Petit frère [English translation]

Little brother has only one wish, grow up

That's why he persists to become wild from 10 years old

Become an adult, with the TV news as a guide

And slug the disagreers (1)

In the past, when big brother was a kid

It was sheer madness with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

Now the dwarves have kicked Snow White out and hit

And beat up guys like in Mortal Kombat

At 13 he already loves money, greedy

But his pockets are empty so he acts like a big boss

in the dancing parties, that have now become celebrations, no more syrup

Little brother wants beers

I don't think it was intentional, but adults - that's for sure -

Indirectly showed that harming was a good thing

Tomorrow his exercice books will be full of deletions

Little brother smokes spliffs and break cars

(chorus)

Little brother doesn't go to playgrounds anymore

He still toddles yet wants seven league boot

Little brother wants grow up too fast

But he's forgotten that vain is running, little brother

Little brother dreams about big cars, clothes and dough

About a reputation of bad boy, for all of those, he'd steal the moon

He commits fellony after fellony without caring

About the harm he's done, while asking for respect

He doesn't care much about what tomorrow will bring

About giving certain people reasons to despise him

In his head the cathode ray tube

Smothered the vibrations of the African drums

No more school bag, he wouldn't know what to do with it

He doesn't play marbles anymore, he wanna play guns (2)

Little brother threw his toy soldiers away to become a warrior

and think about the loot he'll amass

(chorus)

Journalists make fashions, school violence already existed

When I was young there were rackets, punch-ups and damages

The teachers' windshields were also broken with baseball bats

They were getting muddled with cutters

But speaking about it in the newsbroadcast becomes usual

It prints in the retina like a normal situation

And if little brother wants to make the news

He only has to imitate what he saw before 8:30 pm

Damn, in the 80's it was a fact but now

Those journalists made the normality out of it

And I don't think that little brother is worse than before

Only overexposed to publicity and violence

For the older, the kids are the best lemon

The number one target for market products

And to be sure that he obtains it

Little brother secures himself with a gun at the belt

They know who you are when they see what you possess

Little brother knows it, and keeps that fact in mind

Money would open a gate to heaven for him

As easily as his screwdriver opens car doors

Grandstanding is all he desires

It looks better, when you wear a Giorgio Armani

Worried about how people see him

In spite of his young age, little brother smokes to appear older

He would take the fortune highway

and doesn't realize that he can lose his shirt

he's only out of his egg

and already little brother wanna be bigger than a steer
