Lyrics and translation Zebda - Taslima

Taslima

Ne casse pas ce cordon qu′on dit vital(-tal)
Ne soit pas fade, ne soit pas radicale (-cale)
Même si les mecs et les hamacs (macs)
Sont à mettre dans le même sac
(Ils tissent) Et tu dis que c'est pas du coton
(Des tissus) Des tissus que les meufs auraient sur le front
C′est à croire que tous ces imbéciles
Ont le souci de l'industrie textile

Avant d'être il faut bien être issu (issu)
Et l′histoire vaut bien tous les tissus (plus)
Mais trop gourmands trop filous ou trop fiers (yeah)
C′est les rois de la fermeture éclair

Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don′t worry
Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don′t worry

Toi on veut te voir creuser la terre
(Trouver des secrets) Trouver des secrets, avant qu'on nous enterre
Même si le progrès pour les hommes
C′est cueillir des cerises en automne

(On n'veut pas) que tu deviennes un uniforme
(Met un coup) d'épaule à celles qui dorment
(Le soleil) se lèverait pas pour des prunes
Si un jour tu pouvais nous décrocher la lune

C′est à croire que le tout de leurs (priorités)
C′est le souci, avant tout, de la (pilosité)
Moi je vois le tableau que t'esquisses
Une fenêtre ouverte sur la vie métisse

Taslima don′t wo-wo
Taslima don't worry
Taslima don′t wo-wo
Taslima don't worry

Au passage y z′aiment pas les fenêtres
C'est pas des amoureux des chiffres et des lettres
Ils tissent les paupières et rideaux (hu)
Ils z'ont comme outil que des ciseaux

(Ils tissent) Ils tissent et tu dis que c′est pas du nylon
(Des tissus) Des tissus qu′ils trouvent jamais assez longs
Et c'est vous dire si tous ces imbéciles
Ont une idée qui ne tient qu′à un fil

Tous ces adeptes fanatiques des machines à coudre
Dans la tête des poux, des gmoels, des tiques mais pas la foudre
Et les cons qui leurs prêtent main-forte
Parlapapa, on peut dire qu'ils sont short

Tasli don′t worry, Tasli don't worry
Taslima, Taslima
Tasli don′t worry
Tasli don't worry, Tasli don't worry
Taslima, Taslima
Tasli don′t worry

(Docteur ou ingénieur) De toutes façons
(Docteur ou ingénieur) Si t′apprends tes leçons
(Docteur ou ingénieur) De toutes façons
(Docteur, tu seras docteur)

Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don′t worry
Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don′t worry
Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don′t worry
Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don't worry

Tous ces bourrins sont des mulets (Taslima don′t wo-wo), c′est des têtes à claques
C'est pour ça qu′ils veulent brûler l'école et la Fac (Taslima don′t worry)
Nous on s'en tamponne on aime le Raï et le Rap (Taslima don′t wo-wo)
Si on a que des mots c'est notre force de frappe (Taslima don't worry)
Qu′importe les couteaux si on tient le cap (Taslima don′t wo-wo)
Faudra qu'un jour tous ces ballots nous lâchent la grappe (Taslima don′t worry)
Faudra qu'un jour tous ces ballots nous lâchent la grappe (Taslima don′t wo-wo)
Taslima don't worry

Taslima

Don't break that cord they call vital (-tal)
Don't be bland, don't be radical (-cale)
Even if the guys and the hammocks (macs)
Are to be put in the same bag
(They weave) And you say it's not cotton
(Fabrics) Fabrics that the girls would have on their foreheads
It's as if all these imbeciles
Are concerned about the textile industry

Before being, one must be born (issu)
And history is worth all the fabrics (more)
But too greedy, too sly, or too proud (yeah)
They're the kings of the zipper

Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don't worry
Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don't worry

We want to see you dig the earth
(Find secrets) Find secrets, before we are buried
Even if progress for men
Is to pick cherries in autumn

(We don't want) you to become a uniform
(Give a nudge) to those who are sleeping
(The sun) wouldn't rise for plums
If one day you could bring us down the moon

It's as if the whole of their (priorities)
Is the concern, above all, of (hairiness)
I see the picture you're sketching
A window open onto the mixed-race life

Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don't worry
Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don't worry

By the way, they don't like windows
They're not lovers of numbers and letters
They weave eyelids and curtains (hu)
Their only tool is scissors

(They weave) They weave and you say it's not nylon
(Fabrics) Fabrics they never find long enough
And that tells you if all these imbeciles
Have an idea that hangs by a thread

All these fanatical followers of sewing machines
In their heads, lice, gmoels, ticks, but not lightning
And the idiots who lend them a hand
Parlapapa, we can say they're short

Tasli don't worry, Tasli don't worry
Taslima, Taslima
Tasli don't worry
Tasli don't worry, Tasli don't worry
Taslima, Taslima
Tasli don't worry

(Doctor or engineer) Anyway
(Doctor or engineer) If you learn your lessons
(Doctor or engineer) Anyway
(Doctor, you will be a doctor)

Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don't worry
Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don't worry
Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don't worry
Taslima don't wo-wo
Taslima don't worry

All these brutes are mules (Taslima don't wo-wo), they're slap-heads
That's why they want to burn down the school and the university (Taslima don't worry)
We don't care, we love Raï and Rap (Taslima don't wo-wo)
If we only have words, it's our strike force (Taslima don't worry)
No matter the knives if we stay the course (Taslima don't wo-wo)
One day all these idiots will have to get off our backs (Taslima don't worry)
One day all these idiots will have to get off our backs (Taslima don't wo-wo)
Taslima don't worry
