Sweatshop Lyrics

Walter a les clÃ©s
He's got the keys
Il a les cles de l'ascenseur

He is always there
Il est toujours la
He is always there
La sentinelle
Ete et hiver

Tous matin Ã§a bouge a Chinatown
Les marchÃ©s comblÃ©es de mille couleurs
Tellement do monde qu? on s?y perd
Puis c'est (chaud) fous!

Vlado nous emmene
He works ahead
Pour nous montrer

Twenty-three Chinese in a space of twenty square feet
De 10 metre carrÃ©

Le matin Ã§a bouge a Chinatown
Regarde les rues comblÃ©es de mille couleurs
Comme sa bouge on s?y perd
Puis c'est (chaud) fous!

Bato me regarde
Il nous dit que les temps sont durs
Bato me regarde
And he says that the times are hard

Twenty-three Chinese in a space that's miniature
Twenty-three chinois, ah oui, les temps sont durs

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

In my humble opinion, this is one of the most underrated songs of all time. It's serenely beautiful, and even though the lyrics focus on a specific situation, there's a mystic to both the song and the manner in which the lines are spoken...Lines such as 'Tellement du monde qu’ on s’y perd', 'So much of the world that one loses oneself'--it's just hard not relate, and in the context of the song itself, a lyric of distress manages to be comforting.

I could heap ages and and sentences of praise upon this song, but I'd rather just listen to it again. Undoubtedly in my top five.
