Bernard Lavilliers nord sud

Select language to translate this lyric

In the middle of the jungle I sang about love and filth
For a few joints, sun, rum and passes
I had music under my nails
And my tongue hung open
I let the world get excited
At the bottom of my lost valley
Listen carefully to what I'm telling you
I'm not from the North, I'm from here
It's not really paradise
I know what I want and what I say
Love me or leave me
The arms dealer told them
Sing this well guy
I'll give you some guns on credit
And I'll get away with it
No time to finish my song
Let this old rat point at me
I'll stay alone on the screen
Where batons whistle
Love me or leave me
So listen to me everything always works out
Even...badly
The worn out lights of Metropolis
The failed cowboys are in the police
This old world is going to die
This old world is crumbling
State of emergency exceptional
Stop the massacre
You broke my fingers say
Let me die or leave say
I'll go back on what I said (ah no)
Love me or leave me
I killed the crocodile that followed in my footsteps
I plucked it, boned it and ate it on the spot
Freedom you have no price
But for anxiety it's free
I won't go back on what I say
Love me or leave me
