J'ai tué le commissaire
Mais je n'ai pas tué son brigadier, oh non, non
J'ai tué le commissaire
Mais je n'ai pas tué son brigadier, ou… ou…

Partout à travers mon beau pays
Ils ont mis ma tête à prix
Parce qu'ils veulent m'inculper
Pour la mort d'un pauvre brigadier
Pour avoir tué un pauvre brigadier
Mais je jure

J'ai tué le commissaire
Mais je n'ai pas tué son brigadier, oh non, non
J'ai tué le commissaire
Mais j'étais en légitime défense, ou… ou…

Commissaire John Brown m'a toujours haï
Pourquoi ?
Je ne sais vraiment pas
Mais chaque fois que j'ai planté une petite graine
Il me dit : « Tue-la avant qu'elle ne pousse »
Il me dit : « Tue-les, tue-les toutes avant qu'elles ne grandissent »
C'est pourquoi

J'ai tué le commissaire
Mais je n'ai pas tué son brigadier, oh non, non
J'ai tué le commissaire
La peine capitale sera ma sentence, ou… ou…


Un jour je me suis senti si libre
J'ai voulu quitter la ville
Quand soudain j'ai vu, j'ai vu Commissaire John Brown
Il essayait de froidement me liquider
Il voulait tout simplement m'exécuter
Mais tant pis pour lui
C'était moi ou lui
Si je suis coupable, je vais payer

J'ai tué le commissaire, oh Lord
Mais je n'ai pas tué son brigadier
Ou était le brigadier ? oh non, non
J'ai tué le commissaire
Mais j'étais en légitime défense, ou… ou…

Les réflexes font partie de moi
Adviendra que pourra
À force de tirer sur la corde
Tôt ou tard elle finit par casser
Un jour ou l'autre, elle finira par casser
Et

J'ai tué le commissaire
Mais je n'ai pas tué son brigadier, oh non, non
Ou était le brigadier
J'ai tué le commissaire
Mais je n'ai pas tué son brigadier
Non, je n'ai pas tué le brigadier
J'ai tué le commissaire
J'ai tué le commissaire, eh eh eeeh eh
Oh, non, non
Je n'ai pas tué son brigadier
J'ai tué le commissaire
Qu'on se le dise une fois pour toutes, ou… ou..
Oh, Lord

Merely singing a classic in another language doesn't make it a successful reinterpretation.

I don't mind French songs at all, but totally prefer hearing the original.

Oh I loathed it too. But complaining about the nature of the lyrics was missing the point rather, I thought...

As if talking about killing someone was as anecdotal as talking about the weather.....

 

I prefer avoiding to hear those kind of lyrics.

With that said - it's turgid, soulless, recycled, translated, pap. Instant PSD for me. {#Wall}

Decent at best.  And I agree with comment below - much better than the horrific Pink Floyd WYWH cover he does.

Alpha Blondy churns through everything I've heard so far way too hurriedly. Like he has no time to emote a feeling or an atmosphere...just get through it and wink. Good production, but too polished and sterile for my tastes. I'm so incredibly bored by 'reggae' as it is...and when you strip the life out of a song...you're left with a carcass.

Maybe if I had just gotten off the sailboat dingy in Tortola and were sitting at the beach bar listening to a local kit. Maybe. More beer please.

Not a huge fan of the song, so this is tempered a bit by that. Infinitely better than the Pink Floyd cover he does, tho.
 
This is almost too fast. Feels like a ska song; nothing wrong with that but I'd rather have it slowed down a bit.

Really?  Low ratings?  A classic covered by another great artist - in French?  What's NOT to like?  damn...
