Ses doigts longs et rapides couraient sur sa guitare
His long, quick fingers ran over his guitar
Ses riffs comme des fluides transperçaient le brouillard
His riffs like fluids pierced the fog
Puis la lumière dorée du soleil de Negril
Then the golden light of the Negril sun
Planait sur la fumée en petites notes agiles
Hovered over the smoke in nimble little notes
Ses textes étaient précis et bourrés d'humour noir
His texts were precise and full of black humor
C'était donc mon ami depuis ce fameux soir
So he was my friend since that famous evening

I do it for me, to give you my soul

J'étais noir, moi aussi, mais pour d'autres raisons

J'avais passé dix ans à dormir en prison

C'était une drôle d'affaire pleine de coups d'escopette

De transporteurs, de fonds et puis de grosse galettes
Carriers, funds and then big cakes
Oh, melody, melody, oh, yeah

Police did not like my sarcastic lyrics

Bye-bye, big money et fini la musique
Bye-bye, big money and the music is over
