Inch'allah [English translation]

Everythings begins at the airport,

Reception of girl who wanted a change of scenery

At first he was showing a long face,

But he got all excited when he glanced at her body

Who knows ? Window-shopping, at the mall of Bel Epine

He's sweating like hell everytime she calls him "darling"

Beautiful! She's beautiful, she's fit, and Italy

Called her Bella

Bellissima Belladonna

Her mama called her Donna

Then in the living-room he wants to get his freak on

But his girlfriend arrives, her eyes like dum-dum bullets

He stu-stutters and says : "baby, don't know who that is !"

A liar is never believed even when he speaks the truth.

But what did she do,

tell me what did she do ? x2

What, you don't know ? (No, I don't)

Well it's simple, she sang this :

CHORUS

Put your hands up, and dance with me

In jeans, shorts or Djellabah

As they say over there,*

Baby, Inch'Allah !

x2

Baby, listen to this!

Second story, taking place at night

Subway station : Liberté, and look at the sidewalk

The guy sees the chick, on her head she's got the bandana

Worn by Puerto Ricans during the summer '83

"What do you do for a living ?"

She answer "I'm a call girl.

I collect euros with my pretty face

I'm here for the pretty boys that don't want to be alone,

this is how I live in this urban jungle."

He says "I ain't got money, but quit your job

I love your eyes, you better be careful

Give me your hand I'll lead you to the mayor

When you say 'I do', friends will throw some rice"

the Pin-Up gets up, and speaks briefly

To the guy she screams : "You mus' be kiddin'" and puts on lipstick

"I'd be happy to live with you... because you love me and that's the way it is."

CHORUS

When I look at what's happening around me

I see that hatred goes away when love comes along.

I wish war gave way to peace

And Pacifists replaced warriors

That love was hurled in headquarters

That the law of the strongest was forbidden

Criminal court for sectarians

Cause [in the name of the] Son of God our Father, we're all brothers.

CHORUS
