Histoires vraies [English translation]

Chorus (Corneille):

Every face we touch

Every stranger on the road

All these hopes formulated in doubt

It's a little of all those things that writes history

Eh

It's a little of all those things

Eh

We're made out of all those things

You know

Any truth has a good memory

Eh

Oh

Oh

You Know

Any truth has a good memory

Eh

Oh

Oh

I Know

Any truth has a good memory

Yeah

(Youssoupha)

I tell about overcome challenges

About misunderstood dreamers

The misery, the winters

The little brothers in jail

The deaths, the schools

The excesses, the alcohols

The machines, the roots

Of Martin and Malcolm

The tounqueurs1, the palaces

The crushes, the palavers

The alleys, the most beautiful ones

The lights of Paris2

Those ready for love, the bad boys

The burqa, the guilty

The 2Pacs and Biggys

The absentees, the sighs

The accents, the smiles

The barbarians, the bazaars

The fights, the laughs

The dirty offenses

The funny times, the battles

The ransoms, the tensions

Michael's songs

Only true stories

[Chorus]

I tell about the future, the hours pass

The luxuries, the burglars

The nasty, the vicious

The riots in the 93rd3

The bourgeois, the poor

The blows below the belt, the rests

The dolls, the missed

Renaud's verses

The cops, the problems

The freestyle, the poems

The CDIstes, the strikers

The real lives of the bohemian

The clichés, the big loves

Those in the police records, the big bosses

The loves, the glamour

The heavy rap without the beat-box

The honors, the uneasiness

The joys, not feeling well

The rancor, the great hearts

The grandeur of the Maghreb

The colleagues, the potos

The concerts, the pogos

The softness, the pain

The colors of the Togo

(Only true stories)

[Chorus]

I tell about the heart, the land

The sisters, the mothers

Only true stories

I tell about the joy, the tears

The hopes, the fears

Only true stories

Only true stories

I tell about the women, the faults

The ones, the others

Only true stories

I tell about the street, the sky

The moon, the dreams

Only true stories

[Chorus]

1. I actually have no idea what 'tounqueurs' means, it's probably a word used in France but not here in Canada. Sorry 'bout that.2. 'Paname' is slang for 'Paris'.3. French Department 93, where the Clichy-sous-Bois riots took place.
