Refrain
Chorus
Gente fina - outra coisa
Gente fina - outra coisa
Distingué - c'est une autre chose
Distinguished - that's another thing
Gente coisa - outra fina
Gente coisa - ultra fina
Tu le vis ou tu l'imagines
You live it or you imagine it
Ma chanson fait le tour de la favela ou d'une tour
My song goes round the favela or a tower
Se méfie du serpent - monétaire - évidemment
Beware of the snake - monetary - obviously
Tu rêvais d'abolir les frontières
You dreamed of abolishing borders
La musique devenait planétaire
The music became planetary
Mais la violence a ses clients
But violence has its customers
Pris dans la machine - où sont tes rêves - tes évasions
Caught in the machine - where are your dreams - your escapes
Oh n'oublie jamais d'ensoleiller les imaginations.
Oh never forget to brighten the imaginations.
Refrain (X2)
Chorus (X2)
Dans les rues de la ville chantent des foules indociles
In the streets of the city rebellious crowds sing
Mais la main du pouvoir se serre dans le velours noir
But the hand of power tightens in the black velvet
Tu ferais mieux de t'occuper de tes affaires
You better mind your own business
Dérisoire - ton pamphlet planétaire
Derisory - your planetary pamphlet
Mais la violence a ses clients
But violence has its customers
Pris dans la machine - où sont tes rêves - tes évasions
Caught in the machine - where are your dreams - your escapes
Oh n'oublie jamais d'ensoleiller les imaginations.
Oh never forget to brighten the imaginations.
Refrain
Chorus
