These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quand la terre se fendit
When the earth cracks
C'était sous le règne des bandits
It was during the rule of the bandits
Qui avaient tout défiguré
Who had disfigured everything
Chaque ville entouré par
Each city surrounded by
Son cortège de hangars
His procession of hangars
Ses parkings alignés
Its park lots lined up
Les autoroutes étaient pleine
The highways were full
Des camions en file indienne
Trucks in Indian queues
De convois bloqués au péage
Convoys blocked at toll booths
On se parlait presque pas
We hardly talked
Et chacun pressait le pas
And everyone was pressing the stage
Son écran au ras du visage
His screen at the edge of the face
Le pays d'à côté est couvert de nuages
The country next door is covered with clouds
On séparait par croyance
We separated by belief
Les leçons d'auto-défense
Self-defense lessons
Les rues interdites d'entrée
Streets forbidden entry
La fumée ou le brouillard
Smoke or fog
Impossible de savoir
Unable to know
Chaque soir plus épais
Every night thicker
On noyait dans du plastique
We were drowning in plastic
Des repas automatiques
Automatic meals
Que la mer rejetait sur les plages
That the sea was throwing on the beaches
Braves gens dignitaires
Brave people dignitaries
Tout le monde laissait faire
Everyone let it go
Par profit ou manque de courage
Profit or lack of courage
Le pays d'à côté est couvert de nuages
The country next door is covered with clouds
Sous les pieds bousculés des moutons qui s'affolent
Under the jostled feet of sheep panicking
Le berger à genou qui cherche la boussole
The shepherd on his knees looking for the compass
Et les loups affamés qui attendent au grillage
And the hungry wolves waiting at the fence
Tombé juste au milieu de la cour d'une école
Fallen right in the middle of a schoolyard
L'arc-en-ciel démonté qui traîne sur le sol
The disassembled rainbow lying on the ground
Et tout le monde croit à des enfantillages
And everyone believes in childishness
Le pays d'à côté est couvert de nuages
The country next door is covered with clouds
Quand la terre se fendit
When the earth cracks
C'était sous le règne des bandits
It was during the rule of the bandits
Qui avaient bien prévu le coup
Who had planned the coup well
Bien tirer la couverture
Pulling the cover well
Profiter de la nature
Enjoying nature
Disparue on ne sait ou
Gone we don't know or
Sous les casques et les enceintes
Under helmets and speakers
Des télés jamais éteintes
TVs never turned off
Tournait le même message
Tournais the same message
Pardon de le répéter mais
Sorry to repeat it, but
Y a pas lieu de s'inquiéter
There's nothing to worry about
Le pays d'à côté est couvert de nuages
The country next door is covered with clouds
Y a pas lieu de s'inquiéter
There's nothing to worry about
C'est le pays d'à côté
This is the country next door
Le pays d'à côté qui est couvert de nuages
The country next door that is covered with clouds
Outro
Ne ressemblez jamais à ces moutons qui s'affolent
Never look like those sheep that are panicking
Disait le berger un jour qui cherchait la boussole
Said the shepherd one day looking for the compass
Le pays d'à côté est couvert de nuages
The country next door is covered with clouds
