Scala & Kolacny Brothers - Clandestino

Album: Respire
Released: November 4, 2004
Video: 2005

Clandestino is a song by Manu Chao - a French singer who sings in seven different languages - one of which is Spanish. This song is about a lone rebel traveling the world while running from authorities (living "off the grid"). This Scala video, unlike many of their others, is not representative of the song - except perhaps for the opening in which they break into the dance hall. Instead, we get to see the fun side of Scala. Enjoy!

-- Lyrics (translated from Spanish) --

Alone I go with my sorrow
Alone goes my sentence
To run is my destiny
To escape the law
Lost in the heart of the great Babylon
They call me
clandestine
For not having any papers

To a city of the north
I went to work
I left my life
Between Ceuta and
Gibraltar
Im a line in the sea
A ghost in the city
My life is forbidden
So says the authority

Alone I go with my sorrow
Alone goes my sentence
To run is my destiny
For having no papers
Lost in the heart
Of the great Babylon
They call me clandestine
Im the lawbreaker

Black Hand clandestine
Peruvian clandestine
African clandestine
Marihuana illegal

Alone I go with my sorrow
Alone goes my sentence
To run is my destiny
To escape the law
Lost in the heart of the great Babylon
They call me
clandestine
For not having any papers

Algerian, Clandestine
Nigerian, Clandestine
Bolivian, Clandestine
Black Hand, Illegal

monsieur ronwesley ... manu chao is from spain^^

[ronwesley]

Actually, he was born in Paris, France and didn't move to Spain until 1995. So, he is a French singer :-)

[ronwesley]

Actually, he (or she) is saying the song is fantastic (estupendo). Stupid in Spanish would be estupido.

Sehr schön gesungen. Aber das Video passt überhaupt nicht zum Text !!

[SuperMarcoau]

Schön.........Ja Das Lied Ist Auch Schön :)

[0Leonmind0]

In the translation when they say "Black Hand" actually they say "Mano Negra" and this is the name of the band where Manu Chao was before doing this first solo song... so you don't have to translate those words ^^
