Les Oiseaux Lyrics in English Pierre de Maere

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Oiseaux by Pierre de Maere from French to English.
Je serre les dents
I grit my teeth
Je crains les oiseaux
I fear the birds
Qui plombent le ciel
That weigh down the sky
Et tirent au sort les innocents
And draw lots for the innocents
Mes beaux efforts
My beautiful efforts
Tout ça n'est que pour toi
All of that is just for you
Mes genoux me font mal
My knees hurt
Je fais le mort comme un enfant
I play dead like a child
Et j'ai mal
And it hurts
Je poursuis le combat
I continue the fight
J'ai si mal
I hurt so much
C'est pas vrai
It's not true
Non, non, c'est pas vrai
No, no, it's not true
Ces tarés m'ont cogné
These crazies hit me
Là où ça fait mal
Where it hurts
Moi j'hallucine à demi-mort
I’m half-dead hallucinating
Les tirs m'ont rendu sourd
The shots have made me deaf
Je pense à toi dehors et ça c'est tous les jours
I think of you outside and that’s every day
Ma tête est mise à mort
My head is sentenced to death
Me reste que l'amour
All that’s left for me is love
Le ciel m'accuse à tort et je paierai pour toujours
The sky wrongly accuses me and I will pay forever
Le prix des années folles
The price of the crazy years
La bêtise d'un homme
The foolishness of a man
Dans son bel uniforme
In his beautiful uniform
C'est pas vrai
It's not true
Non, non, c'est pas vrai
No, no, it's not true
Ces tarés m'ont tiré
These crazies shot me
En plein mon idéal
Right in my ideal
Ne m'oublie pas j'existe encore
Don't forget me, I still exist
Et s'ils te font la cour
And if they court you
Penses à ton boy dehors qui pleure les beaux jours
Think of your boy outside who cries for the good days
Ma tête est mise à mort
My head is sentenced to death
Me reste que l'amour
All that’s left for me is love
Le ciel m'accuse à tort et je paierai pour toujours
The sky wrongly accuses me and I will pay forever
Le prix des années folles
The price of the crazy years
La bêtise d'un homme
The foolishness of a man
Dans son bel uniforme
In his beautiful uniform
Je sers les dents
I grit my teeth
Je crains les oiseaux
I fear the birds
Qui tombent du ciel
That fall from the sky
Et qui dévorent les innocents
And that devour the innocents
Mes beaux efforts
My beautiful efforts
Ils n'étaient que pour toi
They were only for you
Mes genoux me font mal
My knees hurt
Je fais le mort comme un enfant
I play dead like a child
Et j'ai mal
And it hurts
J'ai perdu le combat
I lost the fight
J'ai si mal
I hurt so much
