Vous avez lu l'histoire de Jesse James
Comment il vécut, comment il est mort
Ça vous a plu, hein, vous en d'mandez encore
Eh bien, écoutez l'histoire de Bonnie and Clyde

Alors voilà, Clyde a une petite amie
Elle est belle et son prénom c'est Bonnie
À eux deux, ils forment le gang Barrow
Leurs noms, Bonnie Parker et Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Moi, lorsque j'ai connu Clyde autrefois
C'était un gars loyal, honnête et droit
Il faut croire que c'est la société
Qui m'a définitivement abîmé

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Qu'est-ce qu'on a pas écrit sur elle et moi
On prétend que nous tuons de sang-froid
C'est pas drôle, mais on est bien obligé
De faire taire celui qui s'met à gueuler

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Chaque fois qu'un policeman se fait buter
Qu'un garage ou qu'une banque se fait braquer
Pour la police, ça ne fait pas d'mystère
C'est signé Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Maintenant, chaque fois qu'on essaie d'se ranger
De s'installer tranquilles dans un meublé
Dans les trois jours, voilà le tac, tac, tac
Des mitraillettes qui reviennent à l'attaque

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Un de ces quatre, nous tomberons ensemble
Moi j'm'en fous, c'est pour Bonnie que je tremble
Quelle importance qu'ils me fassent la peau
Moi Bonnie, je tremble pour Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

De toute façon, ils n'pouvaient plus s'en sortir
La seule solution, c'était mourir
Mais plus d'un les a suivis en enfer
Quand sont morts Barrow et Bonnie Parker

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

    Translation

    You read the story of Jesse James How he lived, how he died. Did it please you? You ask for more. Listen, here's the story of Bonnie and Clyde.

    So, Clyde has a girlfriend. She's beautiful and her first name is Bonnie. Both are the Barrow gang. Their names : Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    Once, when I knew Clyde He was a loyal, honest and upright guy. I believe it must be society That definitely corrupted me. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    What shouldn't have been written about her and me! They pretend we kill in cold blood. It's not funny but we are forced To cause the shouting one to shut up. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    Every time a policeman is killed That a garage or a bank is broken in For the police, it has no mystery. It's signed : Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    Now, every time we try to barricade ourselves To sit quietly in a nice looking flat About 3 days, there's the rat-tat-tat Of submachine guns that come back to attack. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    One of these days, we'll fall together. I don't care! If I tremble, it's for Bonnie. What's the importance if they liquidate us? Me, Bonnie, I tremble for Clyde Barrow. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    Anyway, we couldn't get away from here. The only solution was dying But more than one followed them in Hell When Barrow and Bonnie Parker passed away. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    FIY, it has been sampled many times, listen to MC Solaar's "Nouveau Western" and Kylie's "Sensitized" - you'll recognize it.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
