I thought i'd share that : A bit more than just music

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Post by Ghostwriter »

Yeah, i could have posted this into the music section, sure.

But i find it to be worth more, so i fixed (not perfectly) the not-so-bad-google translation of the French lyrics, because i think there is a good message there, in these troubled times.

French HipHop, 2013, about friendship, adversity, and humanity. :beer3: :hattip:



Translation, starting from 2'10" in the video

Oh, oh, what are you doing ! Stop !
What does it take you to do such things?
Why are you hurting yourself like this?
What's wrong ? Talk to me, you know you can tell me everything
But no but it's bullshit all this you know it
Look me in the eyes. Look at me. We do it, it doesn't matter
I find you beautiful. Since the first time I saw you
Besides, I still haven't recovered
And then how would I do without you?
And then how would the universe be without you?
It can never work. It's impossible
So don't cry! Don't cry. Because it's going to be good I promise you, it's going to be good
Because we are those who heal, those who resist, those who believe in miracles
Not those who say that when the tables are moving, someone is pushing them down
But one day all that we won’t even think about
We will have forgotten everything, as if it did not exist
[Bridge]
Meanwhile put your arms around my neck if you want
As I repeat these phrases that gave us strenght
Do you remember? .. Do you remember?

-Big monologue - not translated

From 4'50''

You wonder if you are a ferocious beast or a saint
But you are one, and the other. And so much more
You are infinitely many
The one who despises, the one who hurts, the one who loves, the one who searches. And all the other sets
Make a mistake, be reckless, everything is not fragile
Expect nothing but you, because you are sacred. Because you are alive
Because the most important thing is not what you are, but what you chose to be

[Verse 2]
Can you hear us, the Blizzard? Do you hear us ?
If you hear us, well , FUCK YOU !!
You thought you were going to have us huh?
Did you think we hadn't seen anything?
Surprise, asshole !

Can you hear us, the Shame? Do you hear us ?
If you hear us watch out when you come home all alone at night
We might want to break your jaw with metal objects
Or washing your head with lead, what do you say?

Can you hear us, the Sadness? Do you hear us ?
If you can hear us, know that you too are going to pack your bag soon
Take the first on the left, second on the right, then again on the left and go to fuck yourself
Congratulations! Well done !

Can you hear us, the Death? Do you hear us ?
If you hear us know you don't scare us, you can shoot whatever you want
We’re going on anyway, you won’t be able to stop us
And we will leave no one behind, we will leave no one laying down
It’s all over!

[Verse 3]
Do you hear us, the Dignity? Do you hear us ?
If you hear us know that we have a knee on the ground and that we are sorry
We're sorry for everything we could have done to you, but we're going to change!
We will become good people, you will see!
And one day you will be proud of us

Can you hear us, Love? Do you hear us ?
If you can hear us, you have to come back because we're ready now, that's it
We screwed up it’s true but since then we have understood
And here we have our palms open with our hearts inside
You have to take it and take it

Can you hear us, the Universe? Do you hear us ?
If you can hear us, wait for us! We arrive
We would like to: understand everything, know everything, see everything, live everything
We are looking for the door to the new world so we can blend in big

Can you hear us, who are waiting? You hear us ?
If you can hear us remember you’re not alone. Never
There are so many of us who are a bit wobbly a little weird
And in our heads there is a blizzard

Like the mystic losers with a big heart
We have to sound the alarm, to find ourselves, to meet
Let’s kiss, be billions of hands on billions of shoulders
Let’s repeat again that boredom is a crime
That life is a heist of the century, a fucking red pepper
Fuck his mother the Blizzard
Fuck his mother the Blizzard
It’s all over
