Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Apprends à dormir by Noir Désir from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Il se passe des heures ici
There are hours going on here
Sans que rien ne troue l'ennui
Nothing holes in boredom
Comme le temps qui coule essaie
As the flowing weather tries
De nous assassiner
To murder us
A genous sous la lune
Kneeling under the moon
Ou quand le soleil enclume
Or when the sun anvil
Comment se retendent les nerfs
How the nerves are getting back on their way
Des révolutionnaires
Revolutionaries
Et comme les illusions croûlent
And as illusions crolate
Je pouvais pleurer tout mon soûl
I could cry all my drunk
Attendons seulement le soir
Let's just wait till night
Personne ne peut nous voir
No one can see us
Apprends à dormir
Learn to sleep
Glisse lentement
Slide slowly
Sans réfléchir
Without thinking
Mais n'me demande pas comment
But don't ask me how
Ton âme est lasse
Your soul is weary
Elle a dû trop revoir hélas
She must have seen too much, alas
Les mêmes choses et les mêmes gens
The same things and the same people
Et toujours comme avant
And always as before
Ici quelque part en france
Here somewhere in France
En attendant l'échéance
Waiting for the deadline
Certains n'éprouvent ni fierté
Some feel no pride
Ni honte à être nés
No shame in being born
Apprends à dormir
Learn to sleep
Glisse lentement
Slide slowly
Sans réfléchir
Without thinking
Mais n'me demande pas comment
But don't ask me how
