lyrics translations

Hey folks,

this is for the English-compatible people out there. I translated our "non-English" into English for those who don't understand them in the original language. I apologize for the poor lyrical quality but the words lost a lot of their "musicality" through the translation but I hope they still make sense. If they don't, please ask for an explanation!


Demande d'exil - exile requested


The clothes are all drenched by the rain

There is no one who supports me

The flames that are burning in my heart

Are raging with the pain


This is my request for exile

Leave me in peace


After all this, I escaped

Degraded to a machine that lives

My soul became all crude

My compassion has disappeared


All alone, and I ask you

All of you, do I have to feel ashamed

I turn my back on this life

Let me leave, I beg you please


Raaten -
rats


The economy has to grow

You mustn’t be too slow

It is either Them or Us

The competition never sleeps

But in our game and with our rules

They never get a chance


Education is lying at our feet

But we don’t care to pick it up

The water comes from the tap

It is easy to get used to this

We behave and take our medicine

So that we get as old as possible


Luxuries everywhere, this is what we need this is what we want. Actually there is nothing that I need so I just buy what I don’t need. We eat so much that we throw up, it is not hunger that makes us burst. We get drunk and feel happy, war and poverty are not ours to worry.


Like rats in a world full of misery

We are well off, who cares if this is fair.


Opium fürs Volk - Opium for the people (opium of the people)


Wire up my soul

I need new waves

The pictures are rumbling again

They wash away our worries and our doubts


“Myspace” © is in front of the screen

This is my altar

We are a community with a profile

Everyone finds their salvation here

Opium for the people (opium of the people)


Everyone fits into these frames

Brothers and sisters, just like you and me

We don’t want to leave here

Dazzled (blinded) by the shadows of reality



Luxembourg's burning - Luxembourg’s burning


The capital is in flames

Nobody’s freezing

The golden woman is all black

They say it is Modern Arts


The capital is burning


The people are in flames

Do we need to defend freedom?

RTHell is right on the spot

Scandals, sensations, everywhere it burns


The train station is ablaze

They’re all fleeing, dealer and bum

In Parliament they all fell asleep

They don’t hear the fire alarm.


Cerco la Terra - Looking for the shore

Oh what the heck, i don´t understand a thing,

I´m on this boat, with all these strange people

Oh what the heck, i don´t understand a thing,

My mouth is dry, and madness in my mind.

Yeah i should admit, that these are waves of alcohol

took me far away from shore

Yeah i should admit, that i need a helping hand

Please let me speak with the captain


It’s an odyssey,

I´m on a drift

I’m looking for the shore

I’m looking for the shore



Sahha fid Diversita - Strength through Diversity


Forget this myth of monoculture

This fanatic, ferocious vulture

Breeding in minds closed by gates of fear

Feeding on cancerous hearts that sear


Sahha fid Diversita


We are all equal under the same sun

There is not only one way to live your life

Speak the language o solidarity!

Listen to the voice of equality!


all different, all equal

SAD BUT TRUE / Pierre
