J'fixe mes mains
I stare at my hands
Bonnes à rien
Good for nothing
De 8 heures de vie gaspillée
8 hours of wasted life
Le malheur gronde
Misfortune rumbles
Je l'attends, je l'ai mérité
I'm waiting for it, I deserved it
Et le corps transi de stress
And the body frozen with stress
On me borde, on m'asphyxie de tendresse
They tuck me in, they suffocate me with tenderness
Une autre nuit que je ne dormirai pas
Another night I won't sleep
On a rempli mes cahiers de notes tristes
My notebooks were filled with sad notes
Maintenant, même mon sommeil se veut productif
Now even my sleep is productive
Ma vie de papier manque de mots
My paper life lacks words
Pour peaufiner mes idéaux
To refine my ideals
J'essaie de gratter l'horizon d'un instant
I try to scratch the horizon for a moment
Mais je goûte la honte
But I taste the shame
De pas être fou
Not to be crazy
Et étudier pour prouver à des gens
And study to prove to people
Que j'suis prêt à tout pour eux, pour vendre mon temps
That I'm ready to do anything for them, to sell my time
Finir engourdis de bonheur comme mes parents
End up numb with happiness like my parents
Dans ces certitudes que crée l'argent
In these certainties that money creates
J'aime travailler, mais pas être travaillant
I like to work, but not to be working
Ma vie de papier manque de mots
My paper life lacks words
Pour peaufiner mes idéaux
To refine my ideals
Et quand ton âme te tourne le dos
And when your soul turns its back on you
Tu t'engouffre dans les métros
You rush into the subways
T'essaies de gratter l'horizon d'un instant
You try to scratch the horizon for a moment
Savoure la honte d'être un peu fou
Savor the shame of being a little crazy
Des rêves de kids au bout des doigts
Kids' dreams at your fingertips
Juste un verre de haut
Just a glass high
