about
This track Jocondes (plural) is dedicated to all these women who are victims of domestic violence. I called it that, for the enigmatic smile of the famous painting "La Joconde (Leonard de Vinci), because women often take refuge behind a mask to hide their fear or their distress.
I wrote it in April 2018, for a compilation named "Contre-coups" which helps abused women.
Whatever amount you decide to donate, rest assured that your money will be put to good use for women in distress.

lyrics
J'ai beau détruire des barricades
J'ai beau frapper sur mon tambour
pour que le monde accourt
Je ne vois pas de différence
Dans vos sourires et vos complaisances
Quand il s'agit de parler d'amour
Nous les femmes qui vous donnons le jour
Quand il s'agit de parler d'amour
Ne prenez pas nos corps pour un champ de labour
Mais si on laisse faire
Mais si on doit se taire
Comment apprendre aux hommes
j'ai beau crier votre indécence
A massacrer leur innocence
Je ne vois vraiment aucun sens à tout cela
Est-ce ainsi que les femmes ne pleurent pas
Est-ce ainsi qu'on leur parle d'amour
A ces femmes qui donnent le jour
Est-ce ainsi qu 'on leur parle d'amour
Combien de ces jocondes
Aux sourires dévastés
Ne sont que proie de l'ombre
De vos chasses gardées
Combien de ces jocondes
Aux corps écarquillés
Peuplent les nuits sans honte
De soudards par milliers
Comment briser l'indifférence
Quand vous leur faites autant d'offenses
Est-ce ainsi que les femmes ne pleurent pas
Quand il s'agit de mourir sous vos ébats
Mais si on laisse faire
Mais si on doit se taire
j'ai beau détruire des barricades
J'ai beau frapper sur mon tambour
Mais qui des hommes pour leur porter secours
textes et musique : Catherine Watine

No matter how I destroy barricades
No matter how hard I hit my drum
so that the world comes running
I don't see a difference
In your smiles and your kindnesses
When it comes to talking about love
We the women who give you birth
When it comes to talking about love
Don't take our bodies for a plowing field
But if we let it happen
But if we have to be quiet
How to teach men
I may cry your indecency
To massacre their innocence
I really don't see any sense in all of this
Is this how women don't cry
Is that how we talk to them about love
To those women who give birth
Is that how we talk to them about love
How many of these jocondes
With devastated smiles
Only fall prey to the shadows
Of your guarded hunts
How many of these jocondes
With googly bodies
Populate the nights without shame
Thousands of soldiers
How to break indifference
When you make them so many offenses
Is this how women don't cry
When it comes to dying under your frolics
But if we let it happen
But if we have to be quiet
I may destroy barricades
No matter how hard I hit my drum
But who of the men to rescue them
