How is life inside the metro in Berlin during the tough and cold winter 2017? Musicians trying to play and give joy to the Berliners despite the grey atmosphere. This is the metro madness seen by BLOUZouki!
lyrics
“Le métro de Berlin"
Le métro de Berlin, sombre comme un vieux train
Les alcooliques du matin, une bière ou deux, à la main
Le blues est froid, transpire du bout de mes doigts
Aleksander platz, Leopold platz
Hallesches Tor, Kotbuser Tor,
J’ai la cote.. Dans les bouches du métro!
Le curry wurst Berlinois, suinte dans les urinoirs
Les punks, les vieux rockeurs et jeunes barbes de hipsters
Accordéonistes, marionnettistes, perdus dans un hiver moscovite
Aleksander platz, Leopold platz
Hallesches Tor, Kotbuser Tor,
J’ai la cote.. Dans les bouches du métro!
Une petite fleur, Sydney Bechet est en pleurs
Rosenthaler platz, les flics sont à l’heure et bien en place
Clarinettistes turcs pleurent, le Bosphore et Istiklal, Le Bosphore et Istiklal, le Bosphore et Istiklal
Aleksander platz, Leopold platz
Hallesches Tor, Kotbuser Tor,
J’ai la cote.. Dans les bouches du métro!
Dans les bouches du métro, dans les bouches du métro!
