Lyrics and translation Richard Bona - Allô Fokou

Allô Fokou

La vraie pandémie c′est Paul Pillard
38 ans de dictature, c'est fini
On ne peut plus parler
On ne peut plus crier
Il nous reste qu′une chose à faire
C'est d'appeler Fokou, oui papa

Allô Fokou
Envoie-leur des cordes
Allô Fokou
Fais tomber des cordes
Allô Fokou
Envoie-leur des cordes
Allô Fokou
Fais tomber des cordes

38 ans de règne, 38 ans de haine
Et à l′heure du bilan, ils nous sortent la haine
On aurait pu parler que de brûler des villages
Oh God pick up telephone and dial-up in for good
Send them the ropes

Allô Fokou (yeah, Fokou)
Envoie-leur des cordes (ces charognards)
Allô Fokou (qui étouffent les jeunes)
Fais tomber des cordes
Allô Fokou (yeah, yeah Fokou)
Envoie-leur des cordes (believe in peace and freedom)
Allô Fokou (yeah, yeah Fokou)
Fais tomber des cordes

Stand up, wake up, freedom
My heart is bleeding, oh Lord
Stand up, wake up, freedom
Lord and some people will sleep no more, oh Lord
Stand up, wake up, freedom

On ne veut plus pleurer
On ne va plus prier
Il nous reste une chose à faire
C′est d'appeler Fokou

Allô Fokou
Envoie-leur des cordes
Allô Fokou (Fokou)
Fais tomber des cordes
Allô Fokou (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Envoie-leur des cordes (yeah, fokou)
Allô Fokou (yeah, yeah Fokou)
Fais tomber des cordes (yeah, give it up, give it up)

Allô Fokou
Envoie-leur des cordes (yeah papa)
Allô Fokou (yeah, Fokou)
Fais tomber des cordes

Hey Fokou

The real pandemic is Paul Pillard
38 years of dictatorship, it's over
We can't speak anymore
We can't scream anymore
There's only one thing left for us to do
It's to call Fokou, yes daddy

Hey Fokou
Send them ropes
Hey Fokou
Drop some ropes
Hey Fokou
Send them ropes
Hey Fokou
Drop some ropes

38 years of reign, 38 years of hate
And at the time of the assessment, they bring out the hatred
We could have only talked about burning villages
Oh God pick up telephone and dial-up in for good
Send them the ropes

Hey Fokou (yeah, Fokou)
Send them ropes (these scavengers)
Hey Fokou (who suffocate young people)
Drop some ropes
Hey Fokou (yeah, yeah Fokou)
Send them ropes (believe in peace and freedom)
Hey Fokou (yeah, yeah Fokou)
Drop some ropes

Stand up, wake up, freedom
My heart is bleeding, oh Lord
Stand up, wake up, freedom
Lord and some people will sleep no more, oh Lord
Stand up, wake up, freedom

We don't want to cry anymore
We're not going to pray anymore
There's one thing left for us to do
It's to call Fokou

Hey Fokou
Send them ropes
Hey Fokou (Fokou)
Drop some ropes
Hey Fokou (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Send them ropes (yeah, fokou)
Hey Fokou (yeah, yeah Fokou)
Drop some ropes (yeah, give it up, give it up)

Hey Fokou
Send them ropes (yeah daddy)
Hey Fokou (yeah, Fokou)
Drop some ropes
