Lyrics : Génération Goldman

French English
Graver l’écorce, jusqu’à saigner Carving into bark till you bleed
Clouer les portes, s’emprisonner Nailing the doors shut, locking yourself up
Vivre des songes, à trop veiller Living inside a dream from staying up too late
Prier des ombres, et tant marcher Praying to shadows and walking on for so long
J’ai beau me dire, qu’il faut du temps Though I keep telling myself it takes time
J’ai beau l’écrire, si noir sur blanc Though I keep writing it down
Quoi que je fasse où que je sois Whatever I do, wherever I am
Rien ne t’efface Je pense à toi Nothing erases you, I’m thinking of you
Passent les jours, vides sillons Pass days, empty furrows
Dans la raison, mais sans amour In the reason and without love
Passe ma chance, tournent les vents Goes my chance, rotate winds
Reste l’absence Obstinément Remains the absence, stubbornly
J’ai beau me dire Que c’est comme ça Though I keep telling myself that I can’t help it
Que sans vieillir On n’oublie pas That you don’t forget till you grow old
Quoi que je fasse Où que je sois Whatever I do, wherever I am
Rien ne t’efface Je pense à toi Nothing erases you, I’m thinking of you
Quoi que j’apprenne Je ne sais pas And whatever I learn, I don’t know
Pourquoi je saigne Et pas toi Why I am bleeding and you’re not
Y’a pas de haine, y’a pas de rois There’s no hatred, there is no king
Ni dieu ni chaînes, qu’on ne combat Neither god nor chain, that we do not fight
Mais que faut-il ? Quelle puissance ? But what does it take, what power
Quelle arme brise ? L’indifférence ? What weapon breaks the indifference?
Oh, c’est pas juste C’est mal écrit Oh that’s not fair, it is poorly written
Comme une injure Plus qu’un mépris As an insult, more than contempt
Et pas toi and you’re not
