Stand The Ghetto (original)Stand The Ghetto (translation)
Si tu danses reggae If you dance reggae
Si tu penses reggae If you think reggae
Tu balances, reggae You swing, reggae
Sans défense, reggae Defenseless, reggae
C’est spécial, reggae It's special, reggae
Infernal, reggae Infernal, reggae
Ça commence à cogner It's starting to knock
Comme un cœur régulier Like a regular heart
I and I love the island in the sun I and I love the island in the sun
I and I know, when, and where I go I and I know, when, and where I go
But it is so hard to feed my kids But it is so hard to feed my kids
But it is so hard to stand the ghetto But it is so hard to stand the ghetto
Tout l’monde danse, tu te traînes Everybody's dancing, you're dragging
Tout l’monde fume et tu bois Everybody smokes and you drink
Downtown, ça enchaîne Downtown, it goes on
Dans les rhumbars en bois In wooden rumbars
Quand ça cause le reggae When it causes reggae
Ça explose, reggae It explodes, reggae
C’est la soul, reggae It's soul, reggae
Qui déboule, reggae Who tumbles, reggae
Derrière les barbelés behind the barbed wire
Trois rangées bien gardées Three well guarded rows
Ils attendent de crever They're waiting to die
De sortir, de braquer To go out, to rob
Pour le flingue dans ta poche For the gun in your pocket
T’es coincé à Gun Court You're stuck at Gun Court
Jusque-là le reggae Until then reggae
Viendra te réveiller will wake you up
Elle est noire, et dorée She's black, and gold
Elle est belle à crever She is beautiful to die for
Regarde-la marcher Watch her walk
Et danser son reggae And dance his reggae
Fait trop chaud pour chanter Too hot to sing
Fait trop soif pour noter Too thirsty to rate
Trop beau pour t’expliquer Too good to explain
Ce qui s’passe dans l’reggaeWhat happens in reggae
