Les Nubians - Solide

[awomanwonderful]

I prefer the early 1990's and them signing in French...even though I speak fluent English I understand some of what they sing. Bonjour!

[EmpressSakama16]

Ahhhh Super!

[butterflies70]

[89ALPRINCE]

i saw that at LA live last night

[RunawayTrane]

pleasing to the eye as well as to the ear

[coccinelsucrer]

Oh and, what is their ethnic background? Elle sont de quelle origine ?

[Atiiy]

look up this name " Nubia"

[Gogoleila]

@coccinelsucrer They are cameroonian. Elles sont cammerounaises...

[coccinelsucrer]

J'adore cette chanson...

[opiniatedhumanitaria]

j'ecoute ce groupe tres longtemps et ces jolies ames deviennent de plus en plus fantastiques comme du bon vin bien que je ne bois pas lol

[Hyades81]

This is amazing! Their moves are so cameroonian, I love that! they are actually doing a local dance in the video...

Les Nubians are so great, so beautiful, so talented. I'm so proud of them, so proud of beeing Cameroonian.

Go on sisters! You are the best!

[gogounited]

How can we change it? I believe we have the courage if we but knew the means. So many are blind and others are afraid to speak up.

May our Creator help us all, I'm sorry we shat upon the world. Pray for us, there are FEMA camps going up everywhere: Operation Garden Plot.

Help to wake us up in any way you can. It's not only America that needs you, humankind needs you. Speak up if you have the voice and the opportunity.

The illuminati are here, but they came from you. We all go down.

[gogounited]

America is run by the very few elite, and to the detriment of the world entirely. The American people have been duped and are subjected to mind control progams like MK-Ultra and propoganda of the worst kind. Television programming here is full of subliminal messages and music is backmasked.

The outlay of Washington D.C. and it's entire streetmap structure is a pentagram. This country is run by freemasons, we are not and have never been free. They are dumbing us down and we are allowing it.

[oh2dawhat]

Elles ont les voix d'un ange. Superbe!

[artesdualem]

Essas duas são realmente maravilhosas...talentosas lindas e muito simpaticas....estiveram no Brasil e mandaram muito bem......sou fã.......tudo de bom.....

[REDRUMMURDER]

its all relevant... sifting certain people out to keep other people ahead... its fucked up

[inloven]

Cest très beau, et très juste ce que vous dites dans cette chanson(surtout la citation de la fin..)....car le monde entier doit savoir les vraies raisons des choses qui se passent!!

[CHAMPAGNECHERIE]

Super!!! Weiter so!!!! Sie sind besondere Schwestern!!! Ich bin froh Kameruner zu sein!!!

[XNakisisaX]

my sisters, my sisters.....

[marbanka]

Translation, part 2:

Sister, what is your look like?

It's sad when I think about it. The mountains of concrete/beton, my prison is immense, I breath by the power of attorney.

Am I the child [...?] of the nation?

And everything shines in the city but not in peoples' hearts

[.....?] it's ugly, there's no place for me here.

And I run, run (don't forget about it)

And I run run...

As u can see some parts are missing :( Help!

[marbanka]

Translation, part 1:

Tell me your story, sister.

My story starts somewhere, right in the nightmare. My stomach is empty, I walk with no shoes. I hear the bombs and I speed up.

The breath of life takes/pushes me forward.

And I run, run. And I run, run.

Have to survive, stay solid/strong and not to forget it. Even if the world is perfidious/treacherous, play with it again/more, throw the dice, stay clear-sighted.

What goes down shall come up.

If you see any mistakes - let me know!

[marbanka]

Just to let you know - some things are rather difficult to translate but I think the hole idea of the song is quiet clear. I'll try to translate the 2nd part as well, but it's more difficult than the 1st one :(

[marbanka]

Of course, I meant the "WHOLE" idea

[gogounited]

Thank you so much for your translation! It is a truly beautiful and poingnant song.

Greetings from enslaved America.

[hublo3]

Nous les canadiens, nous aimons les Nubians!

