LE PORTABLE COLLECTIF - THE COLLECTIVE MOBILE

                 
                                                          LE COLLECTIF


                                                  Soudain une sonnerie retentit

                                                Le wagon se remplit de ce bruit

                                               Quelqu'un répond à son portable

                                             Commence un échange mémorable.

                                          Malheureusement, de cette conversation

                                               Nous n'entendons qu'une version

                                           Quel est-il le problème au bout du fil ?

                                            Toutes les oreilles tentent d'en capter

                                             Le moindre son.......... le sens caché

                                            Car tout ce tapage nous rend fébriles.

                                            Puissions-nous, ensemble, le résoudre

                                                    Avant que d'en découdre !


MY TRANSLATION


                                                    THE COLLECTIVE

                                                    Suddenly a bell rings

                                           The wagon is filled with the noise

                                             Someone answering his mobile

                                             Begins a memorable exchange.

                                          Unfortunately, of this conversation

                                               We hear only one version

                                            What is the problem in the phone?

                                                All ears are trying to capture

                                   The slightest sound .......... the hidden meaning

                                          Because all this row makes us excited.

                                                  May we together solve it

                                                     Before to do battle !


       

LE POUVOIR DE DIRE "OUI" - THE POWER TO SAY "YES"

                                                           LES "OUI" AU POUVOIR




                                             Aujourd'hui, je prends la décision

                                                                    De réduire au silence les "non".

                                            Tous ces freins qui limitent mon action

                                                                   Et me font agir comme un mouton.

                                             Je veux voir l 'envers de mon enfer :

                                                                  Si le paradis, comme je le suppose,

                                            Est aux antipodes de ce que j'expose,

                                                                  Je n'ai que quelques pas à faire

                                          Pour que mon être se réveille

                                                                 A une vie de merveilles............



 MY TRANSLATION


                                                      THE "YES" IN THE POWER

 
                                       Today, I make the decision

                                                                      For ever, to silence the "no."

                                       All these brakes which limit my action

                                                                    And make me act like a sheep.

                                       I want to see the other side of my hell :

                                                                     If the paradise, as I suppose, 

                                       Is to the antipodes of what I expose,

                                                            I have only a few steps to be made

                                        For my being awake

                                                                     In a life of marvels ............
