Les deux guitares [English translation]

Two gypsies without taking a break

are scratching on their guitars

From the depth of nights they revive

All my memories

Without knowing there's inside me

A big flood of distress

They bring back with their fingers

My youth of craziness

Hey, once again, play it once again

Again and again and again and again

Play it again

Play gypsies, play for me

With more passion than that

To drown out the voice

That speaks to my soul

Where are you hurt, why are you hurt ?

Ah you have a headache

But drink less today, you'll drink more tomorrow

And even more the day after tomorrow

Hey, once again, play it once again

Again and again and again and again

Play it again

I want to laugh and sing

And drink to cover my pain

To forget the past

That I'm carrying

Come on, bring me strong wine

Because the wine releases me

Oh, pour it, give me even more

So that I can get drunk

Hey, once again, play it once again

Again and again and again and again

Play it again

Two guitars throw in my thoughts

An infinite distress

As explaining the vanity

of our existence

What are we living, why do we even live ?

What is the reason to be alive ?

You live today, tomorrow you'll be dead

And even more dead the day after tomorrow

Hey, once again, play it once again

Again and again and again and again

Play it again

When I'll be dead drunk

Weak and pathetic

And that you'll see my body

Rolling down under the table

So then, then you can stop

Your resonating songs

But until that keep playing !

Play, it's my order

Hey, once again, play it once again

Again and again and again and again

Play it again
