Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hors la vie by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Lentement mais surement
Slowly but surely
on décline outrageusement
we decline outrageously
forcément, oui forcément
Inevitably, yes necessarily
on prend son temps
We take our time
on pense au temps d'avant
We think of the time before
sous le feu du firmament
Under the fire of the firmament
qui nous marque au fer blanc
that marks us with tinplate
On joue la comédie
We play the comedy
Hors La Vie, on marche sous la pluie
Outside La Vie, we walk in the rain
on joue la comédie
We play the comedy
Hors La Vie, on sonde l'infini
Out of Life, we probe the infinite
Lentement mais surement
Slowly but surely
on approche du néant
We are approaching nothingness
forcément, oui forcément
Inevitably, yes necessarily
on est à cran
We're on edge
à court de carburant
running out of fuel
on est de pauvres gens
We are poor people
pas plus forts et pas plus grands
not stronger and not bigger
On joue la comédie
We play the comedy
Hors La Vie, on marche sous la pluie
Outside La Vie, we walk in the rain
on joue la comédie
We play the comedy
Hors La Vie, on sonde l'infini
Out of Life, we probe the infinite
