ABCD

[Intro]

A, B... C, D

[Couplet]

A, B, C, D, sir, here is my CV

To think that a little while ago, my CDs were just frisbees

Please, bruv, (1) let me jump out the window

Been paranoid for quite a while, I only trust my Opinel (2)

This world is crazy, you'll wind up dead one evening

I'm black, that's difficult enough already, can't even think of becoming an Enfoiré (3)

Mate, (1) I've said already, this guy's trying to fuck with you

You'll be bullied less if you wear a Sergio Tacchini

You're looking for a date but there are only kids in this club

Who are just dreaming of gazing at dons while on cocaine

Quickly defused, the feeling of getting myself screwed

I saw my reflection in a lake, all I saw was a purple note (4)

Do you want the truth or us to sing 'we'll all get along'

When you know what I know, it's difficult to go and get your vaccines

Apparently you're a terror, or maybe just a pain in the neck

Tell the paedophiles that their crime isn't a minor offence (5)

Sorry if this offends you, but it's difficult being a real Frenchman

The advice you get at night, (6) the daytime tells you otherwise

Ask DJ Arafat, Meugiwarano's the robot (7)

Never pull the chain, baby, in case I shit gold

Tell them it's over, this is my last word

You've given everything you can and disappeared like Massimo

Garcia gravissimo, You'll crash to the floor like a sumo

It's tough, naturally, you're bored to death, stuck down a hole (8)

Paris has its bandits and its reformed bandits

There are some deep in belief as well as those who wobble

It's just to get love and to be able to blow their own trumpet

Go out with a crown on your head and flour up your nose

A, B, C, D, This isn't the Salvation Army

While my brothers flare up, the motherland stays sick

The enemy's just down the street, C4 under my wheels

Where is the future? It sped away in a Subaru

It comes around every year, I can see them now pursuing me

I see them all blubbering, calling their chihuahuas Chanel

They try to fling mud at me, I'm the captain like Desailly

I'm from the Zaïre, as proud as those from Djazaïr (9)

Hall packed out in Central Paris while Helen fell from grace (10)

You want her, but she, she wants the 44 carat ring

Star in the capital, star in Nord-Pas-De-Calais

I wouldn't let Jim care for Aïcha since he's not all there (11)

A, B... C, D

[Outro]

Paris-Centre, Paris-Centre

Paris-Centre, Paris-Centre (12)

Warano (7)

Коментари аутора:

1 In Moroccan Arabic
2 Pocket Knife from Savoie
3 The name of a Celebrity singing troupe that raises money a bit like Children in Need or Comic Relief. Gims was asked to join but turned it down because it is too linked with the establishment.
4 The 500 euro note is purple
5 Yep, that's right, 'minor'
6 Play on the French idiom 'la nuit porte conseil' = Sleep on it
7 Meugiwarano is a play on words with Gim's last name and a name of a character from the anime 'One Piece'. Gims is also in the habit of referring to himself as 'the machine'
8 The original plays on an idiom literally meaning 'holding the walls' and then extending it to say 'you're in the cement'
9 He uses the native names of these two places:
Zaïre = Congo, Djazaïr = Algeria
10 The original plays on the singer 'Helen Segara' who had a bum record when Gims was hitting it big
11 This line is basically just a big pun on Jim Carey.
12 You can guess what this means, right?
