These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Depuis qu'j'suis p'tit, j'n'y ai rien compris
Since I was little, I haven't understood anything
Même si mes yeux me piquent, je vois
Even if my eyes sting, I see
Je les ferme et prie
I close them and pray
Et demande s'ils lui piquent des fois
And ask if they sting for him sometimes
Même si les dieux n'existent pas
Even if the gods don't exist
J'les ai confondus avec, leurs semblables
I've confused them with their likes
En costard cravate
In suits and ties
Ces marchands d'sable
These sand merchants
Qui promettent la Lune, sans connaitre la Terre
Who promise the Moon, without knowing the Earth
Qui s'appellent adultes, mais si terre à terre
Who call themselves adults, but are so down-to-earth
Je souris, je sourirai, j'ai souri
I smile, I will smile, I smiled
Ils ont cru qu'je riais, mais c'est même pas vrai
They thought I was laughing, but it's not even true
Madame l'a dit, elle, 'il faut être poli'
Madam said, 'you must be polite'
Vas-y dis 'Cheese', allez dis 'Cheese'
Go on, say 'Cheese', come on, say 'Cheese'
Pour le cliché, un peu pour s'cacher
For the cliché, a bit to hide
Mais sans humour noir, ou mauvais jeu de mot
But without dark humor, or bad pun
J'veux mourir de rire moi, mais sans sourire jaune
I want to die laughing, but without a forced smile
Juste quand j'ai mal alors, pour que ça passe, d'accord
Just when it hurts, so that it passes, okay
Mais rien qu'pour ça
But just for that
Que cette fois, pour célébrer les morts
This time, to celebrate the dead
Je souris, je sourirai, j'ai souris, je sourirai
I smile, I will smile, I smiled, I will smile
Je souris, je sourirai, j'ai souris, je sourirai
I smile, I will smile, I smiled, I will smile
Je souris, je sourirai, j'ai souris, je sourirai
I smile, I will smile, I smiled, I will smile
