Translation of Elles Dansent from French to English
Once more I go to die in the street again
There's no way to run, nowhere to hide my friend
Until you believe in love as the master plan
She's gonna have to fight again, fight again
She dances, on the dance floor amidst the young wolves
She dances, when the sound is good, she doesn't care about anything else
She dances, if happiness isn't at the rendezvous
She will dance all night after all, come again
She dances, on the dance floor amidst the young wolves
She dances, when the sound is good, she doesn't care about anything else
She dances, if happiness isn't at the rendezvous
She will dance all night after all
And she never falters
Dedicated to all the women of the city
Whether they are from Pointe-à-Pitre, Paris or Yaoundé
Those who know suffering
Visiting rooms and sterile corridors
Guardians of our souls in adversity
From whom comes deliverance
Often your most faithful accomplice
Especially when death has given her wings
To all the sisters, women or mothers
To all those who know the torments of misery
Those who with a heavy heart, walk with a proud look
It's to my ghetto girls, that I dedicate these verses
Once more I go to die in the street again
There's no way to run, nowhere to hide my friend
Until you believe in love as the master plan
She's gonna have to fight again, fight again
She dances, on the dance floor amidst the young wolves
She dances, when the sound is good, she doesn't care about anything else
She dances, if happiness isn't at the rendezvous
She will dance all night after all
Hey, I'm talking about these women
Those who are not afraid to look you in the eye
All the women of the world, whether they are mama or Fatma
Girls and mothers who are still fighting for their rights
Hey, thank you baby for being there, for sharing my worries
Cursed be the demons that keep you away from me
My respect for you is only matched by my attraction to you
Strong like a mother for her son
When death faces vice
She can fight like ten
Like a sister for her brother
Facing misery
She keeps her feet on the ground, hey
She dances, on the dance floor amidst the young wolves
She dances, when the sound is good, she doesn't care about anything else
She dances, if happiness isn't at the rendezvous
She will dance all night after all
Once more I go to die in the street again
There's no way to run, nowhere to hide my friend
Until you believe in love as the master plan
She's gonna fight and fight again
Once more I go to die in the street again
There's no way to run, nowhere to hide my friend
Until you believe in love as the master plan
She's gonna fight and fight again, fight again
Oh, hey
Oh, hey
Oh, hey
