Je vous parle de ces corps
I'm talking about these bodies
Qui jaillissent et que la mer a rejeté
That spring and that the sea has rejected
Ceux qui ont failli reviennent en larmes et menottés
Those who almost came back in tears and handcuffed
Pourquoi j'ai pas les mêmes chances
Why I don't have the same chances
La vie m'a pas fait d'cadeaux
Life didn't give me gifts
L'Italie ou la France
Italy or France
J'm'en fous j'veux l'Eldorado
I don't care I want the Eldorado
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
J'vais à la rencontre de mon destin
I'm going to meet my destiny
Les pieds glacés, le ventre noué
The icy feet, the knotted belly
Pas d'inquiétude en cas de pépin
No worries in case of a glitch
Oui j'ai confectionné ma bouée
Yes I made my buoy
Comme beaucoup des jeunes Africains
Like many young Africans
J'ai pas d'taf même si j'suis doué
I don't have a job even though I'm good at
Obligé d'aller chercher mon pain
Forced to fetch my bread
Pardon mon Dieu si j'dois échouer
Forgive God if I have to fail
J'repense à Casa, à Papa, Mama
I think back to Casa, Dad, Mama
Dîner en famille devant la télé
Family dinner in front of the TV
Claquette Kappa, ballon Mikasa
Kappa Claquette, Mikasa Balloon
Et tout d'un coup j'me prends pour Pelé
And all of a sudden I think I'm Pelé
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Ce n'est pas moi qui choisit le destin
It is not me who chooses fate
La Terre entière est ma maison
The whole Earth is my home
Je vais pas m'contenter du festin
I'm not going to settle for the feast
À la fin je prends même ton blouson
At the end I even take your jacket
Pourquoi vouloir oppresser les miens
Why would you want to oppress mine?
Vos cœurs sont froids comme vos saisons
Your hearts are as cold as your seasons
Chacun veut protéger les siens
Everyone wants to protect their own
En oubliant Lampedusa
Forgetting Lampedusa
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Ce n'est pas le nom d'une combinaison
This is not the name of a combination
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Lampedusa, Lampedusa
Tu vis ta vie sans même avoir d'raison
You live your life without even having a reason
