Les Négresses Vertes

Les Négresses Vertes, formed in 1987, is a French music group that is best described as a fusion of world music and some aspects of alternative rock. Their tracks often feature acoustic guitar and accordion, as well as some tracks containing many other 'traditional' instruments such as piano and brass. Their style is fairly upbeat and energetic on the majority of their tracks, with unusual rhythms, vocals delivered with a generous dose of zeal and vibrant energy, and accompaniment melodies ranging from lilting and distant to eccentric and fast-paced. These two factors give many of their pieces a strong sense of direction. more »

Pour oublier ses kilos To forget her pounds
Elle calcule ses fafiots She calculates her banknotes
Si il lui manque un bifton If a buck is missing
Alors il why a baston Then there's a beating
Do genre qui rigole pas of the kind that isn't funny
Et un coup de pompe dans le chat And a kick of the cat
Elle descend au bistro She goes downstairs to the bistro
Siffler ses quinze Pernods Whistles her 15 Pernods
Arrivee au troquet Arriving at the cafe
Sa presence laisse muet. Her presence leaves them speechless
