Translation of the song lyrics Briller dans le noir - La Canaille, Sir Jean

Briller dans le noir (original)

We’ve been programmed inna dem schools to be used as tools
Slaved by their system
But they will never prevent us from shining in da dark
T’sais quoi?
Hors de question de raser les murs, j’veux les briser
Chez moi l’ambiance est bien trop morne je suis venu l'électriser
Habité d’une soif de vivre que personne ne monnaye
Y a dans mon camp des pépites d’or à faire pâlir le Soleil
A trop courber l'échine, la coupe est pleine de rage
Et le schéma se reproduit quand nos mouflets prennent de l'âge
Alors comprends qu’ici la soif de revanche est maladive
Parce que j’viens d’un monde où y a pas d’autre alternative
Dem seh noting good will never come from us
From we born inna da ghetto
Dem seh we dangerous
Never wanna tek we serious
It a mek dem hilarious
To see we struggle to reach da top
Hoping we mek a flop
But dem will never kill da hope
Cuz we still stand like warriors of light
Ya hear me, warriors of light
Born inna de ghetto
Raised inna de seewer
Fresh out from da gutter
We get to shine in da dark
Born inna de ghetto
Raised inna de seewer
Fresh out from da gutter
We get to shine in da dark
On doit briller briller briller dans le noir
We get to shine, shine, shine, shine in da dark
On doit briller briller briller dans le noir
We get to shine, shine, shine, shine in da dark
Alors prépare la contre-attaque à l’angle mort des meurtrières
J’sais que nos muscles, nos nerfs sont bien plus sûrs que leurs prières
Au programme, le prolo rompt les rangs et le proclame
Avec l’insoumission d’rigueur et la bonne vieille parole profane
Aspiration verticale, j’ai l’intention d’me redresser
Direct c’est l’agression frontale pour qui voudrait me rabaisser
Y a qu’une façon de s’en sortir et tu peux m’croire
L'époque est sombre, on est réduit à devoir briller dans le noir
Hey!
Now that I’ve seen da light, Babylon can’t blur my sight
I know I get dis fire inside inna low or high tide
Babylon could never spoil da ride
I’m da captain of my ship, giving da Lord my soul to keep
I giggle and laugh to hear dem wheep
Cuz they thought we would never mek it
But now we’ve passed through and we sitting on da throne
And guess who’s laughin', we still outstand the light
Warriors of light!!!
L’espoir est dans la lutte, j’réponds présent au rendez-vous
Your future lies within your hands, don’t let dem control U
Hommage aux fils de rien, ceux qui résistent et rendent les coups
Every man deserve his share so tek what is for U

(translation)

We've been programmed inna dem schools to be used as tools
Slaved by their system
But they will never prevent us from shining in da dark
You know what?
No way to shave the walls, I want to break them
At home the atmosphere is far too gloomy I came to electrify it
Inhabited by a thirst for life that no one monetizes
There's nuggets of gold on my side to make the sun pale
To hunker down too much, the cup is full of rage
And the pattern recurs when our kids get older
So understand that here the thirst for revenge is sickly
'Cause I come from a world where there's no other alternative
Dem seh noting good will never come from us
From we born inna da ghetto
Dem seh we dangerous
Never wanna tek we serious
It a mek dem hilarious
To see we struggle to reach da top
Hoping we mek a flop
But dem will never kill da hope
Cuz we still stand like warriors of light
Ya hear me, warriors of light
Born inna de ghetto
Raised inna de seewer
Fresh out from da gutter
We get to shine in da dark
Born inna de ghetto
Raised inna de seewer
Fresh out from da gutter
We get to shine in da dark
We gotta shine shine shine in the dark
We get to shine, shine, shine, shine in da dark
We gotta shine shine shine in the dark
We get to shine, shine, shine, shine in da dark
So prepare the counterattack at the blind spot of the loopholes
I know that our muscles, our nerves are much safer than their prayers
On the program, the prolo breaks ranks and proclaims it
With the insubordination of rigor and the good old profane speech
Vertical suction, I intend to straighten up
Direct is the frontal aggression for who would demean me
There's only one way out and you can believe me
Times are dark, we're reduced to having to glow in the dark
Hey!
Now that I've seen da light, Babylon can't blur my sight
I know I get dis fire inside inna low or high tide
Babylon could never spoil da ride
I'm da captain of my ship, giving da Lord my soul to keep
I giggle and laugh to hear dem wheep
Cuz they thought we would never mek it
But now we've passed through and we sitting on da throne
And guess who's laughin', we still outstand the light
Warriors of light!!!
Hope is in the fight, I'm here for the appointment
Your future lies within your hands, don't let dem control U
Tribute to the sons of nothing, those who resist and fight back
Every man deserve his share so tek what is for U
