Lyrics
Les murs des HLM
Étaient comme un décor
Dans la brume
Sous la lune
Au balcon du vingtième
Elle attendait
Son Roméo
En moto
A la radio FM
On entendait encore
Une chanson en anglais
Qui la faisait pleurer
Même si elle n'y comprenait
Pas un mot
Harry loves Mary
Mary loves Harry
Comme on est loin de l'Angleterre
Harry loves Mary
Mary loves Harry
Comme on est seul sur la terre
Y'a des enfants qui s'aiment
Dans toutes les banlieues nord
Et qui écrivent leurs noms
Sur les murs de béton
Ils ont des têtes de mort
Au dos de leurs blousons
Et à l'oreille ils ont
Un anneau d'or
Les murs des HLM
Etaient comme un décor
Dans la brume
Sous la lune
Quand son engin d'enfer
De son bruit
Soudain fendit l'air
De la nuit
Harry loves Mary
Mary loves Harry
Comme on est loin de l'Angleterre
Harry loves Mary
Mary loves Harry
Comme on est seul sur la terre
Elle n'a pas dit je t'aime
Elle a offert son corps
Ils ont écrit leurs noms
Sur le mur de béton
II a posé par terre
Son blouson à l'envers
Pour lui faire un drap de satin
Sous ses reins
Les murs des HLM
Etaient comme un décor
Mais quand vint
Le matin
Les murs se sont ouverts
Et derrière
II y avait la mer
Au lointain
Lyrics translation
The walls of the HLM Were as a decoration In the mist Under the moon At the balcony of the twentieth She was waiting for Her Romeo's motorcycle Has the FM radio We could still hear A song in English That made her cry Even though she did Not understand a word Harry loves Mary Mary loves Harry As it is far from the England Harry loves Mary Mary loves Harry As it is the only one on the earth There are children who love each other In all the northern suburbs And who write their names On the concrete walls They were headed of death to The back of their jackets And the ear they have A ring of gold in the walls of The HLM Were as a decoration In the mist Beneath the moon When his engine to hell Of his Sudden noise split the air Of the night, Harry loves Mary Mary loves Harry As it is far from the England Harry loves Mary Mary loves Harry As it is the only one on the earth, She has not said I love you She offered her body They have written their names On the concrete wall II has laid the ground His jacket upside To make him a sheet of satin Under his loins, the walls of The HLM Were as a decoration But when The morning came The walls are open And behind there was the sea in The distance
