Paroles et traduction Bernard Lavilliers - Ringard pour le reggae

Ringard pour le reggae

Tu voudrais hurler mais t'es queen
Tu voudrais être in, t'es has been
Tu voudrais mordre mais tu lèches
Tu voudrais déchirer, tu caresses
Tu voudrais cogner mais tu mouilles
Tu voudrais dénoncer, tu magouilles
Tu voudrais t'éclater mais la mèche est mouillée

T'es un ringard pour le reggae
T'es un zonard qu'a des papiers
T'es un loubard des beaux quartiers
Rock and roll et parfum anglais
Allez vas-y

Tu voudrais sauter mais t'es smoke
Soit dans la ville ou soit dans la coke
Tu voudrais braquer mais tu racles
Tu voudrais danser mais tu craques
Tu voudrais partir, tu dérapes
Tu voudrais mourir et tu claques
Tu voudrais t'éclater mais la mèche est mouillée

T'es un ringard pour le reggae
T'es un zonard qu'a des papiers
T'es un loubard des beaux quartiers
Rock and roll et parfum anglais
Allez encore

Tu voudrais vivre, tu fonctionnes
Tu voudrais suivre, tu t'cramponnes
Tu voudrais aimer, tu adores
Tu voudrais dévorer, tu picores
Tu voudrais être Cream and the Square
Tu voudrais Marylin mais c'est cher

Tu voudrais des pavés mais tout est moquetté
Y a des patins sous tes idées
Y a des strass sur tes croix gammées
T'es un kid de l'avenue Mozart
Un Hell's Angel de la rue Mouffetard

T'es un ringard pour le reggae
T'es un zonard qu'a des papiers
T'es un loubard des beaux quartiers
Rock and roll et parfum anglais
Allez, coucher

Poser For Reggae

You want to scream but you're a queen
You want to be in, you're has been
You want to bite but you lick
You want to tear, you caress
You want to hit but you wet
You want to denounce, you cheat
You want to have fun but the wick is wet

You're a poser for reggae
You're a stoner with papers
You're a hoodlum from the nice neighborhoods
Rock and roll and English perfume
Come on

You want to jump but you're stoned
Either in the city or on the coke
You want to rob but you scrape
You want to dance but you crack
You want to leave, you skid
You want to die and you crack
You want to have fun but the wick is wet

You're a poser for reggae
You're a stoner with papers
You're a hoodlum from the nice neighborhoods
Rock and roll and English perfume
Come on again

You want to live, you function
You want to follow, you cling
You want to love, you adore
You want to devour, you peck
You want to be Cream and the Square
You want Marylin but it's expensive

You want cobblestones but everything is carpeted
There are skates under your ideas
There are rhinestones on your swastikas
You're a kid from Mozart Avenue
A Hell's Angel from Mouffetard Street

You're a poser for reggae
You're a stoner with papers
You're a hoodlum from the nice neighborhoods
Rock and roll and English perfume
Come on, go to bed
