Derrière des barreaux
Behind bars
Pour quelques mots qu'il pensait si fort
For a few words he felt so strongly
Dehors
Outside
Oui dehors, il fait chaud
Yes outside, it's hot
Et des milliers d'oiseaux s'envolent
And thousands of birds fly away
Sans effort
Without effort
Quel est ce pays
What is this country
Où frappe la nuit
Where night strikes
La loi du plus fort?
The law of the strongest?
Diego, libre dans sa tête
Diego, free in his head
Derrière sa fenêtre
Behind his window
S'endort peut-être
Maybe falls asleep
Et moi qui danse ma vie
And I who dance through life
Qui chante et qui rit
Who sings and who laughs
Je pense à lui
I think of him
Diego, libre dans sa tête
Diego, free in his head
Derrière sa fenêtre
Behind his window
S'endort peut-être
Maybe falls asleep
Mais quel est ce pays
But what is this country
Où frappe la nuit
Where night strikes
La loi du plus fort?
The law of the strongest?
Diego, libre dans sa tête
Diego, free in his head
Derrière sa fenêtre
Behind his window
Déjà mort
Already dead
Peut-être
Maybe

Did you like this lyrics translation?
barreaux — bars (of a prison cell)
Barreaux refers to the bars of a prison cell. While the singular barreau means 'bar' or 'rod', the plural form barreaux specifically evokes the image of imprisonment.
In the song, it immediately sets a somber tone, describing Diego's confinement: "Derrière des barreaux" (Behind bars). It's a poignant word that highlights the central theme of freedom and captivity, making it both memorable and impactful.
