Le tango des élus paroles de Renaud Séchan musique de Renaud Séchan
The tango of the chosen, lyrics by Renaud Séchan, music by Renaud Séchan
Interprété Renaud Séchan et tous ses musiciens
Performed by Renaud Séchan and all his musicians
Chanson courte mais suffisante
A short song, but enough
Et dire que chaque fois que nous votions pour eux
And to think that every time we voted for them
Nous faisions taire en nous ce cri ni dieu ni maître
We silenced in ourselves that cry of neither god nor master
Dont ils rient aujourd'hui puisqu'ils se sont fait dieux
Which they laugh at today since they’ve made themselves gods
Et qu'une fois de plus nous nous sommes fait mettre
And once again, we've been taken for a ride
Et puis c'est tout
And that's all
Moi j'le fais mieux
I do it better
Moi j'le fais mieux
I do it better
Valavam valalam
Et alors du con
So what, you idiot
Ah bon
Oh really
Ahahah ahahah
Ahahaha ahahaha
(Great)
Ahahah
Ahahaha
(They call me the ace of languages)