[REDRUMMURDER]

Beautiful music. I just wish i wasn't ignorant in so many languages, a huge fault in American education.

[liajames971]

learn to speak french!! no it's a joke! i m trying to do a translation!

[lachiflera]

Now now...that argument can only go so far. If you really wanted to learn another language you would.

[REDRUMMURDER]

if i had the money to i would, but i dont... so, umm?... lol, im from the USA education is overpriced, you know why? so that certain people will get certain levels of education to sift out others, and keep capitalist balance its a fucking scheme... if i were brought up in the european system then yes i would know many languages by now, but america is built on selfishness and greed, more than goodwill and truth.. just look at our health care system and insurance companies here then look at canada

[deionc]

i understand what you mean..but you cant let the lack of money get in your way...you gotta have priorities. or set up a savings plan to save enough money to take a class or buy rosetta stone.( thats what im doing..) also, you could go to the library and get a lanuage book (its a start!)

[REDRUMMURDER]

yeah rosetta stone is really good

[oh2dawhat]

Gosh that's really scary and Australia is heading that way, we are a commonwealth like Canada and England but we are heading towards like America. The public health system is shoking here...people getting brain injuries and dying due to careless negligent nurses mistakes here it's really fucked up..this world is coming to, I duno man it's sad.

[lachiflera]

You don't need to go to school for that. Trust me.

[wfs000]

Time to go to Europe man.

[rococoloco83]

marry chrismas the good news of today your healthcare system seems going to be changed ;) i hope its not only fake but real. for you guys ... greetings from europe!

[artsymae]

@REDRUMMURDER that is sooo true, I always use to wish i was raised in another country with great education systems, because many other countries, their children learn so many different languages. I listen to all kinds of music and I totally don't know what they are saying. lol

[slowFlowOnline]

@REDRUMMURDER I agree! At least the internet allowed for a quick translation... the message at 4:05 loosely translates to: "Increased migration is, in short, neither a chance nor the fault of black Africa, poor and corrupt, but one of the tragic consequences of the violence of the dominant economic order."

[ethwubit22]

likemba u may be right, because we love them here in the states. Im sure they would get a great reception in Africa aswell.  I love their music, its so different, so peaceful and calming and the message is always poignant and good. Even though I often have to translate the lyrics cause of my rusty french. lol.

[juanansi]

tres emouvant comme opus. message fort et penetrant.

me yega we, Nubians!! (vous yahez la galere de nos freres et soeurs...

[mimiflore]

Salut, les Nubians!

vous vous souvenez de moi?

Marie-Flore... de la MVC St Etienne de Bayonne.

Ca fait longtemps XD

Depuis Février...

Je devais aller en concert avec vous et d'autres de vos élèves à Bordeaux... je devais même chanter une chanson en japonnais de Otsuka Ai qui s'appelait Planetarium.

Mais j'avais pas pu.

Hélène, j'espère que tu vas revenir nous donner des cours!!!!!! Bisou!

Marie-Flore

(je ne suis pas sur que le message vous arrivera)^^

[gammapsi48]

I am a huge fan of Les Nubians, but I regret that I don't speak French to understand the lyrics. Just need to learn.

[josephineb81]

I'm French and their lyrics are poetry, a pure beauty! I wish the whole world could hear and understand them! They're great and from Bordeaux like me!

[brihna]

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!!!

Ou ont-elles fait ce video? Que c'est magnifique la talent dans ce video!

I love the message in the song. It's the Nubians as we know them best!!!

[Bootakill]

From BOOTAKILL to France

[JaiMaJames]

VERY SWEET

THANKS !

[RollDeep1000]

Nice to see they have not sold out to the glitz of the entertainment biz,,,,i might want to buy this album,,,,,im still not over their first one though that was amazing.

[eastbann]

Je pense que c'est une chanson émouvante!

Les Nubians n'ont cessé de se renforcer.

I love the urban feel of the video with the grafitti backgroud as well.

[esjay27]

I love them!

Yet another wonderful song.
