Lyrics of Douanes - Dominique A

Douanes (original)

Reniflés par un chien
Les poches retournées
On nous dévisageait
A la douane on cherchait
A ne oas avoir l’air
Ni fier ni trop aimable
L’air de ce qu’on était
Comme nous, stationnait le ciel
On attendait quelque chose, un orage
Et chcun repensait
A ceux qui l’attendait
Aux promesses de retour
Que tous on avait fait
Tandis qu’on nous jaugeait
Qu’on nous regardait bien
On se concentrait pour
Ne ressembler à rien
De fro, tières en frontières
Et de Douanes en douanes
Certains ont tout passé déjà
Ils ont fait le grand tour
Sans s’en être aperçu
Repassant dans des villes
Qui ont changé de nom
Qu’ils n’ont pas reconnues
Surveillés par un chien
Les poches retournées
Presque méconnaissables
Tant nos visages
A force d'être dévisagés
Ne savent plus se reprendre
Tant nos cartes
A force d'être manipulées
Tendent à s'éffacer
(Merci à loic pour cettes paroles)

(translation)

Sniffed by a dog
Turned pockets
We were stared at
At customs we were looking for
To not seem
Neither proud nor too kind
The look of what we used to be
Like us, stationed the sky
We were waiting for something, a storm
And everyone was thinking
To those who waited
To promises of return
That we all did
As we were gauged
That we were looked at well
We focused on
look like nothing
From fro, third to borders
And from Customs to Customs
Some have already passed everything
They've come around
Without realizing it
Passing through towns
Who have changed their name
That they didn't recognize
Guarded by a dog
Turned pockets
almost unrecognizable
Both our faces
By dint of being stared
Can't pick themselves up anymore
Both our cards
From being manipulated
Tend to fade away
