Laissez-les kouma [English translation]

[MHD]

Let them kouma1!

[ZAHO]

He or she said "The news isn't good"

"I would tell it only to you, don't tell it to anyone"

He or she said "I believe that there has been some misdealing"

"It would truly astonish me that someone forgives him"

I hear noises of distant corridors which resonate

Whether it be true or false, everyone's making a big deal of it

And if the friend to all is the friend to none

Leave me in my corner, here the ambiance is good

No, you have no idea

(That's crazy2)

Why put it in words

(That's crazy)

The ambiance is approved

(That's crazy)

The land marked out

(That's crazy)

Let them talk-alk-alk-alk-alk

Tomorrow they'll have forgotten-en-en-en-en-en-en

What you talking about? Of my life, you know nada

You're of those people who seriously fib

It's true that you're nice, but you're not reliable

Even more false than the guy who has no flaws

"So-and-so and what's-his-name are together, it's true"

It's the liar in the corner who reports that

He's won the lotto and forgotten his fam3

When joy comes closer, the jealous leave

You left her according to what you say

She left you according what she, she says

Each has his justification

Everyone talks, but each has his own version

Let them believe

Let them prattle

You're no hypocrite

We climb the levels

Take me away from worries, I'm tired

I don't have their time

I want to enjoy myself

[ZAHO]

No, you have no idea

(That's crazy)

Why put it in words

(That's crazy)

The ambiance is approved
