Vilain Pingouin - Délinquance (with translation)
Written 2019-02-14
- with rough translation...
«
Sa mère, elle l'aimait plus, parce que son père, il l'aimait trop
Ça fait qu'elle est tombée dans la rue, une bonne poussée dans l'dos
Elle a perdu l'fil de ses idées au bout d'l'aiguille qui fait rêver
On n'a pas tous une tendre enfance, c'était plutôt d'la délinquance
Her mother, she didn't love her anymore, because her father, he loved her too much
So she ended up on the streets, a good push in the back
She lost the thread of her thoughts at the tip of the needle that makes one dream
We don't all have warm childhoods; hers was more like delinquency
Elle n'a jamais trouvé de raisons pour expliquer
Pourquoi que dans une foule, elle est toujours isolée
Elle n'a jamais trouvé de raisons pour expliquer
Pourquoi que desfois la vie est déjà toute tracée
She never found reasons to explain
As to why in a crowd, she's always isolated
She never found reasons to explain
Why sometimes, life is already all mapped out
Sans un bon encadrement, elle n’peut pas être sage comme une image
Pour elle, changer d'foyer d'accueil, c'était juste changer sa cage
Tout ce qu'elle voulait, c'était sa chance, un p'tit coup d'main pour faire sa place
Mais le p’tit coup de main, y'en a plusieurs qui voulaient juste y mettre dans la face
Without proper guidance, she couldn't be "as good as gold"
For her, to change foster home, it was just changing her cage
All she wanted was her chance, a little helping hand to find her place
But the little helping hand, there were many who only wanted to slap it across her face
Elle a grandi dans la rue, dans l'fond des ruelles sans issues
La société des allumés qui vivent de la misère qui tue
Dans la vie, tout s’vend, tout s'achète, et y'a b’en plus d'acheteurs qu'on pense
Y'en a plusieurs qui fixent ses prix, sa délinquance
She grew up in the streets, in the back alleyways without exits
A society of the illuminated who lives off misery that kills
In life, all's for sale, all can be bought, and there are more buyers than we think
There are many who set their prices, their delinquency
Elle n'a jamais trouvé de raisons pour expliquer
Pourquoi que dans une foule, elle est toujours isolée
Elle n'a jamais trouvé de raisons pour expliquer
Pourquoi que desfois la vie est déjà toute tracée
She never found reasons to explain
As to why in a crowd, she's always isolated
She never found reasons to explain
Why sometimes, life is already all mapped out
C'est l'genre d'histoire que l'monde aime b’en, avec une belle fin prévisible
Avoir que’que chose tous les matins, ça finit par être invisible
Mais j'pense que j’vais vous décevoir, c'n’est pas d’ma faute, c'est son histoire
Moi, j'fais juste la raconter, c'est elle qui décide où aller
This is the kind of story that people like a lot, with a nice predictable end
Having something to eat each morning, it ends up becoming invisible
But I think that I'll disappoint you, it's not my fault, it's her story
I'm only retelling it, she decides where she goes
Sa mère n'la connaît plus, parce que son père, il l'aimait trop
P’is c'est comme ça qu'elle a su comment qu'on sauve sa peau
Elle a repris au fil des années tout ce qu'on lui avait enlevé
Elle a compris qu'on fait sa chance, on n'attend pas qu'les autres y pensent
Her mother doesn't know her anymore, 'cause her father, he loved her too much
And that's how she found out how you save your skin
She took back over the years all that was taken away from her
She understood that we make our own fortune, we don't wait for others to think of it
Elle a trouvé toutes les façons pour se cacher
Maintenant dans une foule elle est toujours dissimulée
Mais elle n'a jamais cherché d'façons pour oublier
Elle regarde le monde autour desfois pour se rappeler
She found every way to hide herself
Now in a crowd, she is always camouflaged
But she never searched for ways to forget
She looks at people around sometimes, to remind herself

Vilain Pingouin - Roche et Roule - 06 - Délinquance
- maybe a little immature... but sometimes it feels good to let it out...
You Know What?
Written 2015-06-07
Fuck you.
That's all I can
Say right now.
If it weren't for me,
You wouldn't have
The space to let it out.
It's obvious by your snubs
What you think of me.
And that's alright.
I don't like you either.
So fuck off; I mean it
From my heart.
And yes, I sure feel
Much better for this
Little outburst of mine!

