lyrics

Casbah d’hiver

D’épais nuages noirs, sur le ciel gris et bas
Masse grisâtre, comme des draps mal lessivés
De ses ruelles visqueuses émanent une sale odeur d’urine
Une odeur fade de cave

Les couleurs n’y chantaient plus
Souvenirs d’un paradis déchu

Les veilles maisons turques se révélaient dans toute la tristesse
De leur splendeur perdue
Murs écaillés, mangés par le salpêtre
Bleus et roses délavés par les pluies d’hiver

Les façades crevassées, d’une ville au souffle coupé

Place de la Cathédrale, dansent des milliers de voiles
Place de la Cathédrale...
Ça danse.

Les premiers camions jaune sable prennent place
Place Cardinal Lavigerie
En sautent une dizaine de paras, ça marche au pas
Pas les zouaves habituel, qu’on croise nord du Sahel
Leurs gestes sont assurés
Leurs visages bien rasés
Les mouvements sont menaçants
Les regards bien glaçants

----------------

Winter Casbah

Thick dark clouds over a grey sky
A colorless shadow, just like poorly washed sheets
From its slimey alleys, the stench of urine
The dull smell of a cellar

Colors that were no longer chanting
Memories of a fallen paradise

The old Turkish houses revealed in all the sadness
Of their lost splendor
Chipped walls, eaten away by saltpetre
Blues and pinks washed away by winter rains

The cracked facades of a breathless city

Thousands of veils dancing at the place of the Cathedral
Place of the Cathedral...
People are dancing.

The very first khaki trucks arrive
Place Cardinal Lavigerie
A dozen of paratroopers spring out, highly disciplined
Not the usual zouaves you would meet north of the Sahel
Confident gestures
Clean-shaven faces
Menacing moves
Chilling eyes.
