Lyrics : Pourquoi tu vis
| French | English |
|---|---|
| On t’a fait un monde | We made you a world |
| Trop petit | Too small |
| Pour tes idées, | For your ideas, |
| Pour l’appétit de tes grands yeux | For the appetite of your big eyes |
| Écarquillés | Wide open |
| Sur l’infini. | On infinity. |
| Tu es prisonnière de ta maison, | You’re a prisoner of your home, |
| De tes parents, | Of your parents, |
| De cet adulte qui te dit qu’il a raison | Of this adult who tells you he’s right |
| Et qui te ment | And lies to you |
| Toi, tu es née pour la folie, pour la lumière | You were born for madness, for light |
| Pour des pays | For countries |
| Peuplés de rois. | Filled with kings. |
| Et tu te demandes dans ta nuit de prisonnière | And you wonder in your prisoner’s night |
| Pourquoi tu vis et où tu vas | Why you live and where you go |
| Pourquoi tu vis et où tu vas | Why you live and where you go |
| Tu n’as pas d’avion, ni de bateau | You have no plane, no boat |
| Pour t’en aller. | To get away. |
| Les illusions qui restent sont un grand radeau | The illusions that remain are a great raft |
| Qui va couler | That’s going to sink |
| Et pourtant tu veux de tout ton corps, | And yet you want with all your body, |
| De tout ton cœur | With all your heart |
| Briser enfin le noir et blanc de ton décor | To finally break the black and white of your decor |
| De grandes couleurs. | With great colors. |
| Toi, tu es née pour la folie, pour la lumière | You were born for madness, for light |
| Pour des pays | For countries |
| Peuplés de rois. | Filled with kings. |
| Et tu te demandes dans ta nuit de prisonnière | And you wonder in your prisoner’s night |
| Pourquoi tu vis et où tu vas | Why you live and where you go |
| Pourquoi tu vis et où tu vas | Why you live and where you go |
| Toi, tu es née pour la folie, pour la lumière | You were born for madness, for light |
| Pour des pays | For countries |
| Peuplés de rois. | Filled with kings. |
| Et tu te demandes dans ta nuit de prisonnière | And you wonder in your prisoner’s night |
| Pourquoi tu vis et où tu vas | Why you live and where you go |
| Toi, tu es née pour la folie, pour la lumière | You were born for madness, for light |
| Pour des pays | For countries |
| Peuplés de rois. | Filled with kings. |
| Et tu te demandes dans ta nuit de prisonnière | And you wonder in your prisoner’s night |
| Pourquoi tu vis et où tu vas | Why you live and where you go |
| Pourquoi tu vis et où tu vas | Why you live and where you go |
