À travers les vagues - Dub Inc, Skarra Mucci, Naâman

Si les frontières sont fermées, on nage

Oh my brother tell them

On nous destine à braver l’orage

We are all citizens of the world so shout it

On n’a pas les mêmes chances et on n’a pas les mêmes limites

Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?

Où sont les frontières?

On se réfugie, on s’invite

Tendre la main à travers les vagues

Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites

Lorsqu’on abandonne et que la mer déborde

Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive

Tendre la main à travers les vagues

De quel droit, au nom de quelle loi peut-on leur refuser ce que l’on s’offre à

nous-mêmes?

Si c'était moi, si c'était toi, on ferait pareil bien sûr qu’on crierait à

l’aide

Ce que l’on voit à travers les vagues, ne sont que le reflet, le miroir de

nous-mêmes

De quel droit, au nom de quelle loi peut-on leur refuser ce que l’on s’offre à

nous-mêmes?

Hold on!

May I ask a question?

What if weh we see is just part of a plan?

Deceive divide put man against man

Play with the anger a di population

Financial empire love di situation

New slave masses from di next piece a land

Ask yourself who benefit from this, who mek money from this?

Then who cyaan get rid of this?

Et on compte les victimes, juste un autre listing

À l’image des visages anonymes

Mais qui sont les victimes, qui rallongent ces listings?

Au large, en marge, mais le regard digne

Peu importe les risques, peu importe la manière de partir

Quand l’assiette est vide il n’y a que l’espoir qui fait survivre

Quelle est la justice si l’on ne peut choisir son avenir?

Lorsque tous nos fils, nos frères sont prêts à choisir le pire

All they got is bombs and soldiers inna kaki suit

We see the people them starving while Babylon is looting

They sell the guns so the war can’t cool

Haffi clear up the problem from the root

They run away with no paper

Open your door Mother Earth is our shelter

Find ourselves for the sake of one and others

Beyond the borders

On n’a pas les mêmes chances et on n’a pas les mêmes limites

Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?

Où sont les frontières?

On se réfugie, on s’invite

Tendre la main à travers les vagues

Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites

Lorsqu’on abandonne et que la mer déborde

Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive

Tendre la main à travers les vagues

Because divide and separate just to rule

Play full control and play we fool

Give we all kind of reasons to kill your friend

Or even your brother or your family dem

They say that division would made us strong

But we prove dem wrong me say from so long

A time fi unite everybody stay strong

Well no matter your race, your colour or religion

Let’s come together everybody hand in hand

Mek we march out strong in a dis yah revolution

We bun a fire upon dem separation

We’re standing strong in a dis yah Armageddon

Emergency

Worldwide seas are overflowing of people inna suffering, nobody give a damn

thing, Lord

We can take this no more

Reach out to the needy and the poor

No man is an island, displacement a di people inna violence

Some a still smile and yet dem suffering inna silence

Walk pon di white sand then pass thru a tight fence

No wonda why the I stand fi unity and guidance

Dans le désert je n’ai pas le choix

Face à moi et à la mer je n’ai pas de quoi

Moi j'évolue en me disant vous voulez pas de moi

J’ai la couleur de la misère on m’a dit sans émoi

Alors plus rien à foutre on va risquer la vie

J’ai pas besoin de vos conseils et de tous vos avis

La vie c’est fifty-fifty tous on a un préavis

S’il faut sauver tous les miens fuck la mort voilà ma vie

On n’a pas les mêmes chances et on n’a pas les mêmes limites

Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?

Où sont les frontières?

On se réfugie, on s’invite

Tendre la main à travers les vagues

Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites

Lorsqu’on abandonne et que la mer déborde

Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive

Tendre la main à travers les vagues

On a bâti un monde concurrentiel

Un monde où pour les riches tout s’achète, tout se chiffre

On a voulu l'économie à grande échelle

Prétendant libérer nous n’avons fait qu’agrandir les chaines

En effet le problème de l’Europe dans laquelle je suis né c’est qu’elle commet

des erreurs

Mais ne les reconnaît et fait semblant d’en ignorer les séquelles

À travers les vagues, je vois les visages des enfants qui se demandent pourquoi

s’en aller?

Pourquoi y aller?

They want to come round and control

We put up their barriers and borders so they can hold we

But who made them the judge and the jury?

