Armand Est Mort Lyrics in English MC Solaar
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Armand Est Mort by MC Solaar from French to English.
Fait divers en plein été
News item in the middle of summer
De galère en galère Armand s'est retrouvé clochard
From trouble to trouble, Armand found himself homeless
Pourtant depuis tant d'années
Yet for so many years
Son job perdu, il avait recherché
His job lost, he had searched
Abandonné de sa femme et de son chien Albert
Abandoned by his wife and his dog Albert
Mort lors d'une dispute d'un coup de revolver
Died during an argument from a gunshot
Et dans le quartier, révolté, rebelle de dernière heure
And in the neighborhood, revolted, last-minute rebel
La quarantaine dépassée, il est seul et il pleure
Over forty, he is alone and he cries
Il est trop tard pour s'intéresser à son triste sort
It's too late to care about his sad fate
Armand est mort
Armand is dead
Armand est mort
Armand is dead
Pourtant dix ans auparavant devant ses enfants
Yet ten years earlier in front of his children
Leur enseignant l'amour et le respect des parents
Teaching them love and respect for parents
La haine de l'avarice dans ce monde dément
The hatred of greed in this insane world
Armand passait du bon temps
Armand was having a good time
Accident du travail, quelques indemnités
Work accident, some compensation
Il retrouve un emploi puis est licencié
He finds a job then is laid off
Invité au mariage de sa femme, Armand
Invited to his wife's wedding, Armand
Perd au tribunal la garde des enfants
Loses custody of the children in court
Il est trop tard pour s'intéresser à son triste sort
It's too late to care about his sad fate
Armand est mort
Armand is dead
Armand est mort
Armand is dead
Avant sa fin, il habitait une belle propriété
Before his end, he lived in a beautiful property
Avec vue sur la mort, un asile de paumés
With a view of death, a haven for the lost
Avant sa fin, avant sa mort, il en fut délivré
Before his end, before his death, he was freed from it
Laminé, décervelé, lobotomisé
Crushed, brainwashed, lobotomized
Il est trop tard pour s'intéresser à son triste sort
It's too late to care about his sad fate
Le pauvre Armand est mort
Poor Armand is dead
Armand est mort
Armand is dead
