Cloudman Lyrics in English Dionysos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cloudman by Dionysos from French to English.
My name's Tom Bruise Cloudman
The worst stuntman in the world and the galaxy
Tom Bruise Cloudman, sun included
Bruise Cloudman
Cloudman
Bruise Cloudman
Easier to toss than origami
A crumpled paper bird that got caught in the rain
Bruise Cloudman
Not so super, this hero with no magic power
I'm not a comic-book superhero
But the sound of my bones breaking is pretty comic
As soon as reason has its back turned
Tom Bruise Cloudman is always ready to blow up
I live like a top made of flesh and blood
My balance only held while moving
Bruise Cloudman
I've never been able to resist those sweet mice
Who, from the height of their multicolored patent shoes
Whispered, 'Encore'
I splattered like a whole-grain crêpe
I blew myself up like a carnival firecracker
My name's Tom Bruise Cloudman
The worst stuntman in the world and the galaxy
Tom Bruise Cloudman, sun included
Bruise Cloudman
As soon as reason has its back turned
Tom Bruise Cloudman is always ready to blow up
Tom attracts bruises
As if he were electrified
Cloudman
Bruise Cloudman
Cloudman
Bruise Cloudman
Cloudman
Bruise Cloudman
Cloudman
Bruise Cloudman
Cloudman

SONG MEANING

Cloudman launches us into the wild, slap-stick universe of Tom Hématome Cloudman, “the worst stuntman in the world and the galaxy.” Dionysos paints him as a crumpled paper bird, light enough to be tossed around yet heavy with bruises. Every time reason looks away, this human firework is ready to blow himself up again, turning the crack of breaking bones into a darkly comic drumroll. His only balance comes from perpetual motion, spinning like a blood-and-flesh top that would topple if it ever slowed down.

Beneath the cartoon chaos, the song salutes the beauty of glorious failure. Tom rushes toward pain not out of super-hero bravado but because the cheers of “encore” make him feel alive. Dionysos invites us to embrace our own dents and scratches, to keep leaping even when we know we will land with a thud. Cloudman is a poetic reminder that resilience can look messy, noisy, and hilariously ungraceful—yet it is still a form of flight.
