L'opportuniste [English translation]

I am for Communism

I am for socialism

And for capitalism

Because I'm an opportunist

(chorus)

There are those challenge

That claim and protest

Me I do a single gesture

I turn my jacket

I turn my jacket

Always on the right side

I'm not afraid profiteers

Nor agitators

I trust the voters

And I use this to make profit

(chorus)

I am of all parties

I'm all the homelands

I'm all coteries

I'm the king of the converted

(chorus)

I shout out long live the revolution

I shout out long live the institutions

I shout out long live the demonstrations

I shout out long live the collaborations

No I never disputed

Neither claim nor protest

I only know one single gesture

That of turning my jacket

To turn my jacket

Always on the right side

I turned it so much

It crunches on all sides

At the next revolution

I turn my pants
