Triviale Poursuite [English translation]

First a question about history :

Where's the Palestine ?

Under which starry boot ?

Behind which barbed wires ?

Into which fields of ruins ?

Again a question about history :

How many victims ?

How many thousands of children

Into the rubble of the camps

Will become soldiers ?

A question about geography now

Where is the Canaquie ?

How many cops and soldiers

To occupy Nouméa ?

To shoot Eloi ?

How many small white ones

How many arrogant settlers

Are splitting the land between them

And how many miseries

For the Kanak people ?

How many truncheon blows ?

A question about sport

Who will held the record

Of the longest time living

Free and innocent

Behind prison bars ?

20 years for Otelo

As much for Mandela

And how many outlaws

Among those dirty useless judges

Of which the bastards are made

I don't know , I'm giving my tongue to sorrow

If you know , whisper it to me

A question about science and nature

Where to dumb these garbages ?

To the Vologne !

These dogs who are assassinating

These rats that are imprisoning

A question about literature

Who had written that men

Are born free and equal ?

Freedom yes , but into a herd

Equals when facing the executioners

I don't know , I'm giving my tongue to sorrow

If you know , whisper it to me

Suffer me

Suffer me
