Disparu depuis des années
Disappeared for years
Comme un filon dans la faille
Like a vein in the fault
Comme un manuscrit oublié
Like a forgotten manuscript
Ils ont retrouvé le travail
They found work
Il faut que tu bosses lorsque le jour se lève
You have to work when the day breaks
Bosse, on attend la relève
Bosse, we are waiting for the next generation
Bosse, la montée de la fièvre
Bump, the rise of fever
Bosse, il faut que tu bosses
Work, you have to work
Il faut que tu bosses pour conjurer le sort
You have to work to ward off the spell
Bosse, sous la terre, dans les ports
Hump, underground, in harbors
Bosse, pour dépasser la mort
Bump, to overcome death
Bosse, il faut que tu bosses
Work, you have to work
Aujourd'hui c'est un privilège
Today is a privilege
Mais ca ne me dit rien qui vaille
But that doesn't mean anything to me
C'est une idée au fond d'un piège
It's an idea at the bottom of a trap
Ils ont séquestré le travail
They sequestered the work
Il faut que tu bosses, bosse
You have to work, work
Il faut que tu bosses ton sourire carnassier
You have to work on your carnivorous smile
Bosse, totalement surbooké
Bump, totally overbooked
Bosse, les réseaux d'initiés, bosse
Bump, insider networks, bump
T'étais vraiment un employé
You were really an employee
Modèle parfait pour la médaille
Perfect model for the medal
Multinationales ont filé
Multinationals have spun
Ils ont revendu ton travail
They sold your work
Il faut que tu bosses pour la survie, le cash
You have to work for survival, cash
Bosse, pour faire partie du staff
Hump, to be part of the staff
Bosse pour les bimbos, le strass
Bump for the bimbos, the rhinestones
Bosse
Bump
Faudra que tu bosses
You will have to work
Et quand viendra la fin
And when the end comes
Bosse, allongé dans le sapin
Bump, lying in the fir tree
Bosse t'auras plus besoin de rien
Boss you won't need anything anymore
Bosse, bosse
bump, bump
