Sans Viser Personne Lyrics in English by Benjamin Biolay
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sans Viser Personne by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
Il n'y a pas d'amour, il n'y a que des illusions
There's no love, there are only illusions
Il n'y a pas deux ciels, il n'y a qu'un seul horizon
There aren't two skies, there's only one horizon
Il n'y a pas de larmes, il n'y a que des sanglots longs
There are no tears, there are only long sobs
Sans viser personne
Without aiming at anyone
Il n'y a plus d'osmose, plus personne au diapason
There's no more osmosis, nobody in tune anymore
Il n'y a plus de cosmos au dessus de nos balcons
There's no more cosmos above our balconies
Il n'y a que des fosses, plus que des dalles de béton
There are only pits, only concrete slabs left
Sans viser personne
Without aiming at anyone
Déçu de vous, déçu de nous
Disappointed with you, disappointed with us
Je ne crois plus en rien du tout
I don't believe in anything at all anymore
Y a plus d'Absolut, y a que de l'herbe de bison
There's no more Absolut, there's only bison grass
Il n'y a plus de brute au grand cœur sous le blouson
There's no more brute with a big heart under the jacket
Il n'y a plus de putes, il ne reste que les visons
There are no more wh*res, only minks are left
Sans viser personne
Without aiming at anyone
Il n'y a plus d'ensemble, il n'y a que des divisions
There's no more unity, there are only divisions
Sous le ciel qui flambe au pays du roi des cons
Under the blazing sky in the land of the king of a**holes
Il n'y a plus d'été, il n'y a plus de belles saisons
There's no more summer, there are no more beautiful seasons
Sans viser personne
Without aiming at anyone
Déçu de vous, déçu de nous
Disappointed with you, disappointed with us
Je ne crois plus en rien du tout
I don't believe in anything at all anymore
Il n'y a plus de gauche, il n'y a que des moribonds
There's no more left, there are only dying people
Il n'y a plus d'ébauche, plus que de vilains brouillons
There are no more sketches, only ugly rough drafts
Il n'y a plus de chance, il n'y a que des décisions
There's no more luck, there are only decisions
Sans viser personne
Without aiming at anyone
Y a plus de phalanges, y a plus que des hommes-tronc
There are no more phalanges, there are only torso men
Plus de baie des Anges mais des tronçons, des tronçons
No more Bay of Angels but sections, sections
Sous le ciel orange, au pays du roi des cons
Under the orange sky, in the land of the king of a**holes
Sans viser personne
Without aiming at anyone
Déçu de vous, déçu de nous
Disappointed with you, disappointed with us
Je ne crois plus en rien du tout
I don't believe in anything at all anymore
Déçu de vous, déçu de nous
Disappointed with you, disappointed with us
Je ne crois plus en rien du tout
I don't believe in anything at all anymore

Did you like this lyrics translation?
moribonds — dying / moribund
Moribonds translates to "dying" or "moribund." It's a strong, somewhat formal word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it particularly striking.
In the context of Benjamin Biolay's song, which paints a bleak picture of a decaying society, "moribonds" is used to describe the state of political ideologies: "Il n'y a plus de gauche, il n'y a que des moribonds" (There's no more left, there are only the dying). This word powerfully conveys a sense of decline and hopelessness, reflecting the song's overall melancholic and critical tone.
