Angola

Je connais qu'un seul endroit
Mais c'est pas fréquentable
Où l'on joue ce blues là
Aussi noir que le sable
Je connais qu'une seule voix
Qu'en est vraiment capable
C'est profond, plus fort que toi
Il n'est pas responsable
C'est le blues d'Angola
Mineur et solitaire
Qui nous vient de Luanda
C'est un chant/champ de poussière
Fallait partir, laisser là
Tes rêves et cette guerre
Et l'or noir que tu n'as pas
Pour tous ces mercenaires
Qui ont du sang sur les mains
Jusqu'au bout de l'Enfer
Cours plus vite, ne dis rien
Sous cette pluie de fer
Tu n'en parle jamais, toi
Toi mon ami, mon frère
Qui as tu perdu là-bas
Couché dans la poussière?
J'veux du sang pour 20 caras
Des diamants, des rivières
Pétroliers du Panama
Vos dollars m'exaspèrent
C'est le blues d'Angola
Mineur et solitaire
Qui nous vient de Luanda
C'est un chant/champ de poussière
