Le costume blanc Lyrics in English Joe Dassin

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le costume blanc by Joe Dassin from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Et ce type-là devant la glace
And this guy in front of the ice
De sa loge, une serviette autour du cou
From his dressing room, a towel around his neck
Ce type-là, je le regarde bien en face
This guy, I look him in the face
Et je ne le reconnais pas, mais pas du tout
And I don't recognize him, but not at all
Le balladin de tout à l'heure
The balladin of earlier
Qui chantait sous les projecteurs
Who sang in the spotlight
Il redevient monsieur untel
He becomes Mr
Qui va rentrer dans son hôtel
Who's going to go back to his hotel
Voici le decor à l'envers
Here's the decor upside down
L'autre côté de la lumière
The other side of the light
Sur une chaise un costume blanc
On a chair a white suit
Une chanson déjà oubliée
A song already forgotten
Et sur les murs de la cité
And on the walls of the city
Les restes de publicité
Advertising remnants
Qui volent au vent
Flying in the wind
Le magicien qui a fini son numéro
The magician who finished his act
Range ses cartes et son lapin
Put away his cards and his rabbit
Et moi je rentre ma guitare et mon lasso
And I'm going home with my guitar and my lasso
Et je me rentre dans ma peau jusqu'à demain
And I'm getting into my skin until tomorrow
Un steak au buffet de la gare
A steak at the station buffet
Avec les visiteurs du soir
With evening visitors
Et un whisky pour le moral
And a whiskey for morale
Dans une boîte couleur locale
In a local colour box
Voici le decor à l'envers
Here's the decor upside down
L'autre côté de la lumière
The other side of the light
Sur une chaise un costume blanc
On a chair a white suit
Une chanson déjà oubliée
A song already forgotten
Et sur les murs de la cité
And on the walls of the city
Les restes de publicité
Advertising remnants
Qui volent au vent
Flying in the wind
Et ce type-là qui se réveille sans savoir
And this guy who wakes up not knowing
Dans quelle ville il a dormi
In which city he slept
Ce type-là je le retrouve tous les soirs
This guy I meet him every night
Et je n'arrive pas à croire que c'est bien lui
And I can't believe it's him
Le balladin, l'illusionniste
The balladin, the illusionist
Qui va refaire son tour de piste
Who's going to go around again
J'ai devant moi monsieur untel
I have before me, sir,
Un simple client de l'hôtel
A simple hotel guest
Voici le decor à l'envers
Here's the decor upside down
L'autre côté de la lumière
The other side of the light
Sur une chaise un costume blanc
On a chair a white suit
Une chanson déjà oubliée
A song already forgotten
Et sur les murs de la cité
And on the walls of the city
Les restes de publicité
Advertising remnants
Qui volent au vent
Flying in the wind
