Violet's Tale
Ren Gill
London City, far from pretty
2-0-0-5
A lady down in Paddington
Is fighting just to stay alive
Rhythmic beeps and blood-stained sheets
Our lady weeps, she's tired and frail
To set the scene we must rewind
The hands of time for Violet's tale
Violet was a silent girl
Grew up with violent starts
Her mother was a drinker
And her father was a bastard
Every night he'd tuck her tight
But never left the room
I'll spare you of the things he did
I'm sure her mother knew
Violet was a silent girl
She moved out at sixteen
A semi-detached council flat
Paid for by a welfare-scheme
Packing shelves at Tesco's
Stacking jars like pickled bricks
She met a boy named Stevie
And he was a little prick
Violet was a silent girl
And Violet, she fell fast
See, Stevie was a wrongin'
But he sure knew how to charm her
Every night he'd tuck her tight
But never left the room
History repeats itself
He'd paint her black and blue and, ah
She never stood a chance
The Devil comes to dance
Violet, why you always so quiet?
On her bedroom door and he's irate
He's been drinking and smoking, he's up late
And he stands by her bedside, she shakes
But her eyes stay shut
You fucking slut, I know you're up
And he pinches her eyelids and folds them up
Violet, why you lying to me, Violet?
She stays silent, things turn violent
That's the sound of his fists when they fall like a crashing pilot
Hit like hailstones
One to the collarbone, full force, full-blown
Blood splat, bone crack, knick-knack-paddy-whack
One to the jaw and a tooth spat, detached
Fist connects and disconnects the bone
A quick deflect to misdirect the blow
But nonetheless, his punches met her throat
Such a mess, he's left her bruised and broke
Violet, why you always so quiet, Violet?
Why you such a little liar, Violet?
Do you think I want to do this, Violet?
In character, she stays silent
Well say something, Violet, silence
Fucking say something, Violet, silence
Wait, say something, Violet
Not one word, she stays quiet
London City, far from pretty

A lady rushed to Paddington
Is fighting just to stay alive
The doctor in a state of shock
Saw something here so very wrong
See Violet, she was pregnant
Poor Violet, she was nine months gone
Turning to the doctor
Violet broke her silence and she cried
"If I'm to die right here tonight
Please let my baby stay alive"
The doctor soon regained composure
Called the surgeon to come in
As Violet's world turned to black
The curtains closed
The lights went dim
In London City, far from pretty

A lady down in Paddington
Just lost the fight to stay alive
A tragedy or a miracle
It happened on these very streets
Two twins are lying side by side
A girl named Jenny
And a boy named Screech
London City, far from pretty

Sa mère était une buveuse
And her father was a bastard
Et son père était un salaud
Every night he'd tuck her tight
Chaque nuit, il la bordait bien serrée
But never left the room

I'll spare you of the things he did
Je vous épargnerai les choses qu'il a faites
I'm sure her mother knew

Every night he'd tuck her tight
Chaque nuit, il la bordait bien serrée
But never left the room

History repeats itself
L'histoire se répète
He'd paint her black and blue and, ah

She never stood a chance
Elle n'a jamais eu une chance
The Devil comes to dance
Le Diable vient pour danser
Violet, why you always so quiet?
Violet, pourquoi es-tu toujours si silencieuse ?
On her bedroom door and he's irate
Sur la porte de sa chambre et il est furieux
He's been drinking and smoking, he's up late
Il a bu et fumé, il est en retard
And he stands by her bedside, she shakes
Et il se tient à son chevet, elle tremble
But her eyes stay shut
Mais ses yeux restent fermés
You fucking slut, I know you're up
Tu es une putain, je sais que tu es réveillée
And he pinches her eyelids and folds them up
Et il pince ses paupières et les replie
Violet, why you lying to me, Violet?
Violet, pourquoi me mens-tu, Violet ?
She stays silent, things turn violent
Elle reste silencieuse, les choses deviennent violentes
That's the sound of his fists when they fall like a crashing pilot
C'est le bruit de ses poings quand ils tombent comme un pilote qui s'écrase
Hit like hailstones
Frapper comme des grêlons
One to the collarbone, full force, full-blown
Un sur la clavicule, plein force, plein souffle
Blood splat, bone crack, knick-knack-paddy-whack
Éclaboussure de sang, craquement d'os, knick-knack-paddy-whack
One to the jaw and a tooth spat, detached
Un sur la mâchoire et une dent crachée, détachée
Fist connects and disconnects the bone
Le poing se connecte et déconnecte l'os
A quick deflect to misdirect the blow
Un rapide déflexion pour détourner le coup
But nonetheless, his punches met her throat
Mais néanmoins, ses coups ont atteint sa gorge
Such a mess, he's left her bruised and broke
Quel gâchis, il l'a laissée meurtrie et cassée
Violet, why you always so quiet, Violet?
Violet, pourquoi es-tu toujours si silencieuse, Violet ?
Why you such a little liar, Violet?
Pourquoi es-tu une si petite menteuse, Violet ?
Do you think I want to do this, Violet?
Penses-tu que je veux faire ça, Violet ?
In character, she stays silent

