Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En route pour la joie by Noir Désir from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Qui a mine la base
Who has undermined the base
Qui a fait sauter l'pont
Who blew up the bridge
Qui avait disposé
Who had disposed
Du ciment sous les plaines
Cement under the plains
Qui savait au debut
Who knew at first
Qu'il y aurait une fin
That there would be an end
Qui êtes vous messieurs-dames
Who are you ladies and gentlemen
Pour me parler comme ca
To talk to me like that
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna, hosanna
Et en route pour la joie
And on the way to joy
De la gelée encore
Jelly again
Du givre au bord des lèvres
Frost at the edge of the lips
Mais où sont les mots secrets
But where are the secret words
C'est des bornes d'hopital
It's hospital terminals
C'est des couloirs en vrac
It's loose corridors
Du néon malicieux
Mischievous neon
Et de la douche en laque
And shower in lasca
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna, hosanna
Et en route pour la joie
And on the way to joy
De l'os après la chair
From the bone after the flesh
De l'acide au rabais
From acid to discount
Jusqu'à en faire pourrir
To the point of rotting it
Les derniers noyaux frais
The last fresh cores
Qui recréera la base
Who will recreate the base
Qui reconstruira l'pont
Who will rebuild the bridge
Qui saura déchirer
Who will tear
Le ciment sous les plaines
Cement under the plains
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna, hosanna
Et en route pour la joie
And on the way to joy
