Original Lyrics

Commando

Un commando
Ça saute aux yeux
C'est pas cadeau
C'est pas qu'à deux

Ça prend des ponts
Aux amoureux
Et ça répond
Aux vaniteux

Un commando
C'est résistant
Ça résiste au
Pire existant

Ca fait des bonds
Et des méchants
Et sur le front
C'est sur les dents

Un commando
C'est dans tes yeux
Ça met les larmes
À sang et à feu

Dieu comme Rimbaud
Beau comme un dieu
Et dans son âme
Ça brule un peu

Un commando
Ca prend sur soi
Et sur la peau
Ça déçoit pas

Paris, Saigon
Libre Cuba
Un écusson
S’use au combat

Comment-comment-comment
Commando
Comment-comment-comment
Comment commanditer ?

Commande-commande-commande
Commando
Commande-commande-commande
Comment décommander ?

Un commando
des commandal
scie à métaux
Si y'a mental

La madelon
S'en va au balles
Ça en dit long
Sur l'animal

Un commando
Ca tombe sous l'sens
C'est juste un mot
Qui sent l'essence

Pleurer ça fait
Bomber le torse
Mais sans jamais
Mouiller l'amorce

Commando

A commando 
It's obvious 
It's not present
It's not only with two 

It takes bridges 
To lovers 
And it answers back 
To conceited 

A commando 
It's strong 
It resists 
The worst that exists

It makes leaps 
and malicious 
and at the front 
it's very nervous 

A commando 
it's in your eyes 
it turns tears 
into blood and fire 

God as Rimbaud 
Handsome as a god 
and in its soul 
it burns a little 

A commando 
it takes responsibility 
and on the skin 
it's not disappointing 

Paris Saigon 
Free Cuba 
A badge 
Wears out in the fight 

How - how - how
Commando 
How - how - how 
How to finance 

Order - order - order 
Commando 
Crder - order - order 
How to cancel 

A commando 
The "commandals" 
Hacksaw 
If there's "mental" 

La Madelon 
Goes to the bullets
It speaks volumes 
For the animal 

A commando 
It's quite obvious 
It's just a word 
Which smells petrol (gas - in the US) 

To cry, that makes 
the chest stick out 
but without never 
wetting the detonator 

How - how - how - 
Commando 
How - how - how 
How to finance 

Order - order - order 
Commando 
Order - order - order 
How to cancel
