Ghettos (original)Ghettos (translation)
La neige est sale, enfant bien portant, non Caucasien The snow is dirty, well child, non-Caucasian
Est né à huit heures, heure de Harlem, dans l’ghetto Was born at eight o'clock Harlem time in the ghetto
À 8 heures 17, une voisine rapporte, la mère a pleuré At 8:17, a neighbor reports, the mother cried
Elle aurait dit «une autre bouche à nourrir» dans l’ghetto She would have said "another mouth to feed" in the ghetto
Elle s’s’rait couchée sur le siège arrière She would have lain in the back seat
De la Buick qu’est au garage From the Buick that's to the garage
C’est la voisine qui a vu la fumée It was the neighbor who saw the smoke
À 9 heures 45, les pompiers étaient sur place At 9:45 a.m., firefighters were on the scene.
Et l’enfant noir qui n’a pas pleuré a pu être sauvé And the black child that didn't cry could be saved
Veille de Noël, un gosse de dix ans au nez qui coule Christmas Eve, a ten year old kid with a runny nose
Se fraye un chemin dans la foule dans le ghetto, et y traîne le soir Weaves his way through the crowds in the ghetto, and hangs out there at night
Il prend de tout ce qu’on lui donne He takes from everything we give him
Des trucs qui sonnent comme belladone, qu’est-c'que ça donne? Things that sound like belladonna, what does it give?
À midi 5, achète un flingue, à 2 heures, braque le drugstore At 12:05, buy a gun, at 2:00, rob the drugstore
Mais le vieux Russe qu’a déjà donné sort le canon scié But the old Russian that has already given pulls out the sawn off
3 heures et quart, un Portoricain et un papy noir Quarter past three, a Puerto Rican and a black grandpa
R’connaissent le corps, on s’habille de noir dans le ghetto Recognize the body, we dress in black in the ghetto
J’ai pas noté l’heure I did not note the time
La circulation ralentissait, le convoi qui disparaissait dans l’ghettoTraffic was slowing, the convoy disappearing into the ghetto
