They had met on school's benches
in between one hour of detention, of maths, or a spanish class
she was a funny girl, fan of football
he was unaffraid of bullets/balls, he was the goal ( in french 'balles' can mean bullets ie gun bullets, or balls ie foot balls, basket balls etc.)
what he used to promise to her was rides in a Corvette
until now in a tracksuit, he was stealing mopeds
but between them, it was complicity
stopover on a pedestal, a delimited dream
if he became triangle, she would be rectangle
the beauty and the bad boy, the triangular rectangle
it 's like going from Joe Dassin to Jodeci ( Joe Dassin is a famous french singer somehow rather kitsch : wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Dassin / Jodeci is a somehow obscure band from the USA also known as "the bad boys of R and B": wiki :  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodeci )
a really mad thing, pure style R and B video
she lives the Love, that starts in the playground
continues in the towers, and always rimes with always
but the context is stronger than the concept
her boy throw himself into flames, and washes himself with them

the under ensembles in the upper ensembles asssemble themselves
the beauty and the bad boy
the under ensembles in the upper ensembles assemble themselves
the beauty and the bad boy


the under ensembles in the upper ensembles assemble themselves
to earn money together.
talking , without faking it, of doing "jobs" together
and if it is bloody, they would plead in front of God together. ( understood !? ).
they were convincing, she was convinced
to believe that, today, to stop was out of question
they fabricate fake bank notes with slavic networks
"overcome" the competition, in France, it is a serious offense
risk for the cheekbones, the guys come out from baumettes  ( baumettes, is the name of a prison in the Marseille suburbs, south of France )
he has only one thing in mind, it's the quest for his Corvette
paranoid atmosphere, the adverse team takes forever
projectiles go off, when the BM brakes ( BM is a short for BMW )
when she falls down, tears well up from his eyes
two .22 bullets, 22 years old, Adieu.
the context is stronger than the concept
her boy has thrown himself into flames, now he has to wash himself with them.

the under ensembles in the upper ensembles asssemble themselves
the beauty and the bad boy
the under ensembles in the upper ensembles assemble themselves
the beauty and the bad boy

some corrections ?

They met back on the school's benches

he was unaffraid of bullets/balls, which was the goal ( in french 'balles' can mean bullets ie gun bullets, or balls ie foot balls, basket balls etc.
) ( goal as in the aim)
what he used to promise to her was rides in a Corvette
until now in a tracksuit, he was stealing scooters

"overcome" the competition, in France, it is a serious offense ( balance in french has several meanings, one is to beat/over come the other one is to tell on someone when someone is doing something wrong)

allthough the lyrics are translated in english the song has way less meaning then it does in french. In french i think its a beautiful song and the lyrics are amazing. The way he uses the words and the way he puts down what he means is amazing. sadly in english this lyrical art is lost.

the chorus is totally wrong.
"sous-ensembles" is another way to say small gangs, the "grands ensembles" is the projects
