Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Funambule by Grand Corps Malade from French to English.

At each era

We search a little

And we wonder if we know each other

We are ourselves

We do what we can

We won't change

That's what we promise

Between asphalt and red carpet

I slalomed all around

I rub shoulders with the trash and opulence

I learn to do the splits

Life offers so many themes

Sometimes I speed up, sometimes I brake

I see both sides of the system

Yet I don't feel schizophrenic

I try not to make too many mistakes

And in my choices, I feel free

I believe in this thing from the bottom of my heart

Everything is a matter of balance

It's for this need for balance

That I had to take some risks

After a stroke of bad luck

My life was heading to be sad

Kept away from sports fields

Like a rebound, I compensated

I needed another support

I threw myself into writing

It's for this need for balance

That I needed some adventure

My whole story was closing in

I needed to find an opening

I hit the accelerator

To regain sensations

Because when I walk at a snail's pace

I needed compensation

I am a tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

Feet on the ground

Air in my bubble

Balance is an attitude

I am a tightrope walker

Tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

I am a tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

Feet on the ground

Air in my bubble

Balance is an attitude

I am a

Tightrope walker

Feet on the ground

I am a tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

Feet on the ground

Air in my bubble

Balance is an attitude

I am a tightrope walker

Tightrope walker

Air in my bubble

I am a tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

Feet on the ground

Air in my bubble

Balance is an attitude

I am a

Tightrope walker

I am a tightrope walker

So I crossed paths with showbiz

I saw the kingdom of egos

Who can make the most entries

Who will provoke the most echoes

I won't bite the hand that feeds me

Where I am, I feel good

But to keep my balance

I won't forget where I come from

It's for this need for balance

That I keep a bit off the beaten path

Because I also love human life

When the artist's life stops

Between the moonlight

And that of the spotlights, now I know

That I have my place at the Olympia

But also in the community centers

I take a step back, I take precautions

When I see the glitz and glamour

The nice ones feel important

They stress me out, they're not clear

I won't bite the hand that feeds me

I've met very good people

But I will always recognize myself more

In those who come from where I come from

It's for this need for balance

That we played in cathedrals

But right after, eye to eye

With a captive audience

It's for this need for balance

That all my feelings collide

When I see the audience rise

I think of my son going to bed

I am a tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

Feet on the ground

Air in my bubble

Balance is an attitude

I am a tightrope walker

Tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

I am a tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

Feet on the ground

Air in my bubble

Balance is an attitude

I am a

Tightrope walker

I am a tightrope walker

If I love the night, it's thanks to the day

And I love the day thanks to the night

I love being alone thanks to the crowd

And thanks to silence, I love the noise

I need all of that to make it vibrate

I want to feel strong and scared

Everything is a matter of balance

I believe in this thing from the bottom of my heart

If in a life things go haywire

It's because the balance has gone awry

To keep it, it's crucial

Not to rest on one's laurels

So I remain vigilant

Even if it means creating disorder

Between the icy and the burning

I love the softness, I love it to bite

Balance is in nature

I'm not inventing anything, it goes without saying

You need rain and sunshine

For the flower to bloom

You need the exception in the rule

For life to have more flavor

You need strength and skill

For the child to stand up

I shed light to see the future

But sometimes I prefer to turn it off

In life, the goal doesn't matter

What counts is the journey to reach it

So I move on a wire

Among the paths that diverge

In awkward balance

I am a tightrope walker with crutches

I am a tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

Feet on the ground

Air in my bubble

Balance is an attitude

I am a tightrope walker

Tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

I am a tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

Feet on the ground

Air in my bubble

Balance is an attitude

I am a

Tightrope walker

Feet on the ground

I am a tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

Feet on the ground

Air in my bubble

Balance is an attitude

I am a tightrope walker

Tightrope walker

Air in my bubble

I am a tightrope walker

I move far from certainties

Feet on the ground

Air in my bubble

Balance is an attitude

I am a

Tightrope walker

I am a tightrope walker
