Generation Sex

NEIL HANNON

Lyrics Translation

Generation sex respects the rights of girls
Who want to take their clothes off
As long as we can all watch that’s okay
And generation sex elects the type of guys
You wouldn’t leave your kids with
And shouts “off with their heads” if they get laid

Lovers watch their backs as hacks in macs
Take snaps through telephoto lenses
Chase Mercedes Benz’ through the night
A mourning nation weeps and wails
But keeps the sales of evil tabloids healthy
The poor protect the wealthy in this world

Generation sex injects the sperm of worms
Into the eggs of field-mice
So you can look real nice for the boys
And generation sex is me and you
And we should really all know better
It doesn’t really matter what you say

Generation sex respects the rights of girls
A geração do sexo respeita os direitos das meninas
Who want to take their clothes off
Que querem tirar suas roupas
As long as we can all watch that’s okay
Contanto que todos possamos assistir, está tudo bem
And generation sex elects the type of guys
E a geração do sexo elege o tipo de caras
You wouldn’t leave your kids with
Com quem você não deixaria seus filhos
And shouts “off with their heads” if they get laid
E grita "fora com suas cabeças" se eles transam
Lovers watch their backs as hacks in macs
Amantes vigiam suas costas enquanto hackers em macs
Take snaps through telephoto lenses
Tiram fotos com lentes telefoto
Chase Mercedes Benz’ through the night
Perseguem Mercedes Benz pela noite
A mourning nation weeps and wails
Uma nação em luto chora e lamenta
But keeps the sales of evil tabloids healthy
Mas mantém as vendas de tabloides malignos saudáveis
The poor protect the wealthy in this world
Os pobres protegem os ricos neste mundo
Generation sex injects the sperm of worms
A geração do sexo injeta o esperma de vermes
Into the eggs of field-mice
Nos ovos de camundongos
So you can look real nice for the boys
Para que você possa parecer realmente bonita para os meninos
And generation sex is me and you
E a geração do sexo somos eu e você
And we should really all know better
E realmente todos deveríamos saber melhor
It doesn’t really matter what you say
Não importa realmente o que você diz
Generation sex respects the rights of girls
La generación sexo respeta los derechos de las chicas
Who want to take their clothes off
Que quieren quitarse la ropa
As long as we can all watch that’s okay
Mientras todos podamos mirar, está bien
And generation sex elects the type of guys
Y la generación sexo elige a los tipos de chicos
You wouldn’t leave your kids with
Con los que no dejarías a tus hijos
And shouts “off with their heads” if they get laid
Y grita "fuera con sus cabezas" si tienen relaciones sexuales
Lovers watch their backs as hacks in macs
Los amantes vigilan sus espaldas mientras los hackers en macs
Take snaps through telephoto lenses
Toman fotos con lentes telefoto
Chase Mercedes Benz’ through the night
Persiguen a los Mercedes Benz por la noche
A mourning nation weeps and wails
Una nación en duelo llora y se lamenta
But keeps the sales of evil tabloids healthy
Pero mantiene las ventas de los tabloides malvados saludables
The poor protect the wealthy in this world
Los pobres protegen a los ricos en este mundo
Generation sex injects the sperm of worms
La generación sexo inyecta el esperma de los gusanos
Into the eggs of field-mice
En los huevos de los ratones de campo
So you can look real nice for the boys
Para que puedas lucir realmente bien para los chicos
And generation sex is me and you
Y la generación sexo somos tú y yo
And we should really all know better
Y realmente todos deberíamos saberlo mejor
It doesn’t really matter what you say
Realmente no importa lo que digas
Generation sex respects the rights of girls
La génération sexe respecte les droits des filles
Who want to take their clothes off
Qui veulent enlever leurs vêtements
As long as we can all watch that’s okay
Tant que nous pouvons tous regarder, c'est d'accord
