Souvent dans ses cheveux

Ou souvent dans ses poches
Or often in his pockets
Ou souvent dans ses cheveux
Or often in his hair
Le regard souvent qui décroche

Quand il salue
When he greets
On croirait qu'il s'excuse
You'd think he's apologizing
Quand il se moque, avant qu'on rétorque
When he laughs, before we retort
Il nous dit: 'T'inquiète j'abuse'
He tells us: 'Don't worry, I'm exaggerating'
Il est secret
It is secret
Discret mais simple
Discreet but simple
Le cœur ancré à des principes

Rigides et humbles
Rigid and humble
Dans son code est inscrit

'On ne juge pas on plaint
'We don't judge, we pity
On ne juge pas et on ne craint que soi'

'Assez parlé de moi' il dirait

Les yeux penchés vers le sol
Eyes bent towards the ground
S'il m'entendait mais
If he could hear me, but
Il est pas si sain que ça, il aime bien parfois

Qu'on le cajole, il est pas contre être l'idole

Y'a pas de mérite à dominer les gens quand on s'en fout

Et lui il court souvent

Son corps et lui ne sont pas ennemis

En tout cas il construit le type qu'il aime

Y'a douze milles façons de construire une vie
There are twelve thousand ways to build a life
Et il s'est pas privé, il a grandi
And he didn't deprive himself, he grew up
Au gré de ses envies
According to your desires
Qui l'ont mené vers des mômes et des vacances
Which led him to kids and holidays
L'harmonie de l'évidence
The harmony of the obvious
C'est la chance qui perd face à lui
It is luck that loses to him
Bien sûr y'a eu des tonnes de connes
Of course there were tons of assholes
Qu'ont pas vu la taille énorme de son âme
What have not seen the enormous size of his soul
Et elle l'a pris, lui et son môme, des cendres
And she took him and his kid from the ashes
C'est juste sa modestie qu'elle réclame
It's just her modesty that she is asking for
Qu'elle admire
Whom she admires
Qu'elle déclame
Let her declaim
Woh
Woh
