Costole rotte [English translation]

[Hook]

Broken ribs, broken bottles

This night it will ring

A police siren

The ambulance will be late

How hot it is in the midst of the hits

Of the police station

Someone won't sleep

Someone else will go away

[Verse 1]

A man screams in a street

Smoke sellers

Maybe he lost his way

And he has no map

He want to make a bomb

And for sure he'll light it

It will be good to him, it will be good to him

For sure no it won't blow up

Eh no, eh no

For sure no it won't blow up

Eh no, eh no

[Hook]

Broken ribs, broken bottles

This night it will ring

A police siren

The ambulance will be late

How hot it is in the midst of the hits

Of the police station

Someone won't sleep

Someone else will go away

[Verse 2]

A man in a uniform goes out

Maybe he'll come back soon

Maybe that uniform

Divides him from the rest

He'll get on the police car

Who knows where it'll take him

To do good, to do harm

But for sure it won't fly

Eh no, eh no

But for sure it won't fly

Eh no, eh no

[Hook]

Broken ribs, broken bottles

This night it will ring

A police siren

The ambulance will be late

How hot it is in the midst of the hits

Of the police station

Someone won't sleep

Someone else will go away

[Verse 3]

While he looks for his friends

While he looks for his relatives

He doesn't have his clothes anymore

He looks for hi teeth on the ground

But the bomb blew up

Who'll collect the pieces?

If who should pay won't pay

And maybe will fly free

Yes he will, yes he will

Maybe he will fly free

Yes he will, yes he will

[Hook] (x2)

Broken ribs, broken bottles

This night it will ring

A police siren

The ambulance will be late

How hot it is in the midst of the hits

Of the police station

Someone won't sleep

Someone else will go away
