J'ai baissé la tête
I lowered my head
J'ai ôté mon chapeau
I took off my hat
Sans jouer les vedettes
Without playing the stars
Sans la vie de château
Without castle life
A l'évidence
Clearly
Je vais payer pour mon imprudence
I'm going to pay for my recklessness
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Un seul pied sur la terre
One foot on the ground
Et l'autre au paradis
And the other in paradise
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Car de mes congénères
For of my fellow
Implorer la merci non merci
Implore the thank you no thanks
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Qui surgit d'un mystère
Emerging from a mystery
Comme le ver du fruit
Like the fruit worm
Comme un cri dans la nuit
Like a cry in the night
J'ai creusé la terre
I dug the earth
Sans jouer les héros
Without playing the hero
J'entendais le tonnerre
I could hear the thunder
Et puis après l'écho
And then after the echo
A l'évidence
Clearly
Je vais payer des années d'errance
I'm going to pay for years of wandering
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Un seul pied sur la terre
One foot on the ground
Et l'autre au paradis
And the other in paradise
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Car de mes congénères
For of my fellow
Implorer la merci non merci
Implore the thank you no thanks
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Et le soleil en pire
And the sun worse
En chevauchant les nerfs
Riding the nerves
Sur un lévrier gris
On a grey greyhound
Nommé blondi
Named blondi
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Et le soleil aussi
And the sun too
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
A la place du père
In the father's place
Avec au fond des yeux
With at the back of your eyes
Le ciel cent fois promis
Heaven a hundred times promised
Le monde à ma merci
The world at my mercy
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
Regarder la lumière
Watching the light
