A quoi servent les prières? (original)A quoi servent les prières? (translation)
Tout au fond du camion, Deep in the back of the truck,
Tout crispé par les vibrations All tensed by the vibrations
Trois jours à naviguer Three days sailing
Deux jours depuis le quai, à rouler Two days from the dock, riding
Quitter la misère, Leaving misery,
Pour aller se vendre au milieu de l’enfer? To go sell yourself in the middle of hell?
A quoi servent les prières, qui ne rapportent pas le moindre salaire? Of what use are prayers, which bring not the least reward?
Les autres compagnons The other companions
Se serrent pour moins de frissons Tighten for less thrills
Comment ne pas tenter How not to try
Quand les tout-petits meurent sous votre nez When toddlers die right under your nose
De l’autre coté de la mer, On the other side of the sea,
Aller se vendre pour quelques billets verts Go sell yourself for some greenbacks
A quoi servent les prières, qui ne rapportent pas le moindre salaire? Of what use are prayers, which bring not the least reward?
Mais quand le camion s’est arrêté But when the truck stopped
T’as compris que c'était terminé You understood that it was over
La frontière était passée The border had passed
Mais les flics t’avaient vite repéré But the cops quickly spotted you
(parlé) Allez Les mains derrière le dos (spoken) Come on hands behind your back
Ecarte les jambes et regarde par terre, allez Spread your legs and look down, come on
A quoi servent les prières, à quoi? What are prayers for, what?
Pourtant, tu sens encore l’eau salée du port Yet you still smell the salt water of the harbor
Tu revois ta femme aux yeux pleins de trésors You see your wife again with eyes full of treasures
Et tes mômes qui cavalent en riant si fort And your kids running around laughing so hard
On te l’a dit qu’ici We told you that here
Les gens ne veulent ni d’Ahmed, ni d’Hadji People don't want Ahmed or Hadji
Ici, on veut oublier les colonies Here, we want to forget the colonies
Que l’on a pillées de l’Afrique à l’AsieThat we plundered from Africa to Asia
Quoiqu’il arrive, il faut manger, tu reprendras le chemin de la terre et de la Whatever happens, you have to eat, you will go back to the land and the
mer sea
A quoi servent les prières qui ne rapportent pas le moindre salaire? Of what use are prayers that do not yield the least reward?
Pourtant, tu sens encore l’eau salée du port Yet you still smell the salt water of the harbor
Tu revois ta femme aux yeux pleins de trésors You see your wife again with eyes full of treasures
Et tes mômes qui cavalent en riant si fort And your kids running around laughing so hard
Mais quand le camion s’est arrêté But when the truck stopped
T’as compris que c'était terminé You understood that it was over
Tu revois ta femme aux yeux pleins de trésors You see your wife again with eyes full of treasures
Et tes mômes qui cavalent en riant si fort And your kids running around laughing so hard
La frontière était passée The border had passed
Mais les flics t’avaient vite repéré But the cops quickly spotted you
Tu revois ta femme aux yeux pleins de trésors You see your wife again with eyes full of treasures
Et tes mômes qui cavalent en riant si fort And your kids running around laughing so hard
En riant si fort.Laughing so hard.
