Lyrics
Dans les quartiers pauvres oùil grandit
Le diable était plus fort que les anges
Tout ce que les grands lui ont appris
C'était àmentir un peu trop tôt
Et on l’appelait Chicano
Libre comme l’air de Mexico
Les pieds nus dans son enfance
Sans savoir ce que serait demain
Que sera, sera
Demain, demain, demain, demain
C’est ta vie Chicano
Demain, demain, demain, demain
Attention Chicano
Chicano
Pour deux allumettes, un bout de pain
Il suivait les gosses de son âge
Et le soir venu dans un jardin
Ils se partageait tous leurs trésors
Et on l’appelait Chicano
Libre comme l’air de Mexico
Les pieds nus dans son enfance
Qui se terminait un peu trop tôt
Entre quatre murs un peu trop froids
Il achève son adolescence
Pour une bêtise qu’autrefois
Il avait commise sans savoir
Quand on l’appelait Chicano
Le gamin des rues de Mexico
Qui voulait sortir de l’ombre
Et faire sa place au soleil
Que sera, sera
Demain, demain, demain, demain
C’est ta vie Chicano
Demain, demain, demain, demain
Attention Chicano
Demain, demain, demain, demain
C’est ta vie Chicano
Demain, demain, demain, demain
Attention Chicano
Chicano
Lyrics translation
In poor neighbourhoods where he grows up
The devil was stronger than the Angels
All the great ones taught him
It was a little too soon.
And it was called Chicano
Free as the air of Mexico
Barefoot in his childhood
Without knowing what tomorrow would be
What will be, will be
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow
It's your Chicano life
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow
Attention Chicano
Chicane
For two matches, a piece of bread
He followed kids his age
And in the evening came in a garden
They shared all their treasures
And it was called Chicano
Free as the air of Mexico
Barefoot in his childhood
That ended a little too early
Between four walls a little too cold
He completes his teens
For a stupidity that Once Upon a time
He had committed without knowing
When it was called Chicano
The street kid from Mexico City
Who wanted to get out of the shadows
And make its place in the sun
What will be, will be
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow
It's your Chicano life
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow
Attention Chicano
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow
It's your Chicano life
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow
Attention Chicano
Chicane
