Laissez rêver l'enfant qui dort
Let the sleeping child dream
Aux fumées bleues des châteaux-forts
To the blue smoke of the castles
Laissez-lui démonter le ciel
Let him take the sky apart
Dehors c'est toujours pareil
Outside it's always the same
Le coin des rues comme des frontières
The corner of the streets as borders
Et toujours penser à se taire
And always think about being silent
La ville encerclée sous le gel
The city surrounded under frost
Depuis c'est toujours pareil
Since then it's always the same
Le temps malmène
The malmene weather
Ces hommes qui traînent
These men who hang out
Le poids de leur corps
The weight of their bodies
Leurs phrases vides
Their empty sentences
Leurs larmes sèches
Their dry tears
Leurs années d'effort
Their years of effort
Les rues immenses
Huge streets
Où le givre s'avance
Where frost moves forward
Et la patrouille dehors
And patrol the patrol outside
C'est à peine si les pavés résonnent
It's hardly if the cobblestones resonate
Sous le pas lourd des moitiés d'homme
Under the heavy step of the man halves
Les mains fermées sur leur colère
Hands closed on their anger
Les yeux comme privés de lumière
Eyes as deprived of light
Peut-être un jour si dieu s'en mêle
Maybe one day if God gets involved
La pluie remontera au ciel
Rain will rise to the sky
Vers nos immobiles remords
Towards our still remorse
Mais c'est toujours pareil dehors
But it's always the same outside
Le temps malmène
The malmene weather
Et s'il veut vivre longtemps
And if he wants to live a long time
Surtout laissez rêver l'enfant
Above all let the child dream
