Si Tu Suis Mon Regard Lyrics in English by Benjamin Biolay
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Si Tu Suis Mon Regard by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
Trop longtemps, cent fois trop longtemps que j'suis tout seul
Too long, a hundred times too long I've been all alone
À fumer jusqu'au bout du filtre blanc chaque menthol
Smoking every menthol down to the end of the white filter
À regarder l'océan qui convole
Watching the ocean that weds
Avec les yachts de ces millionnaires, débonnaires
With the yachts of these debonair millionaires
Qui pissent, le ventre à l'air, dans la mer
Who p*ss, bellies bare, in the sea
Si tu suis mon regard, tu verras des doutes
If you follow my gaze, you'll see doubts
Des gens qui partent tard, tard au bord de la route
People who leave late, late by the side of the road
Tu verras le soleil qui recule d'un pas
You'll see the sun stepping back a pace
Qui devient vert bouteille et comment c'est chez moi
That turns bottle green and what it's like at my place
Trop longtemps, cent fois trop longtemps que je suis tout sale
Too long, a hundred times too long I'm all dirty
Que j'attends quel que soit le temps qui m'est fatal
That I wait whatever the time that's fatal to me
Je regarde le grand mur blanc qui se décale
I watch the big white wall that shifts
L'amour est un éphémère glace et verre
Love is an ephemeral ice and glass
Qui casse dès qu'il est triangulaire
That breaks as soon as it's triangular
Si tu suis mon regard, tu verras des doutes
If you follow my gaze, you'll see doubts
Des gens qui partent tard, tard au bord de la route
People who leave late, late by the side of the road
Tu verras le soleil qui recule d'un pas
You'll see the sun stepping back a pace
Qui devient vert bouteille et comment c'est chez moi
That turns bottle green and what it's like at my place
Si tu suis mon regard, tu verras des plaines
If you follow my gaze, you'll see plains
Des taxis et des gares, gares, gare à la migraine
Taxis and stations, stations, beware of the migraine
Tu verras tout vermeil, tu verras tout plus bas
You'll see everything crimson, you'll see everything lower down
Tu liras tout Verlaine, tu rentreras chez moi, chez moi
You'll read all of Verlaine, you'll come back to my place, to my place
Trop longtemps, cent fois trop longtemps que j'suis tout seul
Too long, a hundred times too long I've been all alone
(Tout seul, tout seul)
(All alone, all alone)
Trop longtemps, cent fois trop longtemps que j'suis tout seul
Too long, a hundred times too long I've been all alone
(Tout seul, tout seul, tout seul, tout seul, tout seul)
(All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone)
Si tu suis mon regard, tu verras des doutes
If you follow my gaze, you'll see doubts
Des gens qui partent tard, tard au bord de la route
People who leave late, late by the side of the road
Tu verras le soleil qui recule d'un pas
You'll see the sun stepping back a pace
Qui devient vert bouteille et comment c'est chez moi
That turns bottle green and what it's like at my place
Si tu suis mon regard, tu verras des plaines
If you follow my gaze, you'll see plains
Des taxis et des gares, gares, gare à la migraine
Taxis and stations, stations, beware of the migraine
Tu verras tout vermeil, tu verras tout plus bas
You'll see everything crimson, you'll see everything lower down
Tu liras tout Verlaine, tu rentreras chez moi
You'll read all of Verlaine, you'll come back to my place
Chez moi, chez moi, chez moi, tu verras tout plus bas
At my place, at my place, at my place, you'll see everything lower down

Did you like this lyrics translation?
convole — marries / unites
Convole comes from the verb convoler, which means to marry or unite, often with the nuance of marrying quickly or for a second time. It's a more formal and less common word than se marier.
In the song, Benjamin Biolay uses it poetically: "À regarder l'océan qui convole avec les yachts de ces millionnaires" (Watching the ocean that marries/unites with the yachts of these millionaires). This personification of the ocean marrying the yachts creates a vivid, almost ironic image of nature's grandeur mingling with human opulence, making it a memorable and intriguing word choice.
