About Rouge Sang

Rouge Sang is a studio album by French singer Renaud released in 2006. It gained particular media attention for the song Elle est facho (She's a fascist) which portrays a female Front National voter. The song brought about a controversy because of its last verse à la facho... qui vote Sarko (to the fascist... who votes Sarko); Sarko being a nickname for the then minister and candidate for presidential election Nicolas Sarkozy. Sarkozy's party, UMP considered the song an unreasonable attack on the run up to the elections, but Sarkozy still won while Rouge Sang went platinum on the day of its release. The album spent nine weeks in the French top ten including two weeks at number 1 and it has gone on to sell over half a million copies. The album was later repackaged with a live CD of the associated tour, Tournee Rouge Sang

Entre ce sang qui coule sur le sable de l'arène
Et fait vibrer la foule barbare, inhumaine

Ce sang rouge qui jaillit
Comme l'eau des fontaines
Du taureau accroupi sous l'acier madrilène

Et puis le sang versé hier à Tienanmen
Qui a éclaboussé vos mémoires et la mienne

Comme une étrange ressemblance
Même douleur, même peine
Comme une étrange ressemblance
Même couleur, d'où qu'il vienne

Entre ce sang qui coule
Sur le flanc des baleines
Harponnées dans la houle
Décimées par centaines

Celui des loups, des ours
Dans les steppes lointaines
Abattus dans leur course pour une vie sans chaîne

Et le sang qui rougit, la peau de porcelaine
De ces enfants d'Asie, birmanes, tibétaines

Six milliards de consciences
Et combien appartiennent
A cette triste engeance
A ce troupeau de hyènes

Qui voit des différences
Entre toutes ces haines
Ces torrents de souffrances
Animales ou humaines

La mort est un théâtre dans tous les cas obscène
Le rouge, l'écarlate coule des mêmes veines

Comme une étrange ressemblance
Même douleur, même peine

Several of his songs are popular classics in France, including the sea tale "Dès que le vent soufflera", the irreverent "Laisse béton", the ballad "Morgane de toi" and the nostalgic "Mistral gagnant". However, with the exception of a recording of "Miss Maggie" in English and a franglais recording of It is not because you are, his work is almost unknown outside the French-speaking world. more »
