Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ernestine by Noir Désir from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
J'en ai connu des comme toi
I've known people like you
Un peu plus fines
A little thinner
Un peu moins sûres de leur loi
A little less sure of their law
C'est dans les us
It's in the us
Du pays des sortilèges
From the land of spells
Parfums de chine
Perfumes of China
Ou bien de n'importe quoi
Or anything
Et ton austin
And your austin
Qui of course ne démarre pas
Who of race does not start
Dors c'est mieux
Sleep is better
Ou cherche des yeux
Or look for eyes
Le prochain clown qui te guette
The next clown waiting for you
Ernestine, ernestine
Ernestine, Ernestine
Tu entends des voix
You hear voices
Reste digne
Remains dignified
Les places sont chères ici-bas
Seats are expensive down here
Le chant des cimes
The song of the peaks
S'atteint ou ne s'atteint pas
Reaches or does not reach
Passe les nuits
Spend the nights
Chasse les bruits
Chasing noises
Il y en a d'autres qui te suivent
There are others who follow you
