These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Main dans la poche de son costard, la lame
Hand in his suit pocket, the blade
Fait les cent pas sur le trottoir, la lame
Paced the sidewalk, the blade
C'est un voyou, c'est un héros, la lame
He's a thug, he's a hero, the blade
C'est une star, c'est lui Pierrot la lame
He's a star, he's Pierrot the blade
Au Sud du Bronx moitié cramé, engraisse
South of the Bronx half burned, fatten
Un Manhattan riche à crever, on perce
A rich Manhattan to burst, we pierce
Tu penses qu'à ça depuis qu't'es né, encaisse
You only think about that since you were born, take it
Ce qu'ils n'ont pas voulu te donner, correct
What they didn't want to give you, correct
Que le mec soit blanc, noir ou bronzé, la lame
Whether the guy is white, black or tan, the blade
Tu vois que la couleur des billets, la lame
You see that the color of the banknotes, the blade
T'as des réflexes et pas de quartier, la lame
You have reflexes and no quarter, the blade
T'as la vitesse mais faut durer, la lame
You have the speed but you have to last, the blade
Je regarde partir dans la fumée, la lame
I watch go in the smoke, the blade
Souliers cirés dans ce merdier, infâme
Shiny shoes in this mess, infamous
La série noire pour la photo réclame
The black series for the photo claims
C'est pas Bogart, c'est bien Pierrot la lame
It's not Bogart, it's Pierrot the blade
