Padam Lyrics in English Benjamin Biolay
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Padam by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Bien souvent je me suis réveillé avant le lever du soleil, avant de quitter l'hôtel
Quite often I woke up before sunrise, before leaving the hotel
Engoncé dans mon complet croisé
Inflated in my complete crusader
Si souvent, j'ai gardé pour moi mes vicissitudes et mes vices
So often I have kept to myself my vicissitudes and vices
Et tourments, tournis, turpitudes
And torments, whirlwinds, turpitudes
L'horreur d'un souvenir passé
The horror of a past memory
{refrain:}
'refrain:'
J'attendais en vain
I waited in vain
Que le monde entier m'acclame
Let the whole world cheer me
Qu'il me déclare sa flamme
Let him declare his flame to me
Dans une orgie haut de gamme
In a high-end
Padam padam padam padam pam pam
Padam padam padam padam pam
Souvent, je me suis pris pour un autre et j'ai fait des doubles fautes
Often I thought I was someone else and made double faults
Double sec, double dose, double dame avec les femmes d'un autre
Double dry, double dose, double lady with the women of another
Plus souvent qu'à mon tour j'ai bu le sang des vautours
More often than I did I drank the blood of the vultures
J'ai cru les gens qui m'entourent
I believed the people around me
Qui rêvent de bonheur
Who dream of happiness
Mais se foutent éperdument du nôtre
But don't give a damn about ours
{au refrain}
'to the chorus'
Si, souvent, sur la sellette, je rêvais de paillettes, long est le chemin qui mène
If, often, on the hot seat, I dreamed of glitter, long is the path that leads
À la faillite en presque tous les domaines
Bankruptcy in almost every area
Si, souvent, j'ai broyé du noir, du gris, du magenta, du marc, de l'eau-de-vie
If, often, I have crushed black, grey, magenta, marc, brandy
De l'art de vivre sans personne qui t'aime
The art of living without anyone who loves you
{au refrain}
'to the chorus'
Padam padam padam padam pam pam
Padam padam padam padam pam
{au refrain}
'to the chorus'