His Guardian Angel Said No
Written 2014-03-20
- follow-up to ''The Awakening'' ... the letter that followed...
How could she ever heal
from the violence he did
and how on earth would she
with the way he suggested
He sent her a letter a few
months after his attack
he said he'd use a knife and
slice himself each day 'til
she's healed from all the
pain he caused her that night
He said her caring love freaked
him out and he doesn't know
He called it a beast inside him
one he didn't know lurked
She didn't quite know what to
make of his words, still doesn't
Doesn't he realize that she'd
not be the same she used to be
after having gone through his
episode of whatever it may be
That the likelihood that she'll
ever get back to herself is nil
how he killed her abilities for
spontaneity and feeling secure
When a friend makes another
friend kiss the brink in this way
it breaks something in you
Makes you feel things differently
So for him to even suggest
what he's doing now, beggars belief
In the same token, his apology
ended with a new request for help
He called her his Guardian Angel
but throttled, battered, tattered
on the floor he left her to fade out
Could she realistically ever forget

NOTE: 2014 02 19 04H40 EST That Day -
That Day
Written 2014-02-19
- he died alone... by his own hand...
The day you slipped away,
seemed like all the flowers
wilted under a dark shadow
The sun didn't seem right
although it was shining
And the birds in the sky
only looked like sketches
a painter jotted down for
his memory to recall later.
Aside the numbness
of a deep pain inside,
it was the blandness that
coveted each moment
with such force of fury
and such persistance
that made me realize
this emptiness is from now
holding my hand until the
last breath in me is exhaled.
The day you slipped away,
more than anything, joining
you on the train you were in,
is all my heart desperately
yearned even though it knew
too well it'd be an uninvited
guest who shouldn't be there.
Missing your love is hurtful
but losing it is beyond any
coherent explanations.
The death of an angel,
my own irreplaceable one,
endures as the day a part
of my demolished self
fell further down the stairs
into the cellars where my
resolve, in the torture
chambers, was already
being punished for existing.
The day you slipped away...
Even comfort in songs disappeared.

NOTE: 2007 09 26 24H59 EST Goodnight And Great Next Day, Said The Lamp - childhood imagination... pic: brother & me - jan 1984...
as a child, before falling asleep,
i'd imagine the world saying
to each other: goodnight.
people then objects included.
i'd lie down in bed, under my blanket,
with my flannel pink pyjamas i loved so.
then, i'd close my eyes and let it flow.
the lamp would talk to my book,
next to it lay the pencil and eraser,
they too would jump in the convo,
the furniture did the same, of course.
as well as the alarm-clock, slippers,
stuffed toys and dolls, the pillow,
light switch, door, lamp posts outside,
cars, houses, just every single thing,
all were part of this night briefing.
you see, they'd all come to life once
humans were off to sleep the night
'cause things too needed care
and concern for how their day was,
a very sensitive child i was, i guess.
their conversations would ring
in my ears 'til their smiling voices
would calmly wish to one another
a good night and a great next day.
and i, i'd fall calmly asleep then,
with a smile of contentment
for the freedom of my world
i didn't know i had but felt.
tonight, i reminisce about
that little girl who dreamed
as a child is meant to do,
and the feeling is wonderful.

NOTE: 2004 10 18 02H35 EST A Moment
A Moment
Written 2005-09-19
When you look disrespectfully
at the voluptuous beauty’s unhidden shapes,
the skimpy fashions she wears to please,
do you ever stop a moment
to notice what the eyes
are truly telling?
When you look disapprovingly
at the multi-colored hair, wildly styled,
the shiny piercings covering his lovely face,
do you ever stop a moment
to realize what the meaning is
under the surface?
When you look disgustedly
at the passed out truant on the sidewalk,
the empty bottle of yesterday’s wine lying there,
do you ever stop a moment
to wonder what brought this soul to
lose all connection?
When you look obliviously
at the world’s sickening full-spin madness,
the importance of fortune over life,
do you ever stop a moment
to weigh the surreality of
our dulled senses?
Do we ever stop a moment?
