Tu commenças ta vie
You started your life
Tout au bord d'un ruisseau
Right on the edge of a stream
Tu vécus de ces bruits
You lived by these noises
Qui courent dans les roseaux
Who run in the reeds
Qui montent des chemins
Who climb paths
Que filtrent les taillis
What the thickets filter
Les ailes du moulin
The wings of the mill
Les cloches de midi
Midday bells
Soulignant d'un sourire
Emphasizing with a smile
La chanson d'un oiseau
A bird's song
Tu prenais des plaisirs
You took pleasure
À faire des ronds dans l'eau
To make circles in the water
Aujourd'hui tu ballottes
Today you are tossing around
Dans des eaux moins tranquilles
In less calm waters
Tu t'acharnes et tu flottes
You persist and you float
Mais l'amour, où est-il?
But where is love?
L'ambition a des lois
Ambition has laws
L'ambition est un culte
Ambition is a cult
Tu voudrais que ta voix
You would like your voice
Domine le tumulte
Dominate the tumult
Tu voudrais que l'on t'aime
You would like us to love you
Un peu comme un héros
A bit like a hero
Mais qui saurait quand même
But who would know anyway
Faire des ronds dans l'eau
Make circles in the water
S'il y a tous ces témoins
If there are all these witnesses
Que tu veux dans ton dos
That you want behind your back
Dis-toi qu'ils pourraient bien
Tell yourself that they could well
Devant tes ronds dans l'eau
In front of your circles in the water
Te prendre pour l'idiot
take you for the idiot
L'idiot de ton village
The idiot from your village
Qui lui est resté là
Who stayed there
Pour faire des ronds dans l'eau
To make circles in the water
Pour faire des ronds dans l'eau
To make circles in the water
