Bohème

Si y té sav ka i te rivé
I pa té jan kite ti kaz é fanmi ay
Vle découvè pawi
Ay vwé sa ki la vi
Yo promet li lajen épi an bel twavay
Me sa i pa té vwé rive se ké i te fin exilé
Kompwann vi Ay ké bel lew vwé i kite bastè
I pa sa touché tè

La boheme la boheme
Sa té vlé di
Yo ni vintan
La boheme la boheme
Sa te vlé di
Yo tout ensanm

Le i vwè desanm rivé
I pa janmé sonjé ké i te fé Noël tout sel ouais
Vlé ritouné bastè
Pou y arêté pren fè
Té vlé di fanmi ay ki jan i ka vwè mizé
Me fièwtè ay pli bèl
Adan bondyé i ka kwè
Fo pas i mété pléré
A tè pou tout moun sav
Ki jan vi Ay vin rèd

La boheme la boheme
Sé bèl pwomess
Ké yo té fè
La boheme la boheme
Yo viv san cesse
An lan mizè

Fowmation ay fini
Sé avé on ticket metwo
Yo diy ay cheche twavay
San mem soucie la viy
I pa ni ayen pou di
Yen ki sibi fwadi
Pa mem ni on manteau
Asi si zepol ay pou i pé rechofé kè ay
Poukwa yo manti bay
Ka senti li trayi
I pa meme envi viv

La boheme la boheme
Yo té ka ri pas yo té ka sanm
La boheme la boheme
La fèt pou yo se té on simen

I fin pa touvé on nonm ki té à mizi ay
On boug solid ki vwè mizè osi tout' vi ay
Yon an bwa a lot yo té ka senti yo béni
Yo té ka révé rouviré ensanm o péyi
Entre temps peyi la changé kadans
Yo pa kompwenn i ta ja chanjé aparans
Gadé à moun ja press ké rann yo pawano
Ka fè yo senti yo etwanjé an kaz a yo (hummm hummm)

La boheme la boheme
Yo té jen oui yo te fou
La boheme la boheme
Sa pa vlé di ayen di tou

(La la la la la la...)

Je vous parle d'un temps
Que les moins de vingt ans
Ne peuvent pas connaître
Montmartre en ce temps-là
Accrochait ses lilas
Jusque sous nos fenêtres
Et si l'humble garni
Qui nous servait de nid
Ne payait pas de mine
C'est là qu'on s'est connu
Moi qui criais famine
Et toi qui posais nue

La bohême, la bohême
Ça voulait dire
On est heureux
La bohême, la bohême
Nous ne mangions qu'un jour sur deux.

Dans les cafés voisins
Nous étions quelques-uns
Qui attendions la gloire
Et bien que miséreux
Avec le ventre creux
Nous ne cessions d'y croire
Et quand quelques bistrots
Contre un bon repas chaud
Nous prenaient une toile
Nous récitions des vers
Groupés autour du poële
En oubliant l'hiver

La bohême, la bohême
Ça voulait dire
Tu es jolie
La bohême, la bohême
Et nous avions tous du génie.

Bohème

If you knew what would happen
You would have never left your family home
Wanting to discover the world
You wanted to see what life was like
They promised you money and a good job
But that's not what happened, you ended up exiled
Understand my dear why you left your home
You can't even touch the ground

La Bohème, La Bohème
That's what it meant
We are twenty
La Bohème, La Bohème
That's what it meant
We are all together

When you see December arrive
You never thought that you would spend Christmas alone
Wanting to return home
So that you can stop suffering
You wanted to tell your family how you are struggling
But your pride is stronger
In God you believe
Don't cry anymore
Everyone should know
How hard your life has become

La Bohème, La Bohème
These beautiful promises
That they made
La Bohème, La Bohème
They live forever
In misery

Your education is over
With just a metro ticket
They tell you to look for a job
Without even caring about the future
There is nothing to say
Here is someone who suffers from hunger
Doesn't even have a coat
At least your money can keep you warm
Why did they lie to you
You feel betrayed
You don't even want to live anymore

La Bohème, La Bohème
They laughed because they were together
La Bohème, La Bohème
Their party was a dream

You finally found a man who was as miserable as you
A good man who has also seen misery all his life
One year in a house and you felt blessed
You dreamed of returning to your country together
In the meantime, the country changed its tune
You don't understand, it will never change its appearance
Look at the people who are already angry with you
Making you feel like a stranger in your own home (hummm hummm)

La Bohème, La Bohème
They were young, yes they were crazy
La Bohème, La Bohème
It doesn't mean anything at all

(La la la la la la...)

I'm telling you about a time
That those under twenty
Cannot know
Montmartre at that time
Hung its lilacs
Up to our windows
And if the humble furnished room
Which served as our nest
Didn't pay for itself
It's where we met
Me who cried famine
And you who posed nude

La Bohème, La Bohème
That meant
We are happy
La Bohème, La Bohème
We only ate every other day.

In the nearby cafes
There were a few of us
Who were waiting for glory
And although we were poor
With empty stomachs
We never stopped believing
And when some bistros
In exchange for a good hot meal
Took a painting from us
We recited verses
Gathered around the stove
Forgetting the winter

La Bohème, La Bohème
That meant
You are beautiful
La Bohème, La Bohème
And we were all geniuses.
