Wrap your optimism in a tiger's blanket
Take out your patience
Trust me, that's what you'll need
Otherwise, stay haughty
Unable to read between the lines, that's how I understood it, might have a different meaning
I'm just giving a piece of advice. I won't help

Anyway my opinion...
Is erased/deleted.. by an eraser
Stabbed with a knife rubbed with garlic
If you're ashamed/disgusted by shit
Why are you living in it?
You have every right to be brainless
Sucking on governmеnt's bones
And the whole mеat is elsewhere
Like it or hate it
I'm dancing on it anyway

Since we're governed by these people
We can't reach advanced countries
Even if we were El Guerrouj
We make fun of them, so what?
All their charisma is nothing
We see them as small people in both of our eyes
Stop me or I'll end up doing a scandal, a ma ma
People are still intimidated, scared of a word, or two
The battery is already bitten, and the surface is determined
That's why we ended up in the red
Stop me or I'll end up doing a scandal, a ma ma
Stop me or I'll end up doing a scandal, a ma ma

Spend your patience wisely. The days are long. You will need it in a tricky situation
You might get sick tonight, and death will visit you as the ambulance comes way too late

Anyway, my opinion...
Was kicked by the chief
Beaten and taken by police
If you think the government got nicer
May you end up meeting it
You'll bribe him..he won't hurt you
You'll be even more generous..he'll be happyy
You'll express yourself... he'll go furious
I'm not generalizing
Like it or hate it
I'm also paying them (taxes)

Since we're governed by these people
We can't reach the advanced countries
Even if we were El Guerrouj
We make fun of them, so what?
All their charisma is nothing
We see them as small people in both of our eyes
Stop me or I'll end up doing a scandal, a ma ma
People are still intimidated, scared of a word, or two
The battery is already bitten, and the surface is determined
That's why we ended up in the red
Stop me or I'll end up doing a scandal a ma ma
Stop me or I'll end up doing a scandal a ma ma

Param parapa...

Stop me or I'll end up doing a scandal a ma ma

I don't have a violin so I'll mimic the sound
Tarayray tarayray tararé
