Washington [English translation]

I'm going to Washington

but what am I going to do there, I don't know

I'm pretty up high, I can't see anything

I can't see a damn from here

She has almond eyes

and such a little face

and with her brothers

as little as them

do you want to see the photo of her I've got

But what's flying

it looks like a little ball

But what's still flying,

and slowly coming nearer

On each little movement, shoot

before the other one does the same with you

On each little feeling, shoot

it's better not to wonder about anything

but this time I want to see who's...

I started from London City

Where Beatles and rock & roll were

I was a nigger machine1

but now they call me zebra

since they put on me the arms of a white person called John

you want to go to Washington

but what are you going to do there

it's just a rock, I can't see a damn

not even there is anything still standing

I wonder whether he's listening to me

it's a nice morning

I wonder whether he, too, is thinking

there he comes

On each little movement, shoot,

before the other one does the same with you

on each little movement, shoot,

but nothing's moving here anymore

there's nobody left

it's just you and me...
