Assez Parlé De Moi Lyrics in English by Benjamin Biolay
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Assez Parlé De Moi by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
J'avale le vent, j'avale la vie, j'avale les gens, j'avale la nuit
I swallow the wind, I swallow life, I swallow people, I swallow the night
Je bois le jour, je bois le verre, je bois le vide, je vois mon frère
I drink the day, I drink the glass, I drink the void, I see my brother
Qui parle au vent, qui parle au bruit, qui parle aux gens qui sont partis
Who talks to the wind, who talks to the noise, who talks to the people who are gone
J'avale le vent, j'avale mes cris, je cale mes pas sur ceux d'autrui
I swallow the wind, I swallow my screams, I align my steps with others'
Je vole au vent, je vole de nuit dans les tympans, dans les tempi
I fly in the wind, I fly by night in the eardrums, in the tempos
Je vois le large, la Normandie et son bocage et son ennui
I see the open sea, Normandy and its hedgerows and its boredom
Je crois les autres, je crois les bruits, je suis en cage, ou sans abri
I believe others, I believe the noises, I'm in a cage, or homeless
J'avale le vent, j'avale la vie puis me resape au saut du lit
I swallow the wind, I swallow life then get dressed again out of bed
Mais assez parlé de moi
But enough about me
Mais assez parlé de moi
But enough about me
J'avale la peur, j'avale la mort, j'avale ma sueur, j'ai mal au cur
I swallow fear, I swallow death, I swallow my sweat, I feel sick
Je bois la mer, je vois derrière les meurtrières des imposteurs
I drink the sea, I see behind the loopholes of impostors
Je crois le sot qui voit le doigt, au clair de lune, juste le doigt
I believe the fool who sees the finger, by moonlight, just the finger
Dans la lagune, juste le doigt, dans la belle brune, juste le doigt
In the lagoon, just the finger, in the beautiful brunette, just the finger
Mais assez parlé de moi
But enough about me
Mais assez parlé de moi
But enough about me
Mais assez parlé de moi
But enough about me
J'avale le vent, j'avale la vie, j'avale les gens, j'avale la nuit
I swallow the wind, I swallow life, I swallow people, I swallow the night
Je bois le jour, je bois le verre, je bois le vide, je vois mon frère
I drink the day, I drink the glass, I drink the void, I see my brother
Qui parle au vent, qui parle au bruit
Who talks to the wind, who talks to the noise
Qui parle aux gens qui sont déjà partis
Who talks to the people who are already gone
J'avale le temps, j'avale mes cris, je cale mes pas sur ceux d'autrui
I swallow time, I swallow my screams, I align my steps with others'
Je vole au vent, je vole de nuit dans les tympans, dans les tempi
I fly in the wind, I fly by night in the eardrums, in the tempos
Je vois le large, la Normandie et son bocage et son ennui
I see the open sea, Normandy and its hedgerows and its boredom
J'avale le vent, j'avale la vie, j'avale le vent, j'avale la vie
I swallow the wind, I swallow life, I swallow the wind, I swallow life
J'avale le vent, j'avale la vie
I swallow the wind, I swallow life
Mais assez parlé de moi
But enough about me
Mais assez parlé de moi
But enough about me
Mais assez parlé de moi
But enough about me

Did you like this lyrics translation?
meurtrières — loophole / embrasure
Meurtrières literally translates to "murderesses" but in this context, it refers to "loopholes" or "embrasure" - narrow openings in a castle wall through which defenders could shoot.
In the song, Benjamin Biolay sings, "Je vois derrière les meurtrières des imposteurs" (I see behind the loopholes of imposters). This creates a vivid image of seeing through the deceptive defenses or hidden motives of imposters, suggesting a sense of vigilance and disillusionment. It's a unique and evocative word that adds depth to the lyrics.