A game you a play whether you chose him or chose me

So many in poverty, I can’t believe when I see people sleep on the street

And enough of them a flee to protect their family from the financial war you a

keep

Quand la faucheuse frappe à toutes les portes du village

Attendre son tour pour gagner de nouveaux rivages

Partir à tout prix, affronter les mauvais présages

Y a-t-il un espoir au-delà des barrages?

Quand on laisse les nôtres périr au large

Notre dignité sombre dans les larmes

Comment peut-on se regarder et rire aux larmes?

Quand se jouent sous nos yeux tous ces drames

Open the border let we cross

And give a message to your boss

Every man has the right to make a living

Every child has the right to survive

And you know sey you get what you giving

Let we cross and stay alive

On n’a pas les mêmes chances et on n’a pas les mêmes limites

Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?

Où sont les frontières?

On se réfugie, on s’invite

Tendre la main à travers les vagues

Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites

Lorsqu’on abandonne et que la mer déborde

Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive

Tendre la main à travers les vagues

If the borders are closed, we swim

Oh my brother tell them

We are destined to brave the storm

We are all citizens of the world so shoot it

We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits

Who picks the deal when we're selected?

Where are the borders?

We take refuge, we invite each other

Reaching out through the waves

In the face of violence we've all reached our limits

When we give up and the sea overflows

She takes with her our drifting humanity

Reaching out through the waves

By what right, in the name of what law can we deny them what we offer ourselves to

ourselves?

If it was me, if it was you, we'd do the same of course we'd shout at

ugly

What one sees through the waves, are only the reflection, the mirror of

ourselves

By what right, in the name of what law can we deny them what we offer ourselves to

ourselves?

Hold on!

May I ask a question?

What if weh we see is just part of a plan?

Deceive divide put man against man

Play with the anger a di population

Financial empire love situation

New slave masses from di next piece a land

Ask yourself who benefit from this, who mek money from this?

Then who cyan get rid of this?

And we count the victims, just another listing

Like anonymous faces

But who are the victims, who lengthen these listings?

Wide, marginal, but dignified look

No matter the risks, no matter how you go

When the plate is empty there is only hope that makes you survive

What's the justice if you can't choose your future?

When all our sons, our brothers are ready to choose the worst

All they got is bombs and soldiers inna kaki suit

We see the people starving them while Babylon is looting

They sell the guns so the war can't cool

Haffi clear up the problem from the root

They run away with no paper

Open your door Mother Earth is our shelter

Find us for the sake of one and others

Beyond the borders

We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits

Who picks the deal when we're selected?

Some a still smile and yet dem suffering inna silence

Walk pon di white sand then pass thru a tight fence

No wonda why the I stand fi unity and guidance

In the desert I have no choice

In front of me and the sea I have nothing

Me I evolve telling myself you don't want me

I have the color of misery they told me without emotion

So don't give a fuck we gon' risk our lives

I don't need your advice and all your opinions

Life is fifty-fifty we all have notice

If it's necessary to save all mine fuck death here is my life

We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits

We take refuge, we invite each other

Reaching out through the waves

In the face of violence we've all reached our limits

When we give up and the sea overflows

She takes with her our drifting humanity

Reaching out through the waves

We built a competitive world

A world where for the rich everything can be bought, everything can be calculated

We wanted the economy on a large scale

Pretending to liberate we only widened the chains

Indeed the problem of the Europe in which I was born is that it commits

errors

But does not recognize them and pretends to ignore the consequences

Through the waves I see the faces of children wondering why

leave?

Why go there?

They want to come round and control

We put up their barriers and borders so they can hold we

But who made them the judge and the jury?

A game you a play whether you chose him or chose me

So many in poverty, I can't believe when I see people sleep on the street

And enough of them a flee to protect their family from the financial war you a

keep

When the grim reaper knocks on all the doors of the village

Waiting your turn to reach new shores

Leaving at all costs, facing bad omens

Is there hope beyond the dams?

When we let ours perish offshore

Our dignity sinks in tears

How can we look at each other and laugh to tears?

When all these dramas play out before our eyes

Open the border let we cross

And give a message to your boss

Every man has the right to make a living

Every child has the right to survive

And you know sey you get what you give

Let we cross and stay alive

We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits

Who picks the deal when we're selected?

Where are the borders?

We take refuge, we invite each other

Reaching out through the waves

In the face of violence we've all reached our limits

When we give up and the sea overflows

She takes with her our drifting humanity

Reaching out through the waves
