rembarsays...Ahaha that's f*cking terrible rap, even for Swiss rap. Um, if I find my attention span, I'll translate it. For now, here's the translation of the description on Youtube:
"The clip 118 Projec't was officially launched on September 18, 2007, for the public awareness campaign on the use of the emergency number, 1-1-8. Produced by the ("Sapeurs"?) professional firemen of Geneva, the clip includes scenes with all the professional firemen of Switzerland ("Romande?). You will see firemen from Lausanne, Neuchâtel, Chaux de Fond, Geneva and the Gendarmerie of the Vaud canton, in a very original movie."
*edit* Ok, here's a very loose translation of the song, I tried to get it to rhyme/sound rap-ish, but I'm not that good. This had better be getting published, I just spent like 15 minutes translating this damn thing:
118 Projec't (in English)
*People calling about fires*
*One person calls asking for information*
NO!!!
This's a story about three numbers
One-one-eight
This's the story about a number
One-hundred and eighteen
Everyone is calling the wrong place for information
Everyone is calling us asking questions
Yo man, don't you get this ain't an information office
That it's a fucking emergency service?
Don't you understood that 1-1-1 is done
And 1-1-8 can't give you any information?
This's the dispatchers' office
But with 1-1-8, we get bothered all the time
All day long we're bothered
By you people, looking for phone numbers
"No, ma'am, you're mistaken, this is the Fire Department."
"No, sir, we don't know the tax office's number."
So that this error isn't repeated, listen the hell up:
[CHORUS]
1-1-8
Cram it in your head
1-1-8
That's the number to dial quickly
1-1-8
That's the number to remember
1-1-8
Dial when you're in trouble
1-1-8
Are you going to remember?
1-1-8
If you have to, tattoo it on yourself
1-1-8
If you can't remember, write it on your underwear(?)
If your neighborhood is on fire,
Or everything is up in smoke,
If your car says "Crack, bang, ah!"
And you have to be pulled out from it,
If you smell gas, before it explodes,
Dial 1-1-8
And for any other emergency that you need to be saved
Remember that number,
One day, maybe you'll be saved in the nick of time
If you have an electricity problem,
Call the right department
If you've lost your fucking keys,
Call the locksmith
If the toilet is blocked,
Call the plumber,
And for little pets,
Don't ever dial this number!
[Chorus]
Huh? What's the new 1-1-1?
I don't know, I'm taking a shit
Hurry up, my apartment looks like a fucking jacuzzi
Tell me who to call!
I think it's 1-1-7 or something like that,
No, that's the police, they can't do anything
Oh, fuck me, call 1-4-4
1-4-4 is in case of broken bones
Well, man, what's the number to dial ?
Easy, man, take off your pants and look at your underpants
(Spoken)
One day, you're gonna need us, but all our lines will all be busy
And your house will keep on burning
Despite the cry: "Firemen, emergency!"
Phone calls are flooding in
Your home sweet home will go up in smoke
Because you couldn't reach us, maybe because of you!
Yeah man, 10 minutes wasted is one more tragedy
[Chorus]
Yeah, that's all. Yep.
