Raaaaaaah la bagnole en ville dans les bouchons sous la pluie... le petit bruit énervant des essuies-glaces...
Et puis j'ai mis la musique et j'ai eu une tirade en russe mentionnant notre chat "Sputnik"
et cette page youtube a la gentillesse de nous expliquer
Американская фирма Transceptor Technologies приступила к производству компьютеров «Персональный спутник»",
of which a better transliteration would be:
"Amerikanskaya firma Transceptor Technologies pristupila k proizvodstvu komp'yuterov Personal'ny sputnik"
Can be translated as "American company 'Tranceptor Technology' started producing 'personal companion computers"
évidemment, si vous n'êtes pas trop djeunes ou si vous êtes djeunes mais que vous avez un minimum de culture musicale (tout est possible en ce bas-monde), vous vous souvenez:
C'est des Teutons en fait (qui font plutôt Afro-américains, faut dire), c'est sans doute pour ça que c'est du bon et du solide malgré son âge respectable - 25 ans déjà:
The Power est une chanson du groupe de musique allemand Snap! issu de leur album World Power (1990) (source: wikipédia)
ça a notamment bercé mon long voyage en Afrique de l'Ouest hiver 1991-printemps 1992, on l'entendait dans les boîtes les plus "djungle" (au propre et au figuré) et tout le monde criait "I've got the power" ce qui avait un je-ne-sais quoi d'anticolonialiste, voire, osons le mot, de carrément révolutionnaire qui n'était pas pour me déplaire.
