À la claire fontaine [English translation]

Subtle and versatile like the tranquil reptile

Enter in the rythm like one penetrates an easy woman

Present in spite of the weather like the tune of the time by Nina Ricci

And in better shape than Victor Pecci

Sane mind in a sane, "up to date" body

The quest for knowledge and him actually form

An intrinsic fact

Everything happens like by a sleight of hand

For the hip hop philanthropist

But do notice that his chat may be an "armlock"

East or West the plague infests still there are the antidote rhymes

Which drive me away from the "Stupids on the block"

The board has worn them and leaves them in their "alse"

And just like the cold or trade wind

Wears their silly, biased theses

Which drive them back to six-seven years before their high school,

Where the kids learn

"the clear fountain"

the clear fountain like the times

When the philosopher swinger, stubborn, clad in a simple short,

We were making additions on the black board

Back to the desk I had my nose lying on my blotting paper

During the break it was foot, hide-and-seek and marbles

When we got out, miniruffs were sponging the vanilla icecream

Now there's the crisis, in the street people lie

Evidence of the Christ are being sought after when materialism does materialize

And from the icecream struggle we shift to class struggle

People who sponged cones now are those who steal registers

The rub is the addicts of the ASSEDIC abdicate

The crisis is sad like the outrage in the Copernic street

Hatred does not pay, it is ANPE who pay

People who regret school, detention, monitors and want "cash money"

The time when the schoolmistress taught them without effort

And without unhealthy hatred

"the clear fountain"

Change of style, change of theme

Change of calm, healthy, serene rhymes

Thus does rhythm imitates rites
