Welcome Gorby : traduction de Français vers Anglais
He hasn't been born, the guy who'll make me
Say that I have tenderness for kings
Or for leaders
They've all deserved throughout history
The wrath of my black ink
But Gorbachev
Is a little amazing man
Against whom I currently have
No grievance
No one deserved more than him
The Nobel Prize for scarcity
And destitution
Welcome Gorby, welcome here
Where there are a few of us, I believe
A friend of mine and then me
Hoping
That you'll come with your tanks
To deliver us
You brought down the Berlin Wall
If you don't know what to do with the bricks
For your information
There's space here, my old man
Around all the ministries
All the barracks
That'll prevent the populace
From one day hanging all these crazies
From the lantern
Though for once it would be justice
To contemplate these poor sinister ones
With their heads down
Here there are chains to break
Start with the TV chains
It would be like Byzantium
If you could rid us a bit
Of this "Big Brother" nonsense
I trust you
You could also liquidate
The FM radios that make us puke
That throw at us
Our hydrocephalic singers
And their fecal poetry
All the indigence
Welcome Gorby, welcome here
Where there are a few of us, I believe
A friend of mine and then me
Hoping
That you'll come
With your tanks to deliver us
Welcome Gorby, welcome here
Where there are a few of us, I believe
A friend of mine and then me
Hoping
That you'll come with your tanks
They surely wouldn't want to stay
He hasn't been born, the guy who'll make me
Say that I have tenderness for kings
Or for leaders
They've all deserved throughout history
The wrath of my black ink
But Gorbachev
Is a little amazing man
Against whom I currently have
No grievance
No one deserved more than him
The Nobel Prize for scarcity
And destitution
Welcome Gorby, welcome here
Where there are a few of us, I believe
A friend of mine and then me
Hoping
That you'll come with your tanks
To deliver us
You brought down the Berlin Wall
If you don't know what to do with the bricks
For your information
There's space here, my old man
Around all the ministries
All the barracks
That'll prevent the populace
From one day hanging all these crazies
From the lantern
Though for once it would be justice
To contemplate these poor sinister ones
With their heads down
Here there are chains to break
Start with the TV chains

If you could rid us a bit

Our hydrocephalic singers
And their fecal poetry
All the indigence
Welcome Gorby, welcome here
Where there are a few of us, I believe
A friend of mine and then me
Hoping
That you'll come with your army
To sweep everything away
You can build, if you come
A few gulags by the Seine
As a matter of urgency
Here there are a bunch of nuisances
Who blow the fuses
Of our conscience
Some BHLs and Foucaults
Not the philosopher, no, the other idiot
Some Dorothées
Very nice overall
I would say more exactly
To the morons
Welcome Gorby, welcome here
Where there are a few of us, I believe
A friend of mine and then me
Hoping
That you'll come to smack
These crazies
We have here, it's very practical
A few psychiatric hospitals
That you can empty
To put in the psychoanalysts
The deputies, the journalists
And the Musclés
It's going to be a hell of a job
But if you want collaborators
Don't worry
You know, except in my audience
In every Frenchman sleeps a cop
You just have to pick
If you're tired of communism
I won't even tell you about capitalism
How great it is
How we're manipulated
Intoxicated, filed, scammed
By these bastards
Come and see our idols
They're a bit more rock and roll
Than your Lenin
Bernard Tapie and Anne Sinclair
With that you understand that our misery
Is legitimate
Welcome Gorby, welcome here
Where there are a few of us, I believe
A friend of mine and then me
Hoping
That you'll come to eliminate
Our bastards
Welcome Gorby, welcome here
Where there are a few of us, I believe
A friend of mine and then me
Supposing
That if you came with your tanks
They surely wouldn't want to stay.
