Au nom du père et du fils, j'ai vu la haine et le vice
In the name of the father and the son, I've seen hate and vice
J'pourrais pas changer la Terre mais j'mets ma pierre à l'édifice
I couldn't change the Earth but I'm doing my part
On tisse et on défait les liens, y a des valeurs auxquelles je tiens
We weave and unweave ties, there are values I hold dear
J'pense aux enfants du monde et j'pense aux enfants des miens
I think of the world's children and I think of my own children
Y a plusieurs toi à double face, yo
There are many two-faced yous, yo
On s'parle plus trop, on s'double-tap
We don't talk much anymore, we double-tap
On survit pour le cash, quand il se cache, on se fâche
We survive for cash, when it hides, we get mad
J'veux pas qu'le temps me casse la figure
I don't want time to beat me up
J'veux pas qu'le temps me fasse la piqûre
I don't want time to give me the shot
La vie tue et l'habitude parfois nous mène la vie dure
Life kills and habit sometimes makes life hard for us
Viens, prend un sac, on s'barre d'ici, le monde nous oppresse
Come, grab a bag, let's get out of here, the world oppresses us
On s'contentera du nécessaire, d'amour et d'eau fraîche
We'll settle for the essentials, for love and fresh water
Un peu de tendresse, viens on s'barre le temps presse
A little tenderness, come on, let's go, time is pressing
J'ai besoin de la clé, pour refermer la plaie
I need the key, to close the wound
Les meufs, c'est pas comme autrefois
Girls aren't like before
Té-ma c'qu'elles nous laissent entrevoir
Look what they let us glimpse
Attends, tu sais qu'des femmes sont mortes
Wait, do you know that women died
Pour que tu prennes une autre voie?
For you to take another path?
Nan, franchement, c'est n'importe quoi, parfois ce monde me désole
No, honestly, it's nonsense, sometimes this world saddens me
La misère, le désordre, chérie viens, on s'en va loin des Hommes
Misery, disorder, darling come, let's go far from men
J'sais pas de quoi est fait demain, j'sais pas quoi faire de mes mains
I don't know what tomorrow is made of, I don't know what to do with my hands
J'sais pas quoi faire de mon bif mais fais gaffe où tu mets ton pif
I don't know what to do with my money but be careful where you put your nose
Une tasse de thé puis un zder, j'vois la face cachée de l'iceberg
A cup of tea then a joint, I see the hidden face of the iceberg
Les idées d'l'Homme ont rétréci, réveille-toi, réfléchis
Man's ideas have shrunk, wake up, think
Viens, prend un sac, on s'barre d'ici, le monde nous oppresse
Come, grab a bag, let's get out of here, the world oppresses us
On s'contentera du nécessaire, d'amour et d'eau fraîche
We'll settle for the essentials, for love and fresh water
Un peu de tendresse, viens on s'barre le temps presse
A little tenderness, come on, let's go, time is pressing
J'ai besoin de la clé, pour refermer la plaie
I need the key, to close the wound
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Mon cœur n'est pas rose, il est noir
My heart isn't pink, it's black
Et dans l'noir, j'allume un spliff sous ma lueur d'espoir
And in the dark, I light a spliff under my glimmer of hope
C'est toujours la même histoire, j'inspire, j'oublie c'qui m'entoure
It's always the same story, I inhale, I forget what surrounds me
La vie ou la mort, c'est la même, c'est chacun son tour, yo
Life or death, it's the same, it's everyone's turn, yo
La vie, c'est des hauts et des bas donc j'cherche son sens, han
Life is ups and downs so I'm looking for its meaning, han
Le paradis, paraît-il, s'rait la récompense, han yeah
Paradise, it seems, would be the reward, han yeah
Entre Dieu et le diable, le bien et le mal, les sourires, j'ai les larmes
Between God and the devil, good and evil, smiles, I have tears
L'amour et la haine, le propre et le sale
Love and hate, the clean and the dirty
On n'sait plus sur quel pied on danse
We don't know what to do anymore
J'rêve de m'envoler quand j'ferme les yeux
I dream of flying away when I close my eyes
Ici-bas, plus rien n'est merveilleux
Down here, nothing is wonderful anymore
À g'noux devant Dieu, regard vers les cieux
On my knees before God, gaze towards the heavens
J'ai le cafard, la vie, c'est la vie, c'est quoi?
I'm down, life, it's life, what is it?
La vie, c'est la vie, c'est des choix
Life, it's life, it's choices
Entre les peines et les joies, des chemins, des sentiers, des voies
Between sorrows and joys, paths, trails, ways
Et même si au fond, j'ai la foi, c'est de trop loin que je vois
And even if deep down, I have faith, it's from too far away that I see
Le ciel est beaucoup trop grand, j'tiens pas l'futur entre mes doigts
The sky is much too big, I don't hold the future in my hands
