These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ce soir, il prendra les 400 coups
Tonight, he'll take the 400 shots
À ta chute ou à sa perte les paris vont doubler
When you fall or lose it, the bets will double
Être une star à la sueur de son cœur
Being a star with the sweat of your heart
Le corps marqué par l'absence de la peur
The body marked by the absence of fear
Il n's'agit pas de chats miaulant
These are not cats meowing
Juste des poids lourds dans une danse violente
Just heavyweights in a violent dance
Prix pulitzer d'expression corporelle
Pulitzer Prize for Body Expression
Une collision de bulldozers
A bulldozer collision
Triple accident de chars d'assaut
Triple tank accident
Car il va falloir
Because we're going to have to
Que tombe l'un de ces deux garçons, ce soir…
What falls one of these two boys tonight ..
L'un de nous deux doit tomber en public
One of us must fall in public
Depuis, ton visage est sur mes miroirs
Since then, your face has been on my mirrors
Couches-toi vite, j'ai une histoire à fonder
Go to bed quickly, I have a story to found
Cela implique que ce soir…
This implies that tonight..
Les vrais fous se font pas interner
The real fools don't get interned
Ils rêvent les yeux ouverts, poings fermés
They dream with their eyes open, fists closed
D't'façon, il n'y a pas de sous-métiers
In a way, there are no sub-trades
Encore moins celui de champion du monde entier
Even less that of world champion
Tellement ils ne savent pas
So they don't know
Hein, quand t'es seul sur le ring
Well, when you're alone in the ring
J'en ai vu dans ce cas
I've seen some in this case
Leur jeans sentaient l'urine
Their jeans smelled of urine
La vie est ironique: s'échapper des ruelles
Life is ironic: escaping from the alleys
Pour vivre de duels
To live duels
À la fin, y'aura qu'un type à l'horizontal
In the end, there will be only one guy horizontally
Le respect mutuel, mais ce soir…
Mutual respect, but tonight..
L'un de nous deux doit tomber en public
One of us must fall in public
Depuis, ton visage est sur mes miroirs
Since then, your face has been on my mirrors
Couches-toi vite, j'ai une histoire à fonder
Go to bed quickly, I have a story to found
Cela implique que ce soir…
This implies that tonight..
La tête haute, le corps aéroporté
Head up, body airborne
Dans la bulle que forme la corde à sauter
In the bubble that forms the skipping rope
Instinct de survie prononcé
Pronounced survival instinct
C'est le combat de l'épuisement contre la volonté
It is the struggle of exhaustion against the will
C'est de là qu'elle est partie, l'action
That's where she left, the action
Une science dont vous n'avez pas la notion
A science you don't think about
Courir les milliers de kilomètres
Running thousands of miles
Se nourrir par la force et finir honnête
Feeding by strength and ending up honest
Mais l'ange-douceur, le son du cuir qui cogne
But the angel-sweetness, the sound of the leather that knocks
Il n'est pas né d'une cité mais d'une cigogne
It was not born of a city but of a stork
Hélas... ce soir... hélas... ce soir…
Alas... Tonight... Alas... Tonight..
L'un de nous deux doit tomber en public
One of us must fall in public
Depuis, ton visage est sur mes miroirs
Since then, your face has been on my mirrors
Couches-toi vite, j'ai une histoire à fonder
Go to bed quickly, I have a story to found
Cela implique que ce soir…
This implies that tonight..
