Alain Souchon — Popopo song lyrics and translation
The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Popopo" by Alain Souchon.
Lyrics
La gueule de beau mec, le béret
Le cigare au bec: parfait
Sur le t-shirt d’Adriana,
Allons faire un tour sur Internet
Voire si ce guérillero était vraiment le mec net
Popopopo, popopopo
Ce libertador cador
Que tout l' monde adore
Chantait dans la sierra
Son chant de libération
Et de révolution
Est-ce que Juan Perez a aimé cette chanson?
Popopopo, popopopo
Il disait ses vers sévères aux revolvers
Le poète de la cabaña
Ces cris, ces «tatatata»
Dans la prison d'état
C'était la joie des villageois
«Viva Guevara !»
Pan, pan, pan, pan
Le pistolet sur la tête
Du fonctionnaire bête
Du paysan analphabète
Ce héros romantique
Qu’aimait le petit déclic
Et l’efficacité des armes automatiques
Popopopo, popopopo
Il rêvait des carabines fines du Potemkine
Pour mettre au pas Batista
C’est jamais par plaisir
Par plaisir qu’on tire
Mais pour un monde plus cool
Il faut bien que le sang coule
Popopopo, popopopo
Popopopo, popopopo
(Merci à Chris pour cettes paroles)
Lyrics translation
The handsome guy's mouth, the beret
The cigar with the spout: perfect
On Adriana's t-shirt,
Let's go for a ride on the Internet
Even if this guerrilla was really the net guy
Popopopo, popopopo
EC Liberator
That everyone loves
Sang in the sierra
His liberation song
And revolution
Did Juan Perez like this song?
Popopopo, popopopo
He said his harsh verses to the revolvers
The poet of the cabin
These screams, these " tatatata»
In the state prison
It was the joy of the villagers
"Viva Guevara !»
Bread, bread, bread, bread
The gun on the head
Official Beast
Of the illiterate peasant
This romantic hero
What liked the little click
And the effectiveness of automatic weapons
Popopopo, popopopo
He dreamed of the fine carbines of the Potemkin
To step up Batista
It's never for pleasure
By pleasure we shoot
But for a cooler world
The blood must be flowing.
Popopopo, popopopo
Popopopo, popopopo
(Thanks to Chris for these words)