And generation sex elects the type of guys
Et la génération sexe élit le type de gars
You wouldn’t leave your kids with
Avec qui vous ne laisseriez pas vos enfants
And shouts “off with their heads” if they get laid
Et crie "à bas leurs têtes" s'ils couchent
Lovers watch their backs as hacks in macs
Les amoureux surveillent leurs arrières alors que des voyous en imperméables
Take snaps through telephoto lenses
Prennent des photos à travers des objectifs téléphoto
Chase Mercedes Benz’ through the night
Poursuivent des Mercedes Benz à travers la nuit
A mourning nation weeps and wails
Une nation en deuil pleure et se lamente
But keeps the sales of evil tabloids healthy
Mais maintient les ventes des tabloïds maléfiques en bonne santé
The poor protect the wealthy in this world
Les pauvres protègent les riches dans ce monde
Generation sex injects the sperm of worms
La génération sexe injecte le sperme des vers
Into the eggs of field-mice
Dans les œufs des souris des champs
So you can look real nice for the boys
Pour que tu puisses être vraiment jolie pour les garçons
And generation sex is me and you
Et la génération sexe, c'est toi et moi
And we should really all know better
Et nous devrions vraiment tous savoir mieux
It doesn’t really matter what you say
Peu importe ce que tu dis
Generation sex respects the rights of girls
Die Generation Sex respektiert die Rechte der Mädchen
Who want to take their clothes off
Die ihre Kleidung ausziehen wollen
As long as we can all watch that’s okay
Solange wir alle zuschauen können, ist das in Ordnung
And generation sex elects the type of guys
Und die Generation Sex wählt die Art von Kerlen
You wouldn’t leave your kids with
Bei denen du deine Kinder nicht lassen würdest
And shouts “off with their heads” if they get laid
Und schreit „Kopf ab“ wenn sie Sex haben
Lovers watch their backs as hacks in macs
Liebhaber passen auf ihren Rücken auf, während Hacker in Mänteln
Take snaps through telephoto lenses
Fotos durch Teleobjektive machen
Chase Mercedes Benz’ through the night
Verfolgen Mercedes Benz' durch die Nacht
A mourning nation weeps and wails
Eine trauernde Nation weint und klagt
But keeps the sales of evil tabloids healthy
Aber hält den Verkauf von bösen Boulevardzeitungen gesund
The poor protect the wealthy in this world
Die Armen schützen die Reichen in dieser Welt
Generation sex injects the sperm of worms
Die Generation Sex injiziert den Samen von Würmern
Into the eggs of field-mice
In die Eier von Feldmäusen
So you can look real nice for the boys
Damit du für die Jungs wirklich nett aussehen kannst
And generation sex is me and you
Und die Generation Sex sind ich und du
And we should really all know better
Und wir sollten wirklich alle besser wissen
It doesn’t really matter what you say
Es spielt wirklich keine Rolle, was du sagst
Generation sex respects the rights of girls
La generazione del sesso rispetta i diritti delle ragazze
Who want to take their clothes off
Che vogliono togliersi i vestiti
As long as we can all watch that’s okay
Finché tutti possiamo guardare, va bene
And generation sex elects the type of guys
E la generazione del sesso elegge il tipo di ragazzi
You wouldn’t leave your kids with
Con cui non lasceresti i tuoi figli
And shouts “off with their heads” if they get laid
E grida "fuori con le loro teste" se fanno sesso
Lovers watch their backs as hacks in macs
Gli amanti guardano le loro spalle mentre gli hacker nei mac
Take snaps through telephoto lenses
Scattano foto con obiettivi telefoto
Chase Mercedes Benz’ through the night
Inseguono le Mercedes Benz' nella notte
A mourning nation weeps and wails
Una nazione in lutto piange e si lamenta
But keeps the sales of evil tabloids healthy
Ma mantiene le vendite dei tabloid malvagi sane
The poor protect the wealthy in this world
I poveri proteggono i ricchi in questo mondo
Generation sex injects the sperm of worms
La generazione del sesso inietta lo sperma dei vermi
Into the eggs of field-mice
Nelle uova dei topi di campo
