- Il est bientôt minuit, les frérots ont soif
Dix balles d’essence, on passe chez l’hanout
Se recharger en clopes, feuilles, Poliakov
La soirée sera un cocktail Molotov.- It's midnight soon, the bros are thirsty
Ten euros piss, we pass by the milk bar,
To refill on blems, papers, Poliakov
The evening’s gonna be a Molotov cocktail.
