Qui fait marcher les hommes dans ce monde de fous ?
Who makes men walk in this crazy world?
Fait qu'ils vendent leur âme et se traînent à genoux
Makes them sell their souls and drag themselves on their knees
Qui fait tourner la terre et puis tourner les têtes
Who makes the earth turn and then turn heads
Billet vert ou billet doux, billet vert ou billet doux
Greenback or sweetheart note, greenback or sweetheart note
Qu'est ce qui fait des hommes des requins et des loups ?
What makes men sharks and wolves?
Qu'est ce qui fait que l'on donne et que l'on nous prend tout ?
What makes us give and take everything?
Qu'est-ce qui nous est cher ? Qu'est-ce qui vaut le coup ?
What is dear to us? What's worth it?
Billet vert ou billet doux, billet vert ou billet doux
Greenback or sweetheart note, greenback or sweetheart note
Combien ça va ? Ça va comme l'argent que l'on gagne
How much does it go for? It goes like the money we earn
Combien ça va ? Ça va comme le temps que l'on perd
How much does it go for? It's like the time we waste
Combien par jour ? Ça ne compte plus mais ça vaut très bien, merci
How much per day? It doesn't count anymore but it's very worth it, thank you
On achète la forme, on détourne le fond
We buy the form, we divert the substance
On achète comptant mais on plisse le front
We buy cash but we wrinkle our foreheads
On t'invite à dîner si tu paies l'addition
We invite you to dinner if you pay the bill
Billets doux ou billets verts, ces amis qui nous sont chers
Sweet notes or greenbacks, these friends who are dear to us
Combien ça va ? Ça va comme l'argent que l'on gagne
How much does it go for? It goes like the money we earn
Combien ça va ? Ça va comme le temps que l'on perd
How much does it go for? It's like the time we waste
Combien par jour ? Ça ne compte plus mais ça vaut très bien, merci
How much per day? It doesn't count anymore but it's very worth it, thank you
Combien ça va ? Combien ça va ? Ça va comme je vaux
How much does it go for? How much does it go for? It's as good as I'm worth
J'achète une bonne conduite pour combler le déficit
I buy a good ride to make up the deficit
D'une autre valeur à la baisse, celle du peu d'amour qu'il nous reste
Of another decreasing value, that of the little love we have left
Combien pour mon silence ? Pour ne pas dire ce que je pense ?
How much for my silence? To not say what I think?
Combien le cœur d'un homme ? À combien tu l'estimes, dis-moi ?
How big is a man's heart? How much do you estimate it, tell me?
Combien ça va ? Ça va comme l'argent que l'on gagne
How much does it go for? It goes like the money we earn
Combien ça va ? Ça va comme le temps que l'on perd
How much does it go for? It's like the time we waste
Combien par jour ? Ça ne compte plus mais ça vaut très bien, merci
How much per day? It doesn't count anymore but it's very worth it, thank you