Wait, say something, Violet

Not one word, she stays quiet

But her eyes stay shut
Aber ihre Augen bleiben geschlossen
You fucking slut, I know you're up
Du verdammte Schlampe, ich weiß, du bist wach

That's the sound of his fists when they fall like a crashing pilot

E Violet, cadde velocemente
See, Stevie was a wrongin'
Vedi, Stevie era un mascalzone
But he sure knew how to charm her
Ma sapeva sicuramente come incantarla
Every night he'd tuck her tight
Ogni notte la infilava stretta
But never left the room
Ma non lasciava mai la stanza
History repeats itself
La storia si ripete
He'd paint her black and blue and, ah
La dipingeva di nero e blu e, ah
She never stood a chance
Non ha mai avuto una possibilità
The Devil comes to dance
Il Diavolo viene a ballare
Violet, why you always so quiet?
Violet, perché sei sempre così silenziosa?
On her bedroom door and he's irate
Sulla porta della sua camera da letto ed è furioso
He's been drinking and smoking, he's up late
Ha bevuto e fumato, è in ritardo
And he stands by her bedside, she shakes
E si ferma al suo capezzale, lei trema
But her eyes stay shut
Ma i suoi occhi rimangono chiusi
You fucking slut, I know you're up
Puttana, so che sei sveglia
And he pinches her eyelids and folds them up
E le pizzica le palpebre e le piega
Violet, why you lying to me, Violet?
Violet, perché mi stai mentendo, Violet?
She stays silent, things turn violent
Rimane in silenzio, le cose diventano violente
That's the sound of his fists when they fall like a crashing pilot
Questo è il suono dei suoi pugni quando cadono come un pilota che si schianta
Hit like hailstones
Colpiscono come grandine
One to the collarbone, full force, full-blown
Uno alla clavicola, piena forza, pieno impatto
Blood splat, bone crack, knick-knack-paddy-whack
Sangue schizzato, osso rotto, knick-knack-paddy-whack
One to the jaw and a tooth spat, detached
Uno alla mascella e un dente sputato, staccato
Fist connects and disconnects the bone
Il pugno si connette e disconnette l'osso
A quick deflect to misdirect the blow
Un rapido deviare per deviare il colpo
But nonetheless, his punches met her throat
Ma nonostante ciò, i suoi pugni hanno colpito la sua gola
Such a mess, he's left her bruised and broke
Che disastro, l'ha lasciata contusa e rotta
Violet, why you always so quiet, Violet?
Violet, perché sei sempre così silenziosa, Violet?
Why you such a little liar, Violet?
Perché sei una piccola bugiarda, Violet?
Do you think I want to do this, Violet?
Pensi che io voglia fare questo, Violet?
In character, she stays silent
In personaggio, rimane in silenzio
Well say something, Violet, silence
Bene, di qualcosa, Violet, silenzio
Fucking say something, Violet, silence
Fottutamente di qualcosa, Violet, silenzio
Wait, say something, Violet
Aspetta, di qualcosa, Violet
Not one word, she stays quiet
Non una parola, rimane in silenzio
London City, far from pretty
Città di Londra, lontana dall'essere bella

Saw something here so very wrong
Ha visto qualcosa di molto sbagliato qui
See Violet, she was pregnant
Vedi Violet, era incinta
Poor Violet, she was nine months gone
Povera Violet, era incinta di nove mesi
Turning to the doctor
Rivolgendosi al dottore
Violet broke her silence and she cried
Violet ha rotto il suo silenzio e ha pianto
"If I'm to die right here tonight
"Se devo morire qui stasera
Please let my baby stay alive"
Per favore lascia che il mio bambino resti vivo"
The doctor soon regained composure
Il dottore presto ha ritrovato la compostezza
Called the surgeon to come in
Chiamò il chirurgo per entrare
As Violet's world turned to black
Mentre il mondo di Violet diventava nero
The curtains closed
Le tende si chiusero
The lights went dim
Le luci si affievolirono
In London City, far from pretty
Nella città di Londra, lontana dall'essere bella
