These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ils ont troué la nuit
They pierced the night
D'un éclair de paillettes d'argent
With a flash of silver glitter
Ils vont tuer l'ennui
They will kill boredom
Pour un soir dans la tête des gens
For one evening in people's heads
A danser sur un fil, à marcher sur les mains
To dance on a wire, to walk on your hands
Ils vont faire des tours à se briser les reins
They're going to do tricks that will break their backs
Les forains
The showmen
Une musique en plein vent
Music in the open wind
Un petit singe savant
A clever little monkey
Qui croque une noisette en rêvant
Who crunches a hazelnut while dreaming
Sur l'épaule d'un vieux musicien
On the shoulder of an old musician
Qui, lui, ne rêve de rien
Who dreams of nothing
Ils ont troué la nuit
They pierced the night
D'un grand rire entremêlé de pleurs
With a big laugh mixed with tears
Ils ont tué l'ennui
They killed boredom
Par l'écho de leur propre douleur
By the echo of their own pain
Ils ont pris la monnaie dans le creux de leurs mains
They took the money in the palm of their hands
Ils ont plié bagages et repris leur chemin
They packed up and went on their way
Les forains
The showmen
Leurs gestes d'enfants joyeux
Their gestures of joyful children
Et leurs habits merveilleux
And their wonderful clothes
Pour toujours, sont gravés dans les yeux
Forever, are engraved in the eyes
Des badauds d'un village endormi
Onlookers from a sleeping village
Qui va rêver cette nuit
Who will dream tonight
Va rêver cette nuit
Go dream tonight
D'un éclair de paillettes d'argent
With a flash of silver glitter
Qui vient tuer l'ennui
Who comes to kill boredom
Dans le cœur et la tête des gens
In people's hearts and heads
Mais l'ombre se referme au détour du chemin
But the shadow closes at the bend of the path
Et Dieu seul peut savoir où ils seront demain
And only God can know where they will be tomorrow
Les forains
The showmen
Qui s'en vont dans la nuit
Who go away in the night
