Ferme les yeux et imagine-toi [English translation]

Refrain (Blacko) :

that only happens to other people, we dont realise that it's there until we live that too

we know very well what is happening in another places but we dont care

put yourself into perspective and imagine yourself

you will see that way that your life is great

Soprano :

close your eyes and imagine your life

in a conuntry where the politicians are in TREHIS*

where freedom of experssing is a conspiration

where dollars live with canons

where we can live because of a simple fever

where the epidemis walk without stop

do you really think that u can stand under the scorching heat

of that countries in where u got tanned in 2 months

they burn all the year

imagine your life without drinkable water

a shower when it rains

no food on the table

imagine yourself in an hopital

with an incurable desease

a desease that you JUGES* guilty

imagine yourself as natash kampusch

or burned as mama galledou in a bus

open your eyes now

and before slur your life, think from now to the future

Refrain (Blacko) :

Ca n’arrive qu’aux autres on n’réalise pas tant que ca ne nous touche pas

On sait trés bien c’qu’y s’passe ailleurs mais on ose se pleindre

Relativise ferme les yeux imagine toi

Tu verras comme ta vie est belle

Blacko :

close your eyes and imagine yourself somewhere in africa

in a village built in a floor of lead

imagine the hot air, like a desert

that slim flock of sheeps (a little kid and his staff)

imagine that long walking that you must do

with the aim that your animals could pasture and get fresh

that 30 landmarks to do, that stolers of cattles and theis kalachnikovs that shout without thinking

imagine Madagascar and it's mountains of rubbish

imagine that u have 8years old and without shoes

imagine your hands into the rubbish

looking for a piece of bread , but u get use to it

imagine paris and it's periperal

in aplace under a bridge, not far from the traffic

imagine yourself under a dirty sleeping bag

fighting against the cold, fighting against the paving stone

now imagine yourself,in your car, in a traffic jam

the man leaves slowly his covered place, the man has your visage

tell me what u look like, do u look at it otherwise?

before sluring your life think, from now to the future

Refrain (Blacko) :

Ca n’arrive qu’aux autres on n’réalise pas tant que ca ne nous touche pas

On sait trés bien c’qu’y s’passe ailleurs mais on ose se pleindre

Relativise ferme les yeux imagine toi

Tu verras comme ta vie est belle

Soprano :

karl, imagine yourself without the music, the health going bad by the 3-8

the comes and gones at the assedic

Blacko :

said imaginge oyurself without that succes, in the gallery, only the smic

prisoner of that tour of brick

Soprano :

me, what i have without snip'a

me, without psy4 and theis good moments that others dont know

Blacko :

imagine our lifes without all that

tha's why we thank god for all this

excuse me the days i complain

the days that i only see myself, my nose and no more farer than that

Soprano :

excuse me for the days in wich i have done bigger my problems (exagerating)

for all that times in which i have the world turn round me

Blacko :

close your eyes just a second

do u see the poverty of the world

and your place in all that?

Soprano :

let's realise of the luck we have

and maybe you will see that the life is good

Blacko : Blackoooo , Sopranooooo

Refrain (Blacko) (X2) :

Ca n’arrive qu’aux autres on n’réalise pas tant que ca ne nous touche pas

On sait trés bien c’qu’y s’passe ailleurs mais on ose se pleindre

Relativise ferme les yeux imagine toi

(Soprano)Tu verras comme ta vie est belle
