KLUB DES LOOSERS - Sous le signe du V [English Subtitles]

Translation of the song Sous Le Signe Du V by LE KLUB DES LOOSERS

----------LYRICS----------
Right from birth a Versailler knows he'll have to go far
For a start he needs to take a train to reach the capital
I grew up in this city build around a little hunting cabin
Where the weight of history reminds you that you have to disappear
To fit in the mold of really nice kids
Whose main hobbies are boy scouts and volunteer work
The social yoke is heavy, just like masturbation makes you deaf
That's what they were telling me over and over at Sunday school
A Versailler would never hurt anybody
It's impossible, deep inside he has too much respect for life
It's by living with them that I became
An ardent supporter of abortion and euthanasia
To know what a province town looked like in the '60s
No need to invent a time machine
Leaving from Paris you just need to take the right suburban train
I'm worried, all streets here seem to have a disease
I am no city doctor but I believe it's boredom

Chorus
Born under the sign of V, under the sign of V (x2)

My town may not be hip-hop but it does feature several taggers
The most present is undoubtedly the one who signs everywhere "long live the King"
There's also "France: love it or leave it" but his style is way more has-been
There's nothing to do at night, apart from going for drink on the market plaza
If Francois' parents go out, a squat party will be organized
We'll drink a few 40s listening to rock and smoking joints
There won't be any girls but alcohol and drugs are a good start
As we are rebels without causes since money took them away from us
Some even live in trucks and play techno in the forest
And each youngster has in his dresser a Che Guevara T-shirt
Even if most are unable to explain who he was
Locked in their bedrooms Jean-Benoit and Nicolas listen to Pink Floyd
Dreaming about starting a rock band so that they can make a living out of their music
But lost between the three avenues they hear the city whisper
That a real job is architect or math professor

Chorus

All firmly believe they're part of an educated elite
However they all cut lines at the baker's or the farmer's market
I don't know any other place where 40-year old women still wear velour headbands
Wait for the 12th child and go to confession every day
By the way a lot of people met our Lord Jesus here
I have been walking these streets, no luck I have never seen him
Marie-Charlotte would like to have me believe she's got a few dark-skinned friends
But it's only Pierre and Louis who got a tan at their posh seaside resort
In the municipal library time seems to have stopped
Which doesn't prevent anyone to study for upper class universities
Strangely, there are a few things no one talks about around here
Like the number of college students who commit suicide during their freshman year
Anything can be said about 9-11
For me it's Versaillers who wanted to attract their parents' attention
I could leave for 20 years nothing will have changed when I come back
Whatever happens being born under the sign of V is part of me.

Chorus

Je traduis Dead Hip Hop, sa se passe bien...

[NightmareTheater]

Je te souhaite bien du courage. Traduire les métaphores filées de Fuzzatti, c'est vraiment chaud (quoique y'a pire... J'ai tenté Lunatic, c'est complètement intraduisible... Ce qui n'enlève rien a la difficulté de traduire le Klub).

Bonne chance en tout cas :)

[lvds2001]

this guy nails it, down, hard. french hip hop (please don't say intelligent) not dead

un an de prépa à v, ça ne s'oublie pas - j'aurais pu mal tourner!

[nicolestobbart75]

Ben dis donc, joli tour de force de traduire ça en anglais, surtout que la fine plume de Fuzati est riche en subtilités, alors pour retranscrire tout ça en anglais, c'est pas d'la tarte...

[robkijktmee]

[Strife013]
