## Transcript

[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense) The team just worked it out with Constant.

[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=3) There's a dysfunctional problem in the song "I Have Two Passions."

[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=7) It makes no sense. It makes no sense. Because it starts like this: I have two passions.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=14) The brass band. The revolution. Sure. Does it stop there?

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=18) And then? I'm asking you. No, it goes on.

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=24) It goes on and on listing things. So either we say: I have six passions and then the son— the song is correct, it's functional, or we have to be careful with words, words have meaning.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=38) And so the official version should be...

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=41) I have two passions, the brass band, the revolution.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=48) The brass band, the revolution. The revolution, the brass band.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=57) My friend Étienne, yes, he has the same first name, has another take, another take the next day afterward.

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=63) I'll explain. Actually, the two passions are the brass band, the revolution and then, in the rest of the verse, we describe the revolution. Right.

[1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=71) There are blockades, sabotage, ZADs, wild demonstrations.

[1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=74) But… Okay. We'd need other verses to describe the brass band.

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=79) Yes, yes, because here, it's only the revolution that's described.

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=81) Here, it's only the revolution that's described.

[1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=82) And it's unclear because the transitive part is missing, that is, actually, it's: I have two passions, the brass band, comma, the revolution, colon.

[1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=93) Which means the ZADs. Right, and that's what we didn't understand.

[1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=96) That's what we don't understand in the song. That's where the mistake is.

[1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/TFP6EnjvPHU5/en/j-ai-deux-passions-do-the-song-s-lyrics-make-sense?t=97) There's a mistake, but… We come and tell each other that like this.
