Lesbian Code d'Alix Dobkin

23 septembre 2008

Un grand merci à Sapholfaire, qui nous a dégoté cette perle, j'ai mis un peu de temps à le poster mais, je voulais vous le traduire... Quasiment impossible... Je me suis arrêtée aux 2/3 car cette chanson est pleine de doubles et triples sens ( dont beaucoup m'échappent ) et de références à des assos, des personnes, des villes et des regroupements lesbiens à travers le monde ( ainsi que des mots inventés pour l'occasion, des mots "lesbiennisés"). En tout cas voici quelques clés pour comprendre: Dike signifie guine, avec ça vous devriez au moins comprendre l'essentiel...

Paroles:

She's a BD (Baby Dyke)
She's a PD (Possible, Probable)
She's a DD (yeah, she's a Definite Dyke)
She's a POU (Positively One of Us)
She's got Hi-LP (Good Potential)
Suffering from PLT (pre-Lesbian Tension "it's a terrible thing to watch")
She's a wannabe, a DOT
Well if she can't be a dyke of today, she could be a dyke of tomorrow
Then she'll be a DIT (a dyke in training)
Or an FDA (Future Dyke of America)
She'll be a Betty, a friend of Dorothy
She'll be our kind, that's OK...
Wee da lee da Le Lesbian Code
Is she Lithuanian? (I don't know)
Is she Lebanese? Well, she's gifted!
She's a Lebesian, Lesbonic & I happen to know
She's a Vagitarian
She's a member of the Team,
She's a member of the lodge, of the family,
She's a member of the church, of the club, of the committee
And she sings in the Choir
Is she a lima bean? (From Kentucky)
Or is she a green,new bean, or is she refried?
Is she a canned Bean in the closet?
Or Is she now with a man? Then she's a hasbean.
She's a Fresbian in Fresno
In Lansing: 48912
She lives in Dyke Heights
She's an Arkansas Earth Dyke
Motor City Dykette
She goes to The Pagoda with the Chinese. You Bet!
She colors outside the lines in Charlotte.
Wee da lee da Le Lesbian Code
Is she an Aussie Dyke? Check it out, waddyareckon?
She's a likely one. Spot-o. Gottabe!
Ah! She looks a bit Sus. She must be of the faith.
I'll put her on Layby
She's a Leesbian From New Zealand
She's Campas from Aotearoa, kiwi fruit
You can spot the bus driver, spot the camp girl
She's on the bike. Camp is a row of tents
She's a "how's-your-mother?" Over in Dublin
She's a "Whatever-you're-havin' " in Belfast. In Cork.
She's a quare girl, a lash. Got a glad eye
Got a kick in her. She drinks Tipperary Water.
Wee da lee da Le Lesbian Code
She's the Church of England, She's Ginger.
She's got Dutch-Boy Fingers
She's a MOT, a member of the tribe
She's a Gold Star, Got her ID Card
And she shops at Tescoes
A Sister of the Inclination
She's elite in Scotland, Auch Eye. Zap!
She's all right. That's a 100 points
Is she a carpenter from Bristol?
Is she a bus driver from Nottingham?
Is she a motor Dyke? Is she a Badgy Dyke?
Does she live in the Dykery?
Ah, then she's a Fresbian in Fresno
In Lansing: 48912
She lives in Dyke Heights. (Sort of like 2040... Dyke Heights)
She's an Arkansas Earth Dyke
Motor City Dykette
She goes to The Pagoda with the Chinese. You Bet!
She colors outside the lines in Charlotte.

She's a Lemon, She's a Leso!
Wee da lee da Le Lesbian
She's a big one.
She's a bowler!
She wears sensible shoes.

DL & DR (Dyke to the Left, Dyke to the Right)

Egotsos, from Israel... She's like that.

Here's the non-verbal, the non-verbal.
