Original text with translation
Daniel Balavoine
La porte est close
Je voudrais sortir de l’enfer
La porte est close
Ma tête explose
Ils ont emmuré nos terres
Oh!
ma tête explose
Ils m’ont demandé
Ce que je faisais là
Je leur ai expliqué
Que je venais pour toi
Alors au bout de leurs fusils
Ils m’ont ramené chez moi
Ils ont dit à nos parents
Qu'à partir d 'aujourd'hui
Commençait vraiment le bon temps
C'était le treize août 1961
J’allais rue Bernauer
Je devais voir mon frère
Pour parler de liberté;
Je n’ai rien dit
Quand ils ont demandé;
mon frère
Moi j’ai rien dit
M’ont interdit de retourner
Rue Bernauer
M’ont interdit
Ils nous ont raconté;
Que tu avais trahi
Que t’avais choisi
Le mauvais côté du pays
Qu’ils ne fallait rien regretter
Puisque nous, nous étions restés
Ils ont dit à nos parents
Qu'à partir d’aujourd’hui
Tu n'étais plus leur enfant
C'était le treize août 1961
J’allais rue Bernauer
Je devais voir mon frère
Pour parler de liberté;
The door is closed
I wanna get out of hell
The door is closed
my head is exploding
They walled up our lands
Oh!
my head is exploding
They asked me
What I was doing there
I explained to them
That I was coming for you
So at the end of their guns
They took me home
They told our parents
that from today
Really started the good times
It was August thirteenth, 1961
I was going rue Bernauer
I had to see my brother
To speak of freedom;
I said nothing
When they asked;
my brother
I didn't say anything
Forbade me to return
Bernauerstraat
banned me
They told us;
That you betrayed
What you chose
The wrong side of the country
That they had nothing to regret
Since we had stayed
They told our parents
That from today
You were no longer their child
It was August thirteenth, 1961
I was going rue Bernauer
I had to see my brother
To speak of freedom;
