Dans les cèdres
In cedars
Il y a le temps qui nous précède
There is the time before us
Il y a le printemps qui décède
Spring dies
Il y a du fado et du phèdre
There's fado and phadre
Sous lazur
Under lazur
De villas en villégiatures
From villas to resorts
Chacun bâtit son futur
Everyone builds their future
Et va de ratés et ratures
And goes from duds and scratches
Si en apparence il fait beau
If it's looking good
Il ne fait pas loin de zéro
It's not far from zero
Peu de soleil et pas despoir
Little sun and no hope
Depuis lobservatoire
From the procedure
Dans la plaine
On the plain
Il y a le temps qui nous enchaîne
There is time in our place
A nos douleurs et à nos peines
To our pains and sorrows
Déçu de nos desseins obscènes
Disappointed with our obscene designs
Mais sur lautre rive
But on the other side
Les plaisanciers les badauds ivres
Boaters drunk onlookers
De bonheur en définitive
Happiness in the end
Pas un radeau qui ne dérive
Not a raft that doesn't drift
Si en apparence il fait beau
If it's looking good
Sous la glace il ny a plus deau
Under the ice there is no more water
Peu de soleil et pas despoir
Little sun and no hope
Depuis lobservatoire
From the procedure
