Lyrics

Ses doigts longs et rapides
Couraient sur sa guitare
Ses riffs comme des fluides
Transpercaient le brouillard
Puis la lumière dorée
Du soleil de Negri
Planait sur la fumée
En petites notes agiles
Ses textes étaient précis
Et bourrés d’humour noir
C'était donc mon ami
Depuis ce fameux soir
Melody tempo harmony
I’ll do it for me To be new myself
Melody tempo harmony
Guitar base for me Lead and back vocals
J'étais noir moi aussi
Mais pour d’autres raisons
J’avais passé dix ans
A dormir en prison
C'était une drôle d’affaire
Pleine de coups d’escopette
De transporteurs de fonds
Et puis de grosse galette
Melody tempo harmony
I’ll do it for me To be new myself
Melody tempo harmony
Guitar base for me Lead and back vocals
You find that can write
In these categories
For this, didn’t like
My fantastic lyrics
Bye bye big money
Et fini la musique
Melody tempo harmony
I’ll do it for me To be new myself
Melody tempo harmony
Guitar base for me Lead and back vocals
Melody tempo harmony
I’ll do it for me To be new myself
Melody tempo harmony
Guitar base for me Lead and back vocals
Melody tempo harmony
I’ll do it for me To be new myself
Melody tempo harmony
Guitar base for me Lead and back vocals

Lyrics translation

Her long and fast fingers
Ran on his guitar
Its riffs like fluids
Pierced the fog
Then the golden light
From The Sun of Negri
Hovering over the smoke
In small agile notes
His texts were precise
And filled with black humor
So he was my friend.
Since that famous evening
Melody tempo harmony
I'll do it for me to be new myself
Melody tempo harmony
Guitar base for me Lead and back vocals
I was black too
But for other reasons
I had spent ten years
Sleeping in prison
It was a funny business.
Full of shotgun shots
Of funds carriers
And then big cake
Melody tempo harmony
I'll do it for me to be new myself
Melody tempo harmony
Guitar base for me Lead and back vocals
You find that can write
In these categories
For this, didn't like
My fantastic lyrics
Bye bye big money
And no more music
Melody tempo harmony
I'll do it for me to be new myself
Melody tempo harmony
Guitar base for me Lead and back vocals
Melody tempo harmony
I'll do it for me to be new myself
Melody tempo harmony
Guitar base for me Lead and back vocals
Melody tempo harmony
I'll do it for me to be new myself
Melody tempo harmony
Guitar base for me Lead and back vocals
