L'ordre

La gueule sur le pavé
Sous les semelles de l’état de droit
L’ordre des choses
En équilibre précaire
Mais l’art de la guerre
C’est la défiguration libre
L’explosion des formats
L’abstraction des vaincus
//////
My face on the asphalt
Under the soles of the rule of law
The order of things
A precarious balance
But the art of war
Means disfigurement at will
The explosion of formats
The omission of the defeated

Gibier le soir

|
À la merci, gibier le soir
Stupeur, terreur, en route départementale
La fragilité surexposée
Fais nous passer sous tes phares
L’horizon, sa lueur froide, xénon
Fais nous passer sous tes phares
//////
At their mercy, game at night
Stupor, terror on a country road
Overexposed fragility
Make us disappear under your headlights
The horizon, its cold glimmer, xenon
Make us disappear under your headlights

La morsure

Reste la morsure
saisissante
aveuglante
stroboscope au bout du tunnel
où nous glissions
ventre à terre
serpents nocturnes
ou scolopendres
Il nous reste la morsure
incandescente
rayonnante
//////
The bite remains
Vicious
Blinding
Strobe lights at the end of the tunnel
Where we hurriedly slid
On our stomachs
Nocturnal snakes
Or centipedes
We still have the bite
Incandescent
Beaming

Papier carbone

J’ai l’aversion putride
La mâchoire méfiante
Vois l’encre dans mes veines
J’imprime l’époque
Papier carbone
J’ai l’écume tenace
La langue infectée
Des rivières suspendues
À ma sale gueule accidentée
J’ai mille têtes à réclamer
Mille maîtres a destituer
J’ai mille têtes à réclamer
Un empire à tomber
Je règle les comptes
En monnaie d’acier
//////
My aversion is putrid
And my jaw distrustful
Look at the ink in my veins
I’m imprinting our time
Carbon paper
My froth is persistent
My tongue infected
And rivers are hanging
From my ugly damaged face
I have a thousand heads to claim
A thousand masters to depose
I have a thousand heads to claim
An empire to overthrow
I ‘m settling the score
And my currency is steel

Faudra l’assumer
L’incendie incarné
Nos mouvements coordonnés
Nos sourires et des flammes
Sur des vitrines brisées
Faudra l’engager
L’étincelle, le moment
Et l’essence cumulée
L’explosion, l’euphorie
À la violence mêlées
Feu contre feu
Que mille fenwick remontent les Champs Élysés
//////
we’ll have to own it
The fire incarnate
Our coordinated movements
Our smiles and flames
On smashed store windows
We’ll have to commit to it
The spark, the moment
And the collected gas
The explosion, the euphoria
Intertwined with violence
Fire against fire
Let a thousand Fenwicks go up the Champs-Élysées
