Bombardiers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Appelés sous les drapeaux
Face à l'équipe allemande
Didier Six et Rocheteau
Au coup de sifflet d'envoi
L'Allemagne ouvre le score
Debout dans les gradins
Nous restons les plus forts
Le match n'est pas encore
Fini que nous gagnerons
Platini égalise
Juste avant la mi-temps
On gueule dans les tribunes
On chante à la maison
Allez les tricolores
À bas les noirs et blancs
À peine c'est la reprise
On se bat sur le terrain
Le bleu a comme le goût
Des joueurs girondins
22 sous les crampons
La passe sur Batiston
Qui s'envole vers les buts
Et soudain c'est la chute
These lyrics are from Bombardiers' song "France-Allemagne 82" and describe a football match between France and Germany in the 1982 FIFA World Cup. The song relays the emotions and events that took place during this particular game.
The first paragraph sets the scene at the start of the match. The singer mentions that the soldiers, symbolizing the players, are called upon and gather under their respective flags. The French team faces off against the German team, with Didier Six and Rocheteau being specifically named. At the start of the game, Germany takes the lead by scoring the first goal. However, the French fans in the stands remain strong and determined, confident in their team's abilities.
In the second paragraph, the singer emphasizes that the match is not yet over, but they are already certain of their victory. Michel Platini, one of the star players for France at the time, equalizes just before halftime. The fans in the stadium cheer loudly and express their support for the French team. However, there is also a clear mention of divisive and racially-charged sentiments, as they chant derogatory remarks towards the opposing team, with the phrase "À bas les noirs et blancs" meaning "Down with the blacks and whites."
As the third paragraph begins, the match resumes after halftime. The singer describes the intense and physical nature of the game, comparing it to the taste of Bordeaux wine, which is known to be bold and full-bodied. The players on both teams give their all on the field, engaging in a battle for victory. The number 22 refers to the total number of individuals on the field, including both teams. The lyrics then mention a pass to Batiston, a player representing the French team, who sends a shot towards the German goal. In a sudden turn of events, his shot leads to a dramatic fall or collapse, which suggests a significant event or turning point in the match.
Overall, these lyrics vividly depict moments from a high-stakes football match between France and Germany. They capture the excitement, passionate support, and tensions that can arise during such competitions. While the lyrics focus on specific events, they also touch on wider themes of national pride, rivalry, and even divisive sentiments present among fans.
