Avec le Sourire [English translation]

Yeah yeah yeah

On my mother's head

Ouohouoh

Yeah eh eh

Aïe, po po po

It's pointless to run

I sing misery with a smile

We go from laughter to tears

Enveloped in the flames

Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily

It's pointless to run

I sing misery with a smile

We go from laughter to tears

Enveloped in the flames

Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily

God Bless my brothers and my sisters

Always a smile which never bends, doesn't break

We rock to much back and forth with Sarko and Carla

Meanwhile Africa bleeds of a bright red blood (Yeah eh eh)

We live in a dirty time

It bleeds in the four corners of the world

So I raise my glass

To the health of the Earth, my God the world suffers

On my mother's head

My brothers worth gold, my sisters worth gold

They view us like pieces of meat, it rains shells outside

Liberty a treasure, reggae in the government

A fist raised in the air

Proud like Bob says: "One love"1

It's pointless to run

I sing misery with a smile

We go from laughter to tears

Enveloped in the flames

Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily

It's pointless to run

I sing misery with a smile

We go from laughter to tears

Enveloped in the flames

Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

I ask 3 minutes of reggae

For the brothers who have vanished, for the youth of the world

Who protest in the street

The fight continues and it is announced to be terrible

The devil charms us and takes the form of Katy Perry

Like this is killed a brother who sings reggae (Ah man, Ah man)

This is for the brothers who have been emprisoned, from Marseille to Panama

The Earth trembles

Could be the tectonic plates

Could be the punishment for having oppressed my black brothers

Oh Marine, we'll have your skin

We'll form one harmony, one body, one flag

Message from lower France for upper France

Oh oh...ooooo

It's pointless to run

I sing misery with a smile

We go from laughter to tears

Enveloped in the flames

Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily

It's pointless to run

I sing misery with a smile

We go from laughter to tears

Enveloped in the flames

Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

It's pointless to run

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

Yeah eheh ouho oh oh

It's pointless to run
