Lyrics
Ils sont arrivés
Et leurs mots t’ont fait pleurer
Ils parlaient d’un accident
D’une balle perdue
Une de ces histoires
Qu’on raconte au fond des bars
Dans ces bars où l’on dit «tu»
Et où on l’a tué
Ils t’ont dit qu’il est mort hier
On a tué ton père hier
Tu pleures sur tes prières
On va le mettre en terre
Le temps essuie tes larmes
Et tu penses à cet homme et son arme
A ta mère qui pleure encore
Elle serre ta main plus fort
Depuis qu’il n’est plus là
Ils t’ont tous aidé
Tu as vu ceux qui l’aimaient
Ils parlaient du bon vieux temps
D’une balle perdue
Perdue avec elle l’innoncence et la confiance
Dans le vide de son absence
Qui n' a pas de sens
Ils t’ont dit qu’il est mort hier
On a tué ton père hier
Tu pleures sur tes prières
On va le mettre en terre
Le temps essuie tes larmes
Et tu penses à cet homme et son arme
A ta mère qui pleure encore
Elle serre ta main plus fort
Depuis qu’il n’est plus là
Lyrics translation
They arrived
And their words made you cry
They were talking about an accident.
From a lost ball
One of these stories
That we tell at the back of the bars
In those bars where they say " you»
And where he was killed
They told you he died yesterday.
Your father was killed yesterday.
You cry over your prayers
We're gonna put him on the ground.
Time wipes away your tears
And you think of this man and his weapon
To your mother who is still crying
She shakes your hand harder
Since he's gone
They all helped you.
You saw those who loved him
They were talking about the good old days
From a lost ball
Lost with it innoncence and confidence
In the emptiness of his absence
That doesn't make sense
They told you he died yesterday.
Your father was killed yesterday.
You cry over your prayers
We're gonna put him on the ground.
Time wipes away your tears
And you think of this man and his weapon
To your mother who is still crying
She shakes your hand harder
Since he's gone
