Path

I'm pretty sure I posted this song up some time back, but I restumbled across it while desperately trying to procrastinate. It's still as haunting as it was back then.
By denying pay, voice; claiming insubordination
Yes, yes, it is in ze French. *mock disgusted look*
Gag orders, ad hominem, threats of legal action
Attempted to change translations to a more literal meaning, although it could have backfired. Do go check it out, it's quite a beautiful song.
Those simply expressing justified dissatisfaction
And the film Les Choristes if you will. One doesn't need a musical background to appreciate these kind of things.
Have now been branded a "public enemy" faction

A previous attempt has been made


Vois sur ton chemin
Gamins oubliés égarés
Donne leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains
On quite a different debate
Look to your path
Children forgotten, lost

Give them the hand
To lead them
To other Tomorrows
And apparently it was rejected
Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire


Direction in the middle of the night
The wave of hope
Ardour of life
Path of glory

Because of punctuation unaccepted
Bonheurs enfantins
Trop vite oubliés effacés
Une lumière dorée brille sans fin
Tout au bout du chemin

Happy childhood times
Too quickly forgotten, erased
A light shines brightly, endlessly
All around the path

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de la gloire

From To The Administration
Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de la gloire

I find it heavily ironic as I write up this post and add the - finishing touches - because the film indeed deals with exactly this kind of things. If only in real life could we see such things as were in the film.

In any case, Les Choristes. Yeah. Le awesome. Hooray for faux-French!

Vive la revolution souterrain -
