Translation of the song lyrics Au commencement - Taktika

Au commencement (original)

Au commencement c'était les maîtres de cérémonie
Un cypher, un beatbox, sans mélodie
Y’avait les graffeurs qui embellissaient les murs de l'école
Et les DJ qui faisaient même danser les boles
Y’avait les B-Boys, qui tournaient sur la tête
Et quand les 4 étaient réunis c'était la fête
C'était l'époque des block partys, et des afros
Sugar Hill gang, prenait New York d’assault
De hip, de Hop, de hip and to the hip hop
Naissait la culture la plus influente de notre époque
Yeah, c'était une révolution
La musique était en pleine évolution
On pouvait voir DJ Kool Herc en perfo
Hip Hop à l'état pur live de son berceau
On écoutait The message de Grand Master Flash
C'était bien avant que le rap, devienne une histoire de cash
Refrain T-mo et B.I.C 2x
Au commencement c'était le soul, un funky drum
C'était peace, love, unity and having fun
Au commencement c'était le show, le real hip hop
Je t’emmène début 80 dans les quartiers de New York
T-Mo
Au commencement c'était peace, le son était festif
Au saurait cru dans Star trek, tellement les fringues étaient stiff

Au commencement (translation)

In the beginning it was the masters of ceremonies
A cypher, a beatbox, no melody
There were graffiti artists who embellished the walls of the school
And the DJs who even made the boles dance
There were the B-Boys, who were spinning on their heads
And when the 4 were together it was a party
It was the days of block parties, and afros
Sugar Hill gang, took New York by storm
From hip, to hop, from hip and to the hip hop
The most influential culture of our time was born
Yeah, it was a revolution
The music was evolving
You could see DJ Kool Herc performing
Pure Hip Hop live from its cradle
We were listening to Grand Master Flash's message
That was way before rap was all about cash
Chorus T-mo and B.I.C 2x
In the beginning it was the soul, a funky drum
It was peace, love, unity and having fun
In the beginning it was the show, the real hip hop
I'll take you early 80's to New York neighborhoods
T Mo
In the beginning it was peace, the sound was festive
As you would believe in Star trek, the clothes were so stiff
