Welcome Gorby [English translation]

He was not born the guy who will make me

Say that I have tenderness for kings

Or for leaders

They all deserve, in history

The wrath of my black ink

But Gorbachev

Is a great little guy

Against whom I have yet

No grievances

No one deserved more than him

The Nobel Prize for Shortage

And brokeness

Welcome Gorby, welcome here

Where we are numerous, I think

A friend of mine and also me

To hope

What are you going to come with your tanks

Free us

You knocked down the Berlin wall

If you don't know what to do with the concrete blocks

For your guidance

There is room here, my friend

Around all ministries

All barracks

It will prevent the plebs

One day hang all these nutcases

At the lamp post

Although for once it would be fair

To contemplate these poor sods

The face at half mast

Here there are chains to break

Start with TV channels

It would be swish !

That you rid us a little

Of this "Big Brother" of my balls

I trust you

You can also liquidate

Puke-worthy FM radios

That rock us

From our hydrocephalic singers

And their fecal poetry

The indigence

Welcome Gorby, welcome here

Where we are numerous, I think

A friend of mine and also me

To hope

What are you going to come with your tanks

Free us

Welcome Gorby, welcome here

Where we are, I think

A friend of mine and then me

To hope

What do you have with your tanks

Surely wouldn't want to stay

He was not born the guy who will make me

To say that I have tenderness for kings

Or for the chefs

You all deserve it in history

The lightnings of my black ink

But Gorbachev

Is a great little guy

Against whom I have not yet

No grievances

No one deserved more than him

The Nobel Prize for Shortage

And fishing

Welcome Gorby, welcome here

Where we are, I think

A friend of mine and pi me

To hope

What are you going to come with your tanks

Deliver us

You knocked down the Berlin wall

If you don't know what to make concrete blocks

For your guidance

There's room here, my cushy

Around all ministries

All barracks

It will prevent the populo

One day we hang all these barjots

At the lantern

Although for once it would be fair

To contemplate these poor claims

The face at half mast

Here there are chains to break

Start with TV channels

It would be Byzantium

That you rid us a little

Of this "Big Brother" of my two

I trust you

You can also liquidate

FM radios to stack

Who rock us

From our hydrocephalic singers

And their fecal poetry

All the indigence

Welcome Gorby, welcome here

Where we are numerous, I think

A friend of mine and also me

To hope

That you're gonna come with your tanks

Sweep everything

You can build, if you come

Some gulags on the banks of the Seine

Urgently

Here is a packet of pests

That blow our consciousness

Fuses

BHL and Foucault

Not the philosopher, no, the other idiot

Dorothée

Very nice, BTW

I would say more exactly

Very dense

Welcome Gorby, welcome here

Where we are numerous, I think

A friend of mine and also me

To hope

You're gonna come shut the face

To these half-wits

We have here, it's very practical

Some psychiatric hospitals

That you can empty

To fill them with psychoanalysts

MPs, journalists

And the Musclés

It's gonna be a hell of a job

But if you want collaborators

Don't be afraid

You know, apart from my audience

In every Frenchman lies a cop

You just have to draw

If you are tired of communism

I'm not telling you about capitalism

It's so dope

How we are manipulated

Intoxicated, on files, manipulated

By these assholes

Come and contemplate our idols

They are a little bit more rock and roll

Than your Lenin

Bernard Tapie and Anne Sinclair

'With that you'll understand our misery

Is legit

Welcome Gorby, welcome here

Where we are numerous, I think

A friend of mine and also me

To hope

That you will come to eliminate

Our motherfuckers

Welcome Gorby, welcome here

Where we are numerous, I think

A friend of mine and also me

To assume

That if you came with your tanks

Surely they wouldn't want to stay.
