Eh Connard [English translation]

Do you remember when you said that I was one of these kids who would never get out of it alone, restless and far too fierce.

Who spoiled your (youth)center, except if you’de obey slavishly

Who got only ashes and an urge to live fast and furious.

Do you remember when you said that I wouldn’t reach 16 years old and that I would end dead in a corer of the street.

Where would rest the soul of a lost child who didn’t give a damn

Or a future in a cell behind the bars or at the madhouse

Hey bastard, do you remember when you thought that I was only good to run away, play the fool or get high.

The example not to follow, the one that the laws hated, pointed at, the one who stopped school at 12

Do you remember when taked about me, you never used the future tense.

Bugger ! sometimes I was sick of it

All this bloody rubbish, but look, and don’t be sick I am alive and I don’t regret for never having listening to you.

Refrain : (chrus)

Hey bastard, you’re the one I’m talking to, tell me do you recognize yourself ?

Director of center and educational institute

Hey, let me laugh, Mister know-all and above all makes everything to destroy kid’s life our parents hopes.

Bastard, no one can pretend tomorrow

Hey bastard, you’re the one I’m talking to

And I forgot nothing, no matter, none of your dirty tricks, your nice talks which at the end have detroyed the tiny hope remaining when you say that there’s no more of it.

But me, I dont’s give a f**k, I never listen to you, but my mother, she believed you.

Do you remember when you told her that my case was desparate and that I was not able to follow the right way. It went : we cannot save this hooligan, Madam, you have do with it !

But what did you believe, that you could save me, you and your Lucifer ?

What dis you believed, that brats are helped by breaking in ?

But all your institutions take you to the end, got the message ?

C'est par la force que ça se passe, c'est que t'es toujours aussi insensé It’s by the force that it goes through, it means that you’re always that mad

Hey bastard, to make us gentle, what was your methods ?

Oh yeah, put kids on dope stuffing their head with pills

Hey bastard, too easy to make gulp neuroleptics to young rascals turned into vegtable by you chemical staitjacket

Hey bastard, what were we for you ?

Just bad lot ? that you would crush just to have nothing growing

With deceit, second period, revenge era, you can keep on praying you devil that no on of us take his revenge

chorus

Do you remember when you commanded, with your malicious intent, the educators not to give me a second chance

In fear I might go away, what do you have ?

YOu believed that I’d let myself die in your pen or wait that someone come and rescue me

Man, what did you beleive ? that we can cure a fire with alcohol

Obey slavishly, f**ck with you alcohol injections

Cos you din not have the right and you knew that, actaully, I could sue you and get you into the court for your skirmisher methods

But well, it’s not in my principles

The wheel will turn too and you will remember, that day, me and the other little restless

Because there is a justce up above, more faire than your system, and we always finish to pay the effect of our acts

Hey bastard, hey bastard, you’re the one I’m talkin to, do you recognize yourself ?

Refrain : (chorus)

Hey bastard, you’re the one I’m talking to, tell me, do you recognize yourself ?

Child and Educational center’ director, hey, let me laugh !!

I don’t regret never having listin to you (hey bastard, bastard, tell me, do you recognize yourself)

I don’t regret (no no no) for never having listening to you… Hey child and educational center’ director… motherf**er, the wheel is turing, bastard.
