BeIfort!
JULY 5th 2009
EUROCKEENNES FESTIVAL,
BELFORT, FRANCE
After the concert,
you'II go meet the girIs!
They'II aII come and say,
''I Iove you.''
But be carefuI,
it's not Iike the Congo here.
If they get cIingy, you say,
''Honey, I'm off to Germany.''
Staff Benda BiIiIi.
Very, very strong!
We're going to be on fire today!
It's hot out.
l'm an orphan, alone in the world
My parents died
a long time ago
My daddy told me never to steal
He'd say, ''Listen to me
and you'll live a long life''
Kids don't listen anymore
They join gangs,
the Kuluna
Our advice goes out the window
it's so hard
There's nothing to eat at home
so they join the Kuluna
Delinquents, gangsters, the Kuluna
What's the solution? The Kuluna
What's this Kuluna business, Roger?
Tell us about it
Before he died, my daddy said,
''lf you want to live a long life,
avoid problems
''And respect the world's principles''
l'm just a kid,
l have a long way ahead of me
l listened to my old man
And l'm still alive
Young man,
your parents are there to help you
Being in a gang is short-term
You're playing with your life,
little brother
Very, very strong!
We're visiting Iots of countries.
After Germany,
we're off to Denmark.
We won a trophy.
Tomorrow they've giving us a trophy
because we won.
And then we're taking a pIane
to another country.
To OsIo which is even farther.
I couIdn't caII you before
but everything is fine.
It's very coId.
AII the musicians say hi.
She hung up.
No more credit!
l used to sleep on cardboard
l used to sleep on cardboard
You have to be strong, right?
The work mentaIity.
Work is serious business.
We're serious, sure,
but we're freezing our asses.
- It's freezing!
- It's tough.
They don't fooI around here.
If you mess up,
you turn into an ice cube.
They were wrong,
those who didn't beIieve in us.
Staff was our project.
And today that project
is coming to Iife.
It's becoming a reaIity.
Hey, my friend, never forget
Today you have a plate
but you used to eat on the ground
Hey, my friend, never forget
Today from a plate,
tomorrow, on the ground
My friend, don't forget
Don't forget
the wind can blow the other way
Never forget

the Argentinean Ambassador's wife.

Your rotten life?
Staff, straight ahead
Benda Bilili
How do you pull through
Your rotten life?
Carried by Staffs love,
we will never die
ln Staffs hands, we get ahead
ln Staffs hands, we get ahead
Our leaders don't care about us
Our leaders don't care about us
We only count on each other
Staff Benda Bilili!
You have to understand
ln order to pull through
your rotten life
This whisky is strong!
Drink up.
Come on, a IittIe for Papa Ricky.
- Is there any weed around?
- Yeah, I Iike that better.
We'II get in troubIe.
Smoking weed is serious here.
You can't get caught.
I heard they have
marijuana detectors.
- Those things on the ceiIing?
- No, those are just...
If the smoke gets too thick,
Everything's wet
and you have to Ieave the hoteI.
- ImmediateIy.
- You Ieave your room right away.
You have to watch out.
Of aII of us,
the one who was most affected
by our success is Roger.
You shouId see the kid
in his neighbourhood.
in his neighbourhood.
- He bought a TV.
- A TV and everything!
- A couch.
- A mattress. He organised his Iife.
At 18,
Roger has become a man.
He'II have a house,
he's straightening himseIf out.
I guarantee you,
this kid wiII do great things.
Papa Ricky knows
He knows his chiId has a future
He often says,
''We're going to die soon.
''We're getting oId,
you have to take over the orchestra.''
We've suffered together.
Ricky knows I come from far away.
I want him to know
that he can count on me.
