Hommage à Villa-Lobos

(original)
Je m’appelle Charlie,
et aujourd’hui j’ai froid,
j’ai pas envie de rire.
J’avais oublié qu’en hiver,
il était bon d’se couvrir.
J’me suis dessiné des mitaines,
et une écharpe bon marché,
j’aurai jamais cru qu’mon rêve,
pourrait m'ôter ma liberté.
Mon crime, celui pour l’quel j’suis condamné,
c’est d’avoir souri sur des sujets où les autres se sont braqués,
C’est d’oser dénoncer, avec second degré, caricaturer une réalité
Souvent trop oubliée.
Mais où vas tu mon monde?
Esclave des arts et des lettres?
Ta liberté c’est donc de fuir plutôt que de l’admettre?
Tu appelles au combat, quand nous restons bouffons des rois,
Divertir pour des sourires, est-ce là l’erreur qui nous tuera?
J’ai froid, j’ai peur.
Aujourd’hui le vent me glace le sang,
j’ai l’impression qu’la fin a trouvé son commencement.
Alors courez, hurlez, indignez vous face à mes dires,
Alors criez, jugez, si être à genoux pour vous c’est vivre,
On ne m’enlèvera rien, on ne m’achèvera pas,
Vous voulez être libres?
Mais vous n'êtes rien de ça.
Alors pleurez, tombez, mais ne regrettez pas,
La vie nous a donné le choix de mener nos propres combats,
Notre arme a été la parole, quelques crayons, ça n’suffit pas,
Il aura suffit d’une fois pour que notre arme ait perdue foi.
Je m’appelle Charlie, et aujourd’hui j’ai froid, j’ai pas envie d’rire.
Non car aujourd’hui je suis mort, et c’est demain que vient le pire.
(translation)
My name is Charlie,
and today I'm cold,
I don't want to laugh.
I had forgotten that in winter,
it was good to cover up.
I drew mittens for myself,
and a cheap scarf,
I would never have believed that my dream,
could take away my freedom.
My crime, the one for which I am condemned,
is to have smiled on subjects where others have focused,
It is to dare to denounce, with second degree, to caricature a reality
Often too forgotten.
But where are you going my world?
Slave to arts and letters?
So your freedom is to run rather than admit it?
You call for battle, when we're still fooling around kings,
Entertaining for smiles, is this the mistake that will kill us?
I'm cold, I'm scared.
Today the wind freezes my blood,
I feel like the end has found its beginning.
So run, scream, be indignant at my words,
So shout, judge, if to be on your knees is to live for you,
Nothing will be taken from me, nothing will be finished off,
Want to be free?
But you are none of that.
So cry, fall, but don't regret,
Life has given us the choice to fight our own battles,
Our weapon was the word, a few pencils, that's not enough,
It only took once for our weapon to lose faith.
My name is Charlie, and today I'm cold, I don't feel like laughing.
No, because today I am dead, and tomorrow is the worst.
