Es from MAQUINA ENFERNALA by Lou Seriol

ES

Drecha la via sus l'asfalt
es lòng lo viatge, sas
des ans ne son passats
se siem pas arrestats
i pels un pauc pus biancs
lo son un pauc pus nier
sas, eh? lo temps es ben passat
nos siem encara vius

Òc es la nòsta tradicion
lo sang es tot aqui
se siem pas tròp polits
anatz d'un autre cant
se siem pas tròp gentils
anatz balar ben luenh
eh vos? v'agrada lo bordel?
vos en donem de mai!

Es tramblament que arriba
es caissa gròssa en estòmi
es la bassa que esquiapa
es la guitara en flamas
es fluta coma lama
es semiton que chanta
es lo sang das aurelhas
es Lou Seriòl que arriba

Quadre, lo cul sus lo furgon
se lo siem fach ensem
Provença, Lengadòc,
valadas, pireneus
crozets e cassolet
barrións e paxaran
eira tacatz butar-lo vos
lo cul se l'avetz encar

IT IS

The road is straight on the asphalt
The journey is long, you know
Years have gone by
We never stopped
Our hair a little whiter
Our sound a little darker
You know? Time has gone well by
We are still alive

OC is our tradition
Our blood is all here
If we are not handsome enough
Go somewhere else
If we are not kind enough
Go dancing far away from here
What about you? Do you like racket?
We’ll make a huge one!

it’s the earthquake coming
it’s bass drum in your stomach
it’s bass smashing
it’s guitar on fire
it’s flute like sword
it’s barrel organ singing
it’s blood from your ears
it’s Lou Seriol coming

Square, our bum on the van
We made it together
Provence, Lengadoc,
valleys, Pyrenees,
“Cruzet” and “casulet” (local dishes)
Joints and “paxaran” (Basque booze)
Now it’s your turn to move your bum…
If you still have it!
