Ma France à moi [English translation]

My France she talks loud ,she lives in dreams

She lives in group , talks about the country and dislikes rules

She doesnt go to school ,usually not to do anything

she plays soccer when its sunny and has usually coca in the flask

Its hip hop that makes dance on floors

Sometimes she likes some rock yes ,if the melody is sad

She smokes cigarets and some d’****, but never hard drug

Héroïne (a type of drogs), Cocaïne and crack means garbage

Usually in wars against administrations

Their mecanic BEP doesnt allow them to be a boss

So she struggles and sells sh*t to rich people ( rich girls )

But sh*t gives tto the mother somethin to eat , yeah

Because family is love and love is rarely found

She struggles to kick them

She has values , principles and codes

She sleeps early , cuz she spends all her nights on the phone

She seems lazy but inside her ,she doesnt lose time

Some are afraid of her cuz medias wanna show that she is dunce

And if my France gives values to itself its sure to reign better

She keeps her secrets and doesnt want to bleed .No...

{Refrain: x2}

Its not my France this deep France

the one (France)that we feel ashamed about and wants us to dive

My France doesnt live in lies

With heart and rage , in light , not in shadow

My France she talks with sms , works by msn

reconciles by mail and meet by MMS

She moves by skate ,by scooters or bolide

Basile Boli is a lie and Zinedine his synonym [ Zinedine Zidane the soccer player ]

She ,we musnt believe that we dislike her but that she keeps lying

Cuz our parents work since 20 years ago for the same salary

She gave us wings but the sky is VIP

No matter what they say ,she knows how to manage a company

She lives in the american way , KFC ,MTV base

Foot Locker ,Mac Do and 50 Cent

She , its some young guys playing basketball whenever they want

who (guys) dream to be Tony Parker on the wooden floor of Spurs

She , its some young women that get by between love,

Courses and muddles,

that (women) listen to Raï, RnB and Zouk

My France gets mixed up , yeah , its a rainbow

She bothers u ; I know , cuz she doesnt want u as an example

{au Refrain, x2}

My France , she gots halls and rooms where she shuts up

She is funny and Jamel Debbouze might be her brother

She repaints walls and trains cuz they are dull

She likes to have quarrels cuz they push her not to do anythin

She needs sport and to dance to evacuate

She goes until extrems of her madness and risks to get killed

But my France she lives , at least she laughs

and refuses to obey to this France that wants us to move

My France , its not theirs , that votes extrem

That banishes youngs , anti-rap on the FM

That thinks she is in Texas , that are afraid of our bands

That venerates Sarkozy ( the president now) , intolerant and annoying

That watches Julie Lescaut and regrets time of the « Choristes «

That leaves poors dying , and put her own parents in centers

No , my France its not theirs that celebrates « Le Beaujolais « ( its a wine )

And that pretends to have problems by immigrant’s arrival

That is full of racism but pretend to be openminded

This France hypocrite that is maybe under my window

That thinks that the police has always made a good job

That scrapes herself while she is watchin Laurent Gerra

No ,its not my France , this France deep

So maybe we bother but our values will defeat

And if we are citizens ,so get ready youth

My France will guide them ,until they respect us.
