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