Paroles et traduction Makassy - Soldat

Soldat

Les jeunes le voient comme un soldat, car chaque jour il se lève, yeah
Il vit dans une banlieue sale pourtant, il n'enfreint aucune règle
Il a pourtant tout d'une caille-ra, oh non, mais il garde foi en sa voie
Ce mec-là poursuit un rêve, être un exemple pour la relève

Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey
Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey

Tout petit quand venait l'heure, il rentrait sous leurs yeux moqueurs
Puis, il a eu son master, est devenu ingénieur
Le vice du bas des tours, le tentait tous les jours
Mais il avait fait son choix, réussir par les cours

Les jeunes le voient comme un soldat, car chaque jour il se lève, yeah
Il vit dans une banlieue sale pourtant, il n'enfreint aucune règle
Il a pourtant tout d'une caille-ra oh non, mais il garde foi en sa voie
Ce mec-là poursuit un rêve, être un exemple pour la relève

Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey
Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey

Doucement, il prospère, monte des petites affaires
Embauche des ados qui galèrent, transmet son savoir faire
Mais tu sais les jaloux sont souvent proches de nous
Quand les caïds de la cité conspirent, il faut craindre le pire

Les jeunes le voient comme un soldat, car chaque jour il se lève, yeah
Il vit dans une banlieue sale pourtant, il n'enfreint aucune règle
Il a pourtant tout d'une caille-ra oh non, mais il garde foi en sa voie
Ce mec-là poursuit un rêve, être un exemple pour la relève

Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey
Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey

Et le pire arriva, il rentrait tranquillement
Dans son esprit le tracas, un mauvais pressentiment
Alors, il fit demi-tour, courut à en perdre haleine, yeah
Mais les flammes de la haine consumaient son rêve

Les jeunes le voient comme un soldat, car ce jour-là il s'est levé
Au nom de l'espoir dans la cité, il est allé les défier
À ses blessures il a succombé, mais un martyr fait des adeptes
Qui ont poursuivi son rêve, être des exemples pour la relève

Les jeunes le voient comme un soldat, car chaque jour il se lève, yeah
Il vit dans une banlieue sale pourtant, il n'enfreint aucune règle
Il a pourtant tout d'une caille-ra oh non, mais il garde foi en sa voie
Ce mec-là poursuit un rêve, être un exemple pour la relève

Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey
Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey

Soldier

The young see him as a soldier, because every day he rises, yeah
He lives in a dirty suburb, yet he breaks no rules
He has everything of a thug, oh no, but he keeps faith in his path
This guy is pursuing a dream, to be an example for the next generation

Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey
Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey

As a child, when the time came, he would come home under their mocking eyes
Then he got his master's degree and became an engineer
The vice of the bottom of the towers tempted him every day
But he had made his choice, to succeed through education

The young see him as a soldier, because every day he rises, yeah
He lives in a dirty suburb, yet he breaks no rules
He has everything of a thug, oh no, but he keeps faith in his path
This guy is pursuing a dream, to be an example for the next generation

Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey
Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey

Slowly, he prospers, starts small businesses
Hires struggling teenagers, passes on his know-how
But you know the jealous are often close to us
When the city's gangsters conspire, you have to fear the worst

The young see him as a soldier, because every day he rises, yeah
He lives in a dirty suburb, yet he breaks no rules
He has everything of a thug, oh no, but he keeps faith in his path
This guy is pursuing a dream, to be an example for the next generation

Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey
Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey

And the worst happened, he was coming home quietly
In his mind the worry, a bad feeling
So he turned around, ran out of breath, yeah
But the flames of hatred consumed his dream

The young see him as a soldier, because that day he rose
In the name of hope in the city, he went to defy them
He succumbed to his wounds, but a martyr makes followers
Who have pursued his dream, to be examples for the next generation

The young see him as a soldier, because every day he rises, yeah
He lives in a dirty suburb, yet he breaks no rules
He has everything of a thug, oh no, but he keeps faith in his path
This guy is pursuing a dream, to be an example for the next generation

Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey
Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh ouh yeah-hey
