Lyrics of Tu me manques - Passi

Tu me manques (original)

A ARMAND mon pote, j’espre que tu reposes en paix…
Ca fait des annes, mais ton image ne cesse de me hanter.
T’es parti, depuis j’ai encore moins d’amis,
mme ceux du G.A.N.G.
ont beaucoup chang.
Pour moi, comme avant je continue mon parcours,
je cours et enfin je peux t’envoyer le bonjour !
Tu avais raison, le Rap, c’tait fait pour moi,
avec STOMY et les autres on pousse le Secteur.
Ah !
au fait, il y a aussi le Bisso Na Bisso,
un son sur lequel on aurait serr dans les soires afros.
On se tapera pas nos dlires vacances Cameroun Congo,
on se souviendra que de la cte et des serrages dans l’eau.
L’autre fois, j’ai vu ton frre calme, pos,
il emmnageait, on s’est retrouvs et on a bien dam.
J’ai plus trop de nouvelles du reste de ta famille,
ta soeur, ton cousin, ta mre, j’espre qu’ils vont bien.
Parmi nos rates ou celles qu’on voulait, certaines ont fan,
je suis sr que si on les croisait, on se mettrait vanner.
Je sais pas pourquoi je te dis tout a,
peut tre que tu le sais dj?
D’o tu es, tu es l, tu me vois, et…
Tu me manques, l haut !
Tu te rappelles ARMAND, les frres, copains braills,
j’admirais !
Ils me racontaient leurs conqutes,
cravate, soire, tasse-p.
Les rates aiment les lascars.
Je voulais tre quelqu’un dans le ti-quar,
car de rien, je voulais peser par mes propres moyens.
Graver mes initiales en large dans le futur,
jour aprs jour, plus parano j’acclrais l’allure.
C’est re-lou !
Dans ma vie, je suis devenu encore plus che-lou,
plus je gravis, je pse, plus j’ai des histoires de fou.
Le soir, je fais de nouveaux rves, vrai dire des cauchemars:
au-dessus de ma tte toujours ce putain de corbeau noir.
Dans la foule en furie, le film dfile au ralenti,
la faucheuse passe, la poisse, mon corps se glace.
Ca se passe en soire: PASSI, prends a !
Encul !
Maintenant, comme l’ARAIGNEE, mes sens sont dclenchs.
Je suis carr droit dans mon coin, froid.
Mais o est pass
le PASSI qui dlirait, qui tout le temps, s’clatait?
PAPA, c’est moi !
Salut, comment tu vas?
Je sais que de l-bas, tu vois et veilles encore sur moi.
CEDAR, ANNIE, ERIC, CHRISTIAN, JOE, STEEVE vont bien aussi.
Si je te parle, c’est avec eux que je te salue aujourd’hui.
Ils sont tous devenus papa et maman,
part le petit et moi, c’est pas encore le moment.
Ah !
Vraiment tes descendants ont les mmes traits que toi.
Je suis plus vieux, je comprends mieux, avant je n’coutais pas.
Ton PASSI a l’occasion de t’envoyer ces quelques mots,
fais une bise Grand-Mre et aux Tontons l haut !
Grand merci, c’est ainsi, je te dois la vie.
Vives flicitations !
Ta grande famille est unie,
sois fier des tiens, tes filles, tes fistons,
ton pass, tes rires, colres, tu avais raison.
Ma folie, toujours le rap, mon album t’est ddi.
Ah !
Tata Nzamb Tat !
Tu ne cesses de me manquer.
Tu me manques l-haut !
Reposez en paix l-haut,
vous me manquez l-haut…

(translation)

To ARMAND my friend, I hope you rest in peace...
It's been years, but your image keeps haunting me.
You left, since I have even fewer friends,
even those of the G.A.N.G.
have changed a lot.
For me, as before I continue my journey,
I'm running and finally I can say hello!
You were right, Rap was for me
with STOMY and the others we push the Sector.
Ah!
by the way, there is also the Bisso Na Bisso,
a sound that we would have squeezed in Afro parties.
We won't have our crazy Cameroon Congo holidays,
we will only remember the coast and the tightness in the water.
The other time I saw your brother calm, poised,
he was moving in, we got together and we had a good time.
I don't have too much news from the rest of your family,
your sister, your cousin, your mother, I hope they are well.
Among our rats or the ones we wanted, some have a fan,
I'm sure if we ran into them, we'd winnow.
I don't know why I'm telling you all this,
maybe you already know that?
From where you are, you are there, you see me, and...
I miss you up there!
Do you remember ARMAND, the brothers, bawling friends,
I admired!
They told me of their conquests,
tie, evening, cup-p.
Rats love lads.
I wanted to be someone in the ti-quar,
because of nothing, I wanted to weigh in on my own.
Engrave my initials wide in the future,
day after day, the more paranoid I picked up the pace.
It's annoying !
In my life, I've become even more hairy,
the more I climb, I pse, the more crazy stories I have.
In the evening, I have new dreams, actually nightmares:
above my head always this fucking black crow.
In the furious crowd, the film scrolls in slow motion,
the mower passes, bad luck, my body freezes.
It happens in the evening: PASSI, take a!
Fuck!
Now, like the SPIDER, my senses are triggered.
I'm square in my corner, cold.
But where did you go
the PASSI who was raving, who was having a blast all the time?
DAD, it's me!
Hello, how are you?
I know that from there you still see and watch over me.
CEDAR, ANNIE, ERIC, CHRISTIAN, JOE, STEEVE are fine too.
If I speak to you, it is with them that I greet you today.
They all became mom and dad,
leave the little one and me, it's not the time yet.
Ah!
Really your descendants have the same traits as you.
I'm older, I understand better, before I didn't listen.
Your PASSI has the opportunity to send you these few words,
give a kiss to Grand-Mre and to Tontons up there!
Many thanks, that's how it is, I owe you my life.
Hearty congratulations!
Your big family is united,
be proud of yours, your daughters, your sons,
your background, your laughter, your anger, you were right.
My madness, still rap, my album is dedicated to you.
Ah!
Tata Nzamb Tat!
I keep missing you.
I miss you up there!
Rest in peace up there,
I miss you up there...
