Manhattan-Kaboul [English translation]

[Renaud]

Little Puerto Rican, well integrated, almost New Yorker

In my all steel and glass skyscraper

I'm going for work, having a line of coke and a coffee

[Axelle Red]

Little afghan girl, on the other side of the earth

Never heard about Manhattan

My daily life, it's misery and war

[Chorus]

[R] Two strangers at world's end, so different

[AR] Two unknown, two anonymous, and yet

[together] Crushed on the altar of eternal violence

[R] A 747 got exploded in my windows

[AR] My so much blue sky became thunderstorm

When bombs razed my village

[Chorus]

[R] So long, farewell my American dream

[AR] As for me, I won't never be slave of these dogs again

[R] They were imposing you the Islam of tyrants

[together] Have they ever read the Koran ?

[Renaud]

(I) Came back to dust

I won't be master of the universe

This country I loved so much would finally be a giant with feet of clay ?

[Axelle Red]

Gods, religions

Civilisations wars

Weapons, flags, patries, nations

Always make us cannon fodder

[Chorus x2]
