Sonnez tocsin dans les campagnes [English translation]
Sonnez tocsin dans les campagnes [English translation]
Toll the tocsins in the country
Forward march, comrades
Delves of spade and outlooks
Between the sky and the cement
Cocktails in cars
Special forces in a round dance
Certainly no one will go to paradise
Besides those who burn in alcohol
Our safe alleys
Seem like graveyards
Viruses rioting on the hemispheres
And iPhones stuck in the sphincter
Our alcoves are satellite-controlled
Who am I between the virgins
Lead me to the storm
The brakes failed on the hillside
Toll the tocsins in the country
Forward march, comrades
Between illusory ballots
And the screams from the shambles
For here they fear everything
Mayflies over the great lakes
Once this land was a fire of cultures
Sleeping pills against anger
You need band-aids for misery
The young were nursed at the breast
Of the dictatorships of our needs
Of the rulers' cynism
Because the good people is content
Because they cry for police in all directions
Especially to protect the money
Spring to arms, citizen of tears
What can I say except from that it's time
To free the horizons
From our military array
Ahead of us lies the future
For something better within reach of our fists
And spring under snowflakes
There's hope in our songs
So let's march to the great road
Under burnt out shadows
To make the sulfur content rise
In the channels of the nice quarters
In the fairy tales for my kids
The loneliness is on pain killers
and carbon in shipwrecks,
The oil tankers are looking for the beach
In the fairy tales for my kids
The loneliness is on pain killers
And the police in the paradise
Of a world dying on credit
To the lambs slaughtered in the distance
To the remote chant of the cock
At the edge of the vast cornfields
My country is rising its fist
Urged to the skirts of the forest
The little thumbling asks himself why
His parents abandoned him
In the fierce wind of the communicating
The time of the scholars is up
As is the time of the popular
The time of the litterateurs is up
The Latin roots are finished
Under the good pretext of our origins
The holy paroles are over
It's over with the neither-good-god-nor-master
The chant of the nightingale is over
Forgotten the time of the lilies of the valley
It's over with the hail-my-brother
Welcome, paradisiac times
On the bank accounts
Welcome, paradisiac times
On the bank accounts
Spring to arms, citizen of tears (x4)
Spring to arms, citizen of tears
What can I say except from that it's time
To free the horizons
From our military array
Ahead of us lies the future
For something better within reach of our fists
And spring under snowflakes
There's hope in our songs
So let's march to the great road
Under burnt out shadows
To make the sulfur content rise
In the channels of the nice quarters
In the fairy tales for my kids
The loneliness is on pain killers
And carbon In the shipwrecks
The oil tankers are looking for the beach
