Translation of the song lyrics Zetwal Box - Vicelow, Rachel Claudio, Sébastien Drumeaux

Zetwal Box (original)

«Oh please tell me!
What am I supposed to do?
I have a bellyful of rage
But I want to forgive you!»
Can you tell me brother, what am I to do?
I got a belly of rage but I wanna forgive you
(I've got a back so soft
Better tell me who you are.)
Il sort ses griffes à chaque moquerie, il a trop pris
Dans la face, il voit que le proprio en profite, trop triste !
Ses chroniques ne peuvent payer son loyer
Il sait lire, écrire, mais aussi aboyer
Tu t’es dit: «Ca y est, je l’ai éduqué.»
Black man éradiqué, histoire, passé décapité?
Non non non !
Lourds souvenirs endoloris
Ton âme est bien plus sombre que son coloris
Son peuple est torride
Etouffe entre un hier et demain morbides
Glisse trop souvent, fait du hors-piste
Eparpillé malgré lui aux quatre coins du globe
Je rêve qu’un jour il ait la vision cyclope
Tu sais ce qui cloche chez toi, le cyclone dans la bicoque?
T’as voulu clore le débat car ces problèmes te picottent
C’est auch', à la recherche de sa dignité
A la fois orphelin, parent, drôle d’identité
Can you tell me brother, what am I to do?
I got a belly of rage but I wanna forgive you
(I've got a back so soft
Better tell me who you are.)
Nou ja vwè
Nous ja aten’d
Mè nou péké rété la ka fè deyè
Lè an gadé douvan sé limiè an…
Lè kè ka travesé chimen, tète lévé
La restan vini goumé
«Oh please tell me!
What am I supposed to do?
I have a bellyful of rage
But I want to forgive you!»
I’m holding a place for those who through thick fog
Spit in your face and maul like a diseased dog
I got the balls on my cannon lined flawless
Shoot from the walls of this XXXXX fortress
Score this for the mind of all to their XXXXX
Women as human slaves, am I really lawless?
XXXXX
And I get no aid when I’m versus XXXXX
I knock the emperor from the empire
XXXXX will wrestle with the vampire
Nou ja vwè
Nous ja aten’d
Mè nou péké rété la ka fè deyè
Lè an gadé douvan sé limiè an…
Lè kè ka travesé chimen, tète lévé
La restan vini goumé
(I've got a back so soft
Better tell me who you are.)

Zetwal Box (translation)

“Oh please tell me!
What am I supposed to do?
I have a bellyful of rage
But I want to forgive you!”
Can you tell me brother, what am I to do?
I got a belly of rage but I wanna forgive you
(I've got a back so soft
Better tell me who you are.)
He sticks out his claws at every mockery, he's taken too much
In the face, he sees that the owner is taking advantage of it, too sad!
His columns can't pay his rent
He can read, write, but also bark
You thought, "That's it, I educated him."
Black man eradicated, history, decapitated past?
No no no !
Heavy aching memories
Your soul is much darker than its color
His people are hot
Choking between a morbid yesterday and tomorrow
Slips too often, goes off-road
Scattered despite himself to the four corners of the globe
I dream that one day he will have cyclops vision
You know what's wrong with you, the cyclone in the shack?
You wanted to close the debate because these problems tingle you
It's auch', in search of his dignity
Part orphan, part parent, odd identity
Can you tell me brother, what am I to do?
I got a belly of rage but I wanna forgive you
(I've got a back so soft
Better tell me who you are.)
Nou ja vwe
We ja aten'd
Mè nou péké reté la ka fè deyè
Lè an gadé douvan se limè an…
Lè kè ka crossed chimen, head up
La restan vini goume
“Oh please tell me!
What am I supposed to do?
I have a bellyful of rage
But I want to forgive you!”
I'm holding a place for those who through thick fog
Spit in your face and maul like a diseased dog
I got the balls on my cannon lined flawless
Shoot from the walls of this XXXXX fortress
Score this for the mind of all to their XXXXX
Women as human slaves, am I really lawless?
XXXXX
And I get no aid when I'm versus XXXXX
I knock the emperor from the empire
XXXXX will wrestle with the vampire
Nou ja vwe
We ja aten'd
Mè nou péké reté la ka fè deyè
Lè an gadé douvan se limè an…
Lè kè ka crossed chimen, head up
La restan vini goume
(I've got a back so soft
Better tell me who you are.)
