Je Cours Lyrics in English Stromae

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Cours by Stromae from French to English.
Ça y est j'viens d'y naître
That's it, I just got born there
J'sais pas où je vais, ni où j'suis
I don't know where I'm going, or where I am
Mais tous veulent y être
But everybody wants to be there
Quelