the troopers (**11), one, two, three.
They said « What’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tuckerbag?
You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me »Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited till his billy boiled
You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me.Up jumped the swagman and sprang (*12) into the billabong,
« You’ll never catch me alive, » cried he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me.Il y a plusieurs versions un peu different (il y a quelques versions faux sur l’internet) mais la voila, le version qu’on entends la plus et que j’ai entendu lorsque j’etais plus jeune.
Explications:
1: un vagabond, homme voyageur qui a porte ses affaires dans un a ‘swag’ sac rond sur son dos (le premier ‘sac a dos’ en australie???)
2: Billabong – un genre d’etang dans le outback, ou les moutons et les vaches viennent souvent pour boire
3: a billy is a tin can with a handle used for boiling tea over a campfire
4: As some of you may already know, les mots ‘waltzing matilda’ a rien a voir avec danser ou valser, et c’est rumoured d’etre venu d’un mot allemand….je ne souviens pas exactement ce que dit le phrase.
5: ** jumbuck = vieux mot australien pour un mouton.
6: Glee = joie, bonheur
7: shoved – pushed it firmly into his bag
8. Tuckerbag = sac pour nourriture
9 Stockman – farming man – normalement a cheval (des animaux)
10. pur sang
11. Troopers = le police a cheval
12. Il a saute5 mars 2006 à 6 h 27 min #304611Kate09MembreEt maintenant pour le « Australian Anthem » officiel:
**= aussi des mots tres vieux, et non plus utiles
Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt (**1) by sea:
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,
In history’s page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains (**2) then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We’ll toil (**3) with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned (*4) of all the lands,
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless (*5) plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.**Girt = entoure par
Strains = voix
Toil = bosse
Renowned: – celebre (parmi tout les pays)
Boundless – illimiteJe crois qu’il n’y a pas beaucoup des gens qui connait les paroles apres le 1eme verse (et beaucoup qui connait juste quelques lignes. ….could be some variations in the 2nd verse)
Au debut, en australie, notre National Anthem etait le Anthem d’angleterre « God Save the Queen ».
On a decide qu’il a du change, et il y avait un concours ou le publique a pu voter…. au fin, il y avait un choix entre « Advance Australia Fair », « Waltzing Matilda » et « God Save the Queen » (Beaucoup des gens pensent encore que Waltzing Matilda est la meilleur, et qui connait plus des paroles de W. M. )http://www.imagesaustralia.com/australiannationalanthem.htm
(on peut entendre la musique aussi – midi file)Voir le fond du page pour le version plus longue d' »Advance Australia Fair »

12 mars 2006 à 15 h 56 min #304612cecileParticipantSuper idee Kate :listen:
L’une de mes prefereesTraveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,« Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover. »Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, « Do you speak-a my language? »
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,« I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover. »Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, « Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty? »
And he said,« Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover. »15 mars 2006 à 13 h 01 min #304613OzBoyMembreYee-hah , I didn’t see your topic before Kate09 . I thought you’d not make it .

Salut Cecile, thanks for your contribution, another good old aussie favourite and I believe it’s the only Aussie song which mentions vegemite 🙂
Kate
16 mars 2006 à 13 h 38 min #304615tadpoleMembre😮 No Kate, WRONG!!
We all are little vegemites
As happy as can be
We always eat our vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea
We all are getting very very very very strong(not sure about these words)Because we LOVE our vegemite
We all ADORE our vegemite
It puts a rose in every cheek!!Or your good old
Peanut butter, YES PLEASE
Peanut butter, NO CHEESE
Eat it crunchie, eat it smooth
Peanut butter is the groove
So, Peanut Butter YES
Peanut butter, YES
Peanut butter, YES PLEASE!or you remember …
Baked beans are good for your heart
The more you eat, the more you fart
The more you fart, the better you feel
So eat your beans at every meal.😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

They are from TV ads, aren’t they? the first and last one recall something.17 mars 2006 à 4 h 38 min #304617Kate09MembreYes, the first one is from a very very old tv ad.
You got me Tadpole, I should have said that Downunder was the only pop/rock song to feature Vegemite 🙂
Kate
17 mars 2006 à 11 h 55 min #304618tadpoleMembreUm Cecile, I dont think the last one about baked beans and farting was a tv ad, more a silly song we kids sung at school.
I dont know the title for this, but learnt it at school too.
Ive been around the world a couple of times or maybe more
Ive seen the sights, Ive had delights
On every foreign shore
But when my friends all ask me
The place that I adore, I tell them right awayGive me a home amung the gum trees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two and a kangaroo
A clothes line out the back
Veranda out the front
And an old rocking chairSome people live in houses
And some beneath the ground
Others live in mansions, with fences all around
But me I like the bush you know
With rabbits running around
And a pumpkin vine out the back.Give me a home amung the gum trees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two and a kangaroo
A clothes line out the back
Veranda out the front
And an old rocking chair.24 mai 2006 à 17 h 59 min #304619kykybossMembresuper idee j’ai bien rit en lissant tout cela
25 mai 2006 à 10 h 32 min #304620cecileParticipantAnother one 🙂
I think I hear the sounds of then,
And people talking,
The scenes recalled, by minute movement,
And songs they fall, from the backing tape.
That certain texture, that certain smell,To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets,
In brick veneer on financed beds.
In a room, of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell,Brings home the heavy days,
Brings home the night time swell,Out on the patio we’d sit,
And the humidity we’d breathe,
We’d watch the lightning crack over canefields
Laugh and think, this is Australia.The block is awkward – it faces west,
Long diagonals, and sloping too.
And in the distance, through the heat haze,
In convoys of silence the cattle graze.That certain texture, that certain beat,
Brings forth the night time heat.Out on the patio we’d sit,
And the humidity we’d breathe,
We’d watch the lightning crack over canefields
Laugh and think that this is Australia.To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets,
In brick veneer on financed beds.
In a room of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell,Brings forth the heavy days,
Brings forth the night time sweatOut on the patio we’d sit,
And the humidity we’d breathe,
We’d watch the lightning crack over canefields
Laugh and think, this is Australia.Out on the patio we’d sit,
And the humidity we’d breathe,
We’d watch the lightning crack over canefields
Laugh and think, this is Australia.30 mai 2006 à 14 h 26 min #304621member_58c8f73249230MembreJ’adore aussi ta premiere chanson « downunder » par contre la deuxième je vois pas trop !
