*English translation*

Life

Poor Algeria
Life beats in the rhythm of your dismay
Life itself is a lie
My heart aches to watch you
Poor Algeria
Life through your eyes
Life as lie
Life swarming with police
Life soaked with
mothers' tears
Life racked with madness
Poor Algeria

Who really cares
in America about
what's happening in Algeria?
Who really knows??

I've noticed that many listeners here do not like Manu Chao, for the reasons i don't quite understand, I find him to be an amazing musician and a human being, and his concerts are one of the best i've been to in my life. Give him a chance 


Yes....but.....the trousers.


😅



(Seriouly though.... He's obviously a very talented and creative person -although this song is not my cup of T), 
The numberof languages he can use - listed in the artist info here - is super impressive!)

This is a real problem for me -separating the art from the artist. The controversy played out on the comments boards  has everything to do with the artist. The song's stong - can't honestly hide behind a username and pretend it's not great.

I agree. He’s awesome. I am European and been listening to him for over 20 odd years. I don’t always understand the lyrics but when I do it’s profound, meaningful, poetic, often political. 
I had the impression he was from the Basque region in Spain.

When relaxed, Manu Chao always brings me down and leaves my head full of garbage, nonsense, stupid people and myself...

Thanks for that!

Nice to hear another cut by Manu Chao.  Haven't heard anything but one other song of theirs but knew this was them right away due to their unique sound - fun, breezy...bit of Caribbean/Reggae
