Politic Amagni
by Amadou & Mariam
Politic Amagni (La Politique, C'est Pas Bon)
La politique exige du sang, Des larmes
De l'ignorance, des mensonges
Des vies et des votes
C'est pour cela, mon ami, c'est une évidence
La politique est violence
La politique c'est pas bon
La politique, c'est pas bon
Politiciens écoutez-nous
Politicien en faisant de la politique
Retirez-y vols et corruptions
Retirez-y mensonges et mots creux
Retirez-y conflits et crimes
Politiciens écoutez-nous
La démagogie nous n'en voulons pas
La corruption nous n'en voulons pas
Les exactions nous n'en voulons pas
Nous voulons des hommes honnêtes
Nous voulons des hommes intègres
Nous voulons du bonheur pour tout le monde
Nous voulons la paix pour tout le monde
Politiciens écoutez-nous...
