Passée la peur des mots
Beyond the fear of words
Passée la peur des livres
Beyond the fear of books
J'ai changé de peau
I have changed my skin
Tu sais, j'ai appris à lire
You know, I learned to read
Plus jamais la honte
Never shame again
Plus jamais rougir
Never blush again
J'ai fait les comptes
I have done the math
Tu sais, j'ai appris à dire
You know, I learned to say
À défaut de connaître
For lack of knowing
Plus de mots qu'un poète
More words than a poet
Rien ne vaut le savoir être
Nothing is worth knowing how to be
À défaut de s'écrire
For lack of writing to each other
Quelques mots ou de les lire
A few words or reading them
Rien ne vaut le savoir dire
Nothing is worth knowing how to say
Et savoir dire je t'aime, mmh-mmh
And knowing how to say I love you, mmh-mmh
Sans pudeur et sans gêne, wouh-oh-oh
Without modesty and without embarrassment, wouh-oh-oh
Y a des savants qui savent
There are scholars who know
Et le savent trop bien
And know it too well
Mais qui passent à côté
But who miss
Tu sais, de leur destin
You know, their destiny
Des petits hommes étroits
Narrow little men
Se prenant pour des rois
Taking themselves for kings
Qui parlent trop, tu vois
Who talk too much, you see
Ils jugent mais n'avouent pas
They judge but do not admit
À défaut de connaître
For lack of knowing
Plus de mots qu'un poète
More words than a poet
Rien ne vaut le savoir être
Nothing is worth knowing how to be
À défaut de s'écrire

À l'enfant qu'on fera
To the child we will have
Qui n'attendra que ça
Who will wait for nothing else
À la femme qu'on choisit
To the woman we choose
À de simples amis
To simple friends
À nos parents brisés
To our parents broken
Par une époque damnée
By a damned era
Où l'on ne montrait pas
Where we did not show
Tu sais, ça va changer
You know, this will change
À défaut de connaître
For lack of knowing
Plus de mots qu'un poète
