These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Les lumières de la ville me ramènent aux années de sang
The city lights take me back to the years of blood
Le lierre écarlate et les murs blancs
Scarlet ivy and white walls
L'indifférence des passants
The indifference of passers-by
Les lumières de la ville me ramènent aux années perdues
City lights take me back to the lost years
J'n'étais assis guère que sur mon cul
I was sitting little more than on my ass
Ces souvenirs là j'les ai tous vus
These memories there I have seen them all
Mauvaises rencontres
Bad encounters
Moyenne personne
Average person
Guère plus personne quand les lumières s'éteignent
Hardly anyone when the lights go out
Où vont elles?
Where are they going?
Les lumières de la ville me ramènent au siècle d'avant
The city lights take me back to the century before
3 place métiviers ménilmontant
3 place Métiviers Ménilmontant
Et la pluie sur ton t-shirt blanc
And the rain on your white T-shirt
Les lumières de la ville me ramènent aux premières amours
The city lights take me back to my first love
Hôtel sans papier au petit jour
Paperless hotel at dawn
Finir dans l'escalier d'secours
Ending up on the fire escape
Mauvaises rencontres
Bad encounters
Moyenne personne
Average person
Guère plus personne quand les lumières s'éteignent
Hardly anyone when the lights go out
Où vont elles?
Where are they going?
Les lumières de la ville, étoiles de mes années d'efforts
The lights of the city, stars of my years of effort
Qu'aimeraient pas que j'sois triste pour rien
What wouldn't I wish I were sad for nothing?
Qu'aimeraient que j'me fasse du bien
What would I like to do myself good
Les lumières de la ville
City lights
