These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Chaque chagrin avale son lot de tristesse fugitive
Every sorrow swallows its share of fleeting sadness
Alors on réchauffe contre nous nos joies répétitives
So we warm our repetitive joys against us
Caressant les cheveux de notre enfance éthérée
Stroking the hair of our ethereal childhood
Lui répétant qu'il est encore trop tôt pour crier
Telling him it's still too early to scream
On a appris à sourire comme des hommes bien élevés
We learned to smile like well-bred men
Pour détourner l'attention de nos sexes souillés
To distract attention from our defiled sexes
Mais on a oublié de nous montrer comment faire
But they forgot to show us how to do it
Pour trouver l'amour et lui prouver qu'on peut lui plaire
To find love and prove to him that you can please him
Mais quand les doutes arrivent, que la honte récidive
But when the doubts arrive, the shame returns
Nos joies répétitives savent nous rassurer
Our repetitive joys know how to reassure us
On met du noir, du bleu, pour barbouiller nos yeux
We put black, blue, to smear our eyes
Pour faire croire, même si c'est faux, qu'aujourd'hui on va mieux
To make people believe, even if it is false, that today we are better
On boit, on mange entre copains pour parler de nos habitudes
We drink and eat with friends to talk about our habits
Celles d'hier, celles de demain, pour comparer nos solitudes
Those of yesterday, those of tomorrow, to compare our solitudes
On se fout dans le nez ce qu'il nous reste à vivre
We don't care what we have left to live
Hurlant à tout vent comme on est heureux quand on est ivres
Screaming at the wind how happy we are when we're drunk
Essayant d'étouffer tout ce qui vient nous rappeler
Trying to stifle everything that reminds us
Qu'on est déjà à l'âge d'or du rebelle attardé
That we are already in the golden age of the retarded rebel
Mais quand les doutes arrivent, que la honte récidive
But when the doubts arrive, the shame returns
Nos joies répétitives savent nous rassurer
Our repetitive joys know how to reassure us
On embrasse tour à tour des garçons et des filles
We kiss boys and girls in turn
Car pour nous tout ce qui compte, c'est de voir des yeux qui brillent
Because for us all that matters is seeing eyes that shine
Mais on rêve secrètement de rencontrer notre amour
But we secretly dream of meeting our love
Celui qui durera jusqu'à la fin du dernier jour
The one that will last until the end of the last day
On accepte de ramper, le regard effacé
We agree to crawl, our eyes erased
La bouche qui veut vomir notre amour ravalé
The mouth that wants to vomit our swallowed love
On pense à cette fois parfaite où on a tout gâché
We think of that perfect time when we ruined everything
En laissant s'échapper un je t'aime mal placé
Letting out a misplaced I love you
Mais quand les doutes arrivent, que la honte récidive
But when the doubts arrive, the shame returns
Nos joies répétitives savent nous rassurer
Our repetitive joys know how to reassure us
Mais quand les doutes arrivent, que la honte récidive
But when the doubts arrive, the shame returns
Nos joies répétitives savent nous rassurer
Our repetitive joys know how to reassure us
