Verse 1
J'ai vu des gens tendre les bras et leur deux doigts levés
I saw people with their arms outstretched and their two fingers raised
Leur majeurs et leur index toujours en forme de 'V'
Their middle and index fingers always in the shape of a 'V'
J'ai donc demandé ce que ce symbole pouvait signifier
So I asked what this symbol could mean
Et bien personne au grand personne n'a pu me l'expliquer
Well no one at large could explain it to me

Serait-ce un signe de paix?

Ou ce qu'il fait?
