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