So you can look real nice for the boys
Così puoi sembrare davvero carina per i ragazzi
And generation sex is me and you
E la generazione del sesso siamo io e te
And we should really all know better
E dovremmo davvero saperlo meglio
It doesn’t really matter what you say
Non importa davvero quello che dici
Generation sex respects the rights of girls
Generasi seks menghormati hak-hak gadis
Who want to take their clothes off
Yang ingin melepas pakaian mereka
As long as we can all watch that’s okay
Selama kita semua bisa menonton, itu tidak masalah
And generation sex elects the type of guys
Dan generasi seks memilih jenis pria
You wouldn’t leave your kids with
Yang tidak akan kamu biarkan bersama anak-anakmu
And shouts “off with their heads” if they get laid
Dan berteriak "lepas kepala mereka" jika mereka berhubungan seks
Lovers watch their backs as hacks in macs
Kekasih mengawasi punggung mereka saat peretas dalam mantel
Take snaps through telephoto lenses
Mengambil foto melalui lensa telefoto
Chase Mercedes Benz’ through the night
Mengejar Mercedes Benz' sepanjang malam
A mourning nation weeps and wails
Sebuah bangsa yang berduka menangis dan meratap
But keeps the sales of evil tabloids healthy
Tapi tetap menjaga penjualan tabloid jahat tetap sehat
The poor protect the wealthy in this world
Orang miskin melindungi orang kaya di dunia ini
Generation sex injects the sperm of worms
Generasi seks menyuntikkan sperma cacing
Into the eggs of field-mice
Ke dalam telur tikus ladang
So you can look real nice for the boys
Agar kamu bisa terlihat sangat cantik untuk para pria
And generation sex is me and you
Dan generasi seks adalah aku dan kamu
And we should really all know better
Dan kita seharusnya benar-benar tahu lebih baik
It doesn’t really matter what you say
Tidak masalah apa yang kamu katakan
Generation sex respects the rights of girls
รุ่นเซ็กซ์เคารพสิทธิ์ของสาวๆ
Who want to take their clothes off
ที่ต้องการถอดเสื้อผ้าของตน
As long as we can all watch that’s okay
ถ้าเราทุกคนสามารถดูได้ ก็ไม่เป็นไร
And generation sex elects the type of guys
และรุ่นเซ็กซ์เลือกชนิดของผู้ชาย
You wouldn’t leave your kids with
ที่คุณจะไม่ปล่อยลูกของคุณอยู่กับ
And shouts “off with their heads” if they get laid
และตะโกน “ตัดหัวเขา” ถ้าเขาได้นอนกับใคร
Lovers watch their backs as hacks in macs
คนรักดูแลหลังของพวกเขาเมื่อแฮ็กในเครื่องแบบ
Take snaps through telephoto lenses
ถ่ายภาพผ่านเลนส์โทรทรรศน์
Chase Mercedes Benz’ through the night
ไล่รถ Mercedes Benz ตลอดคืน
A mourning nation weeps and wails
ชาติที่กำลังไหว้วานเศร้าโศก
But keeps the sales of evil tabloids healthy
แต่ยังคงการขายของหนังสือพิมพ์ที่ชั่วร้ายอยู่
The poor protect the wealthy in this world
คนจนปกป้องคนร่ำรวยในโลกนี้
Generation sex injects the sperm of worms
รุ่นเซ็กซ์ฉีดน้ำเชื้อของหนอน
Into the eggs of field-mice
เข้าไปในไข่ของหนูทุ่ง
So you can look real nice for the boys
เพื่อให้คุณดูดีจริงๆสำหรับผู้ชาย
And generation sex is me and you
และรุ่นเซ็กซ์คือฉันและคุณ
And we should really all know better
และเราควรจะรู้ดีกว่านี้
It doesn’t really matter what you say
ไม่ว่าคุณจะพูดอะไรก็ตาม
Generation sex respects the rights of girls
世代性尊重女孩的权利
Who want to take their clothes off
想要脱掉衣服的女孩
As long as we can all watch that’s okay
只要我们都能看到,那就没问题
And generation sex elects the type of guys
世代性选择那些你不会
You wouldn’t leave your kids with
把孩子留给他们的那种人
And shouts “off with their heads” if they get laid
并且如果他们发生关系就喊着“砍掉他们的头”
Lovers watch their backs as hacks in macs
恋人们警惕背后,穿着雨衣的记者
Take snaps through telephoto lenses
通过长焦镜头偷拍
Chase Mercedes Benz’ through the night
追逐夜晚中的梅赛德斯奔驰
A mourning nation weeps and wails
一个哀悼的国家哭泣和哀号
But keeps the sales of evil tabloids healthy
但保持那些邪恶小报的销售旺盛
The poor protect the wealthy in this world
在这个世界上,穷人保护富人
Generation sex injects the sperm of worms
世代性将蠕虫的精子注入
Into the eggs of field-mice
田鼠的卵子中
So you can look real nice for the boys
这样你就可以为男孩们看起来真漂亮
And generation sex is me and you
世代性是我和你
And we should really all know better
我们真的应该更明白
It doesn’t really matter what you say
你说什么其实并不重要
