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 |
