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
Minor headline in the heat of summer
De galère en galère Armand s'est retrouvé clochard
From scrape to scrape Armand ended up homeless
Pourtant depuis tant d'années
Yet for so many years
Son job perdu, il avait recherché
Job gone, he kept searching
Abandonné de sa femme et de son chien Albert
Left by his wife, then his dog Albert
Mort lors d'une dispute d'un coup de revolver
Shot dead in a quarrel by a revolver blast
Et dans le quartier, révolté, rebelle de dernière heure
And in the hood, outraged, a last-second rebel
La quarantaine dépassée, il est seul et il pleure
Past forty, he's alone and he's crying
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 kids
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
And hatred of greed in this crazy world
Armand passait du bon temps
Armand was enjoying life
Accident du travail, quelques indemnités
Work accident, some compensation
Il retrouve un emploi puis est licencié
He lands a job then gets canned
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 kids 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 the end he lived in a nice estate
Avec vue sur la mort, un asile de paumés
Overlooking death, an asylum for the lost
Avant sa fin, avant sa mort, il en fut délivré
Before the end, before death, he was freed from it
Laminé, décervelé, lobotomisé
Flattened, de-brained, 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
