Batterie Faible Lyrics in English by CARLA
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Batterie Faible by CARLA from French to English.
On rit assis sur les boulevards
We laugh sitting on the boulevards
On y croit, on fait comme-ci
We believe in it, we pretend
Et puis on prie comme s'il n'était jamais trop tard
And then we pray as if it were never too late
On s'y voit dans l'allure des phares
We see ourselves in the headlights' glow
Serrez-la contre quoi? On ne sait pas
Hold her tight against what? We don't know
Pourquoi mais la nuit on se marre
Why, but at night we laugh
Mais au fond de nos cœurs électriques
But deep down in our electric hearts
On cherche le bonheur
We search for happiness
On attend le déclic
We wait for the click
Batterie faible
Low battery
On est de ceux qui attendent l'étincelle
We're among those who wait for the spark
Mais y a personne pour répondre à l'appel
But there's nobody to answer the call
De la génération
Of the generation
Batterie faible
Low battery
On est de ceux qui attendent l'étincelle
We're among those who wait for the spark
Mais y a personne pour répondre à l'appel
But there's nobody to answer the call
De la génération
Of the generation
Danser, danser, nous déguiser
Dance, dance, disguise ourselves
En autant de remèdes
As many remedies
Qu'est qu'on n'a pas trouvé
What haven't we found
Pour tant aimer se perdre
To love getting so lost
On s'recharge les poches trouées
We recharge our torn pockets
Parfois on appelle à l'aide
Sometimes we call for help
Puis on rebaisse le nez vers ces écrans qui obsèdent
Then we lower our gaze again to these screens that obsess
Mais au fond de nos cœurs électriques
But deep down in our electric hearts
On cherche le bonheur
We search for happiness
On attend le déclic
We wait for the click
Batterie faible
Low battery
On est de ceux qui attendent l'étincelle
We're among those who wait for the spark
Mais y a personne pour répondre à l'appel
But there's nobody to answer the call
De la génération
Of the generation

Low battery
On est de ceux qui attendent l'étincelle
We're among those who wait for the spark
Mais y a personne pour répondre à l'appel
But there's nobody to answer the call

Batterie faible
Low battery
On est de ceux qui attendent l'étincelle
We're among those who wait for the spark
Mais y a personne pour répondre à l'appel
But there's nobody to answer the call
De la génération

Low battery
De la génération
Of the generation

Did you like this lyrics translation?
déclic — click / trigger / turning point
Déclic literally means 'click' (like a switch) or 'trigger'. However, it's often used metaphorically to mean a 'turning point' or a sudden realization.
In the song, the lyrics "On cherche le bonheur / On attend le déclic" (We're looking for happiness / We're waiting for the turning point) perfectly capture the feeling of anticipation for that moment when everything falls into place or a new understanding dawns. It's a common yet profound expression in French.
