These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Deux tziganes, sans répit, grattent leurs guitares
Two gypsies, without respite, strum their guitars
Ranimant du fond des nuits toute ma mémoire
Reviving from the depths of the nights all my memory
Sans savoir que roule en moi un flot de détresse
Without knowing that a wave of distress is rolling in me
Font renaître sous leurs doigts ma folle jeunesse
Revive under their fingers my mad youth
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is chê mênaga mênaga raz
Is chê ménaga mênaga raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is cho mênaga mênaga raz
Is cho ménaga ménaga raz
Jouez tziganes, jouez pour moi avec vos deux flammes
Play gypsies, play for me with your two flames
Afin de couvrir la voix qui dit à mon âme
To drown out the voice that says to my soul
Où as-tu mal? Pourquoi as-tu mal, ah?
Where does it hurt? Why do you hurt, ah?
T'as mal à la tête mais
you have a headache but
Bois un peu moins aujourd'hui
Drink a little less today
Tu boiras plus demain
You will drink more tomorrow
Et encore plus après demain
And even more after tomorrow
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is chê mênaga mênaga raz
Is chê ménaga mênaga raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is cho mênaga mênaga raz
Is cho ménaga ménaga raz
Je veux rire, je veux chanter
I want to laugh, I want to sing
Et saouler ma peine
And sap my pain
Pour oublier le passé qu'avec moi je traîne
To forget the past that I drag with me
Allez, apportez-moi du vin fort
Come on, bring me some strong wine
Car le vin délivre
Because wine delivers
Oh, versez, versez m'en encore
Oh, pour, pour me some more
Pour que je m'enivre
For me to get drunk
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is chê mênaga mênaga raz
Is chê ménaga mênaga raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is cho mênaga mênaga raz
Is cho ménaga ménaga raz
Deux guitares en ma pensée jettent un trouble immense
Two guitars in my mind cause immense trouble
M'expliquant la vanité de notre existence
Explaining to me the vanity of our existence
Que vivons nous? Pourquoi vivons nous?
What are we living? Why do we live?
Quelle est la raison d'être?
What is the rationale?
Tu es vivant aujourd'hui, tu seras mort demain
You're alive today, you'll be dead tomorrow
Et encore plus après demain
And even more after tomorrow
La la la ekh
La la la ekh
Enê is chê, is chê, is chê mênaga mênaga mênaga eh
Enê is chê, is chê, is chê mênaga mênaga mênaga eh
Enê is chê raz, chê mênaga mênaga raz
Enê is chê raz, chê mênaga mênaga raz
Quand je serais ivre mort
When I'm dead drunk
Faible et lamentable
Weak and lamentable
Et que vous verrez mon corps rouler sous la table, alors
And you'll see my body rolling under the table, so
Alors vous pourrez cesser vos chants qui résonnent
So you can stop your resounding songs
Mais en attendant, jouez
But in the meantime, play
Jouez j'ordonne
Play I order
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is chê mênaga mênaga raz
Is chê ménaga mênaga raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is cho mênaga mênaga raz
Is cho ménaga ménaga raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is chê mênaga mênaga raz
Is chê ménaga mênaga raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is cho mênaga mênaga raz
Is cho ménaga ménaga raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is chê mênaga mênaga raz
Is chê ménaga mênaga raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is cho mênaga mênaga raz
Is cho ménaga ménaga raz
