La #chanson d’un groupe suisse italophone que j’aime beaucoup beaucoup...
The Vad Vuc - Toulouse-Lautrec
Voici une partie de la chanson traduite en anglais :
As a boy I enjoyed defacing posters
Adorning them with glasses, moustaches, scars and large birds
Until Toulouse-Lautrec seduced me with Bruant
And deluded me into thinking I could be a bohemian too.
Illuminated, I chose to become a rebel artist
Without considering an obvious prerequisite:
To practice the art of the street poster
We must embrace the cause and be on the side
Of those who pay.
...
At that time I said to myself: “Shut up and learn to swallow
That work is work and we need to eat”
And I understood from the big faces with a fixed smile
That prostitution is not only sexual
And like Toulouse-Lautrec I will paint my bitches
Chronicler of my time and of a social disease
With a simple gesture I will sign my revenge
Honing my posted works with the disobedience
Of a canister.
