Cover art for LE SABOTEUR lyrics by Turbonegro

Using Google Translate and a bit of guesswork (Note that I haven't studied French since high school level French a decade or more ago):

Sacre bleu You must die (this line appears to be in Norwegian - I found it written as "Du må dø" on another site.) All the days the barricade ("On the barricade all day", I guess)

I am the son of the devil I morir miles (If it's supposed to be mourir, that would be "I die miles" - he seems to repeat "mourir" though, so maybe "I die, I die for miles"? Not sure.) For freedom (liberty): Kill kill kill! The rebellion in my heart! I am the saboteur!

In the street - destructive Sabotage is my first pattern (premier motif - might scan better in translation as "only motive"? It rhymes in French, anyway) Viva War, Viva Death Viva the great revolt

All the days the barricade I am the son of the devil I morir miles For freedom: Kill kill kill!

(As above)

The rebellion in my heart! I am the saboteur!

Going to the guillotine My revolt was the bloodiest No reform - no coup d'etat Fuck the world, Saboteur savant

The rebellion in my heart I am the saboteur


If anyone is better at French than me and Google, by all means give it a shot.

It looks to be like it's about the French Revolution, and Maximilien Robespierre and the Reign of Terror in particular. He starts off fighting for the revolution (on the barricades), but is a bloodthirsty killer who ends up going to the guillotine himself. If you're not familiar with the French Revolution, read up on it. It's interesting.
