Guérilla (English lyrics)
By the international connect
1st verse :
Nothing has changed in our caves, it’s still la vida loca
Yeah chica, come over at the building, I’m a magnificent demon
We’ll always be the guilty ones, guilty of being Africans
Guilty like Kadhafi or like Nelson Mandela
Mama, the moment has come, we’ve suffered for too long
Don’t worry, it was written that we would have to suffer more than the others
But the others and theirs sons took everything from us
So I rob the rich like my brother Patchi
La la la la
Chorus :
I sing about love in the middle of this Guerilla
Because I’ll always love you, my Algeria
I sing about love in the middle of this Guerilla
They don’t want peace because they don’t know about Guerilla
In our heads there’s always a guerilla
Gueri-illa, Guerilla
In our heads there’s always a guerilla
Gueri-illa, Guerilla
I’m no longer there, if you’re looking for me, I’m no longer there
If she’s looking for me I’m no longer there, if he’s looking for me I’m no longer there
If you’re looking for me I’m no longer there, if she’s looking for me I’m no longer there
If you’re looking for me I’m no longer there, let them know that I’m no longer there
2nd verse :
I’m back from real real far, so far it’s almost like I’m back from the dead
I dreamed that we weren’t poor anymore and that our sad stories were nothing but words
But in reality they escaped, or barricaded themselves
You’re gonna make it, mama told me to have courage ya waldi
I’m not waiting on love, my heart died when I was a baby
I’m waiting on peace and I hope it won’t take too long
I was in a hole and all you did was look
Don’t come begging me for anything now, keep on looking, son of a bitch
Chorus :
I sing about love in the middle of this Guerilla
Because I’ll always love you, my Algeria
I sing about love in the middle of this Guerilla
They don’t want peace because they don’t know about Guerilla
In our heads there’s always a guerilla
Gueri-illa, Guerilla
In our heads there’s always a guerilla
Gueri-illa, Guerilla
I’m no longer there, if you’re looking for me, I’m no longer there
If she’s looking for me I’m no longer there, if he’s looking for me I’m no longer there
If you’re looking for me I’m no longer there, if she’s looking for me I’m no longer there
If you’re looking for me I’m no longer there, let them know that I’m no longer there
Outro :
Way way
