This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Au bistrot comme toujours
Il y a les beaux discours
Au poteau les pourris, les corrompus aussi
Dents blanches et carnassiers
Mais à la première occasion
Chacun deviendrait le larron
De la foire au pognon qui qui se trame ici
Allez danse avec Johnny
Se rappellent de la France
Ont des réminiscences
De l'ordre, des jeux, de l'essence
Quand on vivait mieux
Il y avait polémique et
On pouvait discuter mais c'est Mickey
Qui a gagné
Allez d'accord, n'en parlons plus
Un autre jour en France
Des prières pour l'audience
Et quelques fascisants autour de 15%
Charlie défends-moi
C'est le temps des menaces
On a pas le choix pile en face
Et aujourd'hui je jure que rien n'se passe
Toujours un peu plus
F.N, souffrance
Qu'on est bien en France
C'est l'heure de changer la monnaie
On devra encore imprimer le rêve de l'égalité
On ne devra jamais supprimer celui de la fraternité
Restent des pointillés yeah, yeah, yeah

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is the song that made me a Noir Desir fan. I was living in Paris when this was a radio hit and it blew my mind. I have found attempts at translation but none do justice to the song. This is a french song for french people and I feel us poor foreigners will never fully realise what we are missing. The lyrics of this song seem to reveal the threatening undercurrents that lurk beneath the facade of life in France, the dangerous nationalism, corrupting power of money and the disregard for the noble values of the country. The song sounds dark and threatening, like a gathering storm. Wonderful !
alex3058it, you didn't translate literally the lyrics but you did convey very well the spirit of the song !
quick translation:
at the cafe as always there are nice speeches Hang the rotten from the gallows!, the corrupt too White teeths and carnivorous. But at the first occasion Each one would become the scoundrel at this cash fair that's taking place Come on! Dance with Johnny
They remember France and have recollections of order, of games, of gas (prices) when living was better. There was Paul and Mickey We could have discussed but mickey won So let's not talk about that anymore
One day in France Prayers for audience ratings and a few fascistics around 15% Charlie, protect me! It's a time for threats There is no time, nail on the head But today, i swear nothing will happen Every time a little more
F.N. (nationalist right wing party in france) and suffering it's so nice in France the time is ripe to change the currency we should print the dream of equality and never abolish that of fraternity What remains are dotted lines
