Nekfeu - Ciel Noir (English Translation)
[Lyrics of "Ciel noir"]
[Intro]
(You)
Me
[Verse 1]
To write, is the first action of a man deprived of freedom
I have for evidence the prisoners name engraved on the prison walls
And it’s pure as the love of youngsters
The murmur of people grows, we barely live, we die already
It’s the sound of cellars going up and upsetting these fucking residents
To get away, I defrauded, fuck trains and their full fares
The concrete said to me, "You’re hot-headed," but the worst part of life
It’s not that something happens to you, it’s that nothing happens
If one of mine wears out, we pass it on
And if one of mine falls, we raise him
But if one of mine leaves, I can’t get over it
Even if I believe that we leave here to be reborn
[Bridge 1]
We’ll be there for his mother, one of my people falls, we pick him up
We’ll be there for his mother, we’ll only leave to be reborn
[Verse 2]
The body is identified in the coroner’s office
Just yesterday, he enjoyed himself on the corner
When life comes to slap you, you gotta have the cojones
Yet another page tarnished, an authenticated sin before our rebirth
You want to make numbers and end up crowned?
You want to break down all the doors, think about the air flow
Not-Not-Not yet honest, I confess, my heart is broken
I have only one remedy, it's love, embarrassed to be helped out
I have the support of my young wolves, I miss some
Miles ahead of us before we’re reborn
When your lucky star is modest, a dark sky
A tear cleansing the pupils, a junkie draws out a blade
Who we’ll talk about later but which, for now
Only etch "Help" on public bathrooms
[Verse 3]
What do you know about a dude who shoots himself up?
Survival is worth the price of a struggling junkie
A man alone with a dirty blade, suddenly, the soul leaves
Choked by the sound of a can that opens
We’re leaving to be reborn
A zigzag course or an honest course
Everyone leaves to be reborn
Who will be there for his mother?
I have love as remedy
We’re going to be reborn, dark sky, dark sky
[Bridge 2]
Two, three, four
Ah ahhh ah ahhh ohh
Ah ahhh ah ah ohhh
Diabi, tell me when it's good
Ah ahhh ah ahhh ah
Ah ahhh ah ahhh ah
[Verse 4]
Above the clouds, the sun shines intensely
Back on earth, the sky is dark, a mother buries her dead
All in the same boat, but where are we going?
We’re all blind in this convoy
Passers-by have masks and devour everything, like a mass
That looks like the Faceless of "Spirited Away"
Demons gather around the body we're picking up
And the blood looks darker in the light of a flashing light
They only think about the millions so I take the links without them
I end up on top and become a lion
Love is an essence
Death is a birth
One day, there will be nothing left of those mouths that curse
Nothing left of those blurry horizons yellowing
Nothing from our mothers, our sons, my record
There’ll be nothing left of these vomiting volcanoes
And then not a single echo of the thunderstorm that thunders
No more bit of pollen and no more grain of salt
And nothing of those crumbling clouds
When reinforced concrete golems scratch the sky
There will be nothing left of the flickering stars
Advancing towards the center of these evanescent galaxies
No time, no dimension, no meaning
The Universe will become as before its birth
Dark sky
