Original text with translation
Bernard Lavilliers
Kingston, Jamaica
Tu as le meme son
La tete dans les etoiles
Les pieds dans les bas-fonds
Melange etrange, echange de violence et de ciel
Torride et fluide danger poison sensuel
Melodie en sous-sol
Les soirs de rhum tragiques
A Tivoli Garden
J’ecris de Jamaique
Melange etrange, echange de violence et de ciel
Torride et fluidedanger poison sensuel
La-bas dans l’autre monde
On chantera toujours
L’egalite des chances
La patience des vautours
Tu dansais comme un lion
Quand le quartier s’endort
Sous le soleil beton
Si rien ne change tu peux
Frapper, cogner, danser, rever, chanter, bruler
Chercher, trouver, aimer et puis survivre
Quand elle dansait la nuit
Au tempo de rench Town
Ne reve pas elle s’ennuie
Elle compte les secondes
Melange etrange echange de violence et de ciel
Torride et fluide danger poison sensuel
Kingston, Jamaica
You have the same sound
Head in the stars
Feet in the shallows
Strange mix, exchange of violence and sky
Scorching and fluid sensual poison danger
Melody in the basement
The tragic rum evenings
At Tivoli Garden
I write from Jamaica
Strange mix, exchange of violence and sky
Scorching and fluid danger sensual poison
Over there in the other world
We will always sing
The equality of chances
The patience of vultures
You were dancing like a lion
When the neighborhood falls asleep
Under the concrete sun
If nothing changes you can
Hit, knock, dance, dream, sing, burn
Seek, find, love and then survive
When she danced at night
To the tempo of Rench Town
Don't dream she's bored
She counts the seconds
Strange mix exchange of violence and sky
Scorching and fluid sensual poison danger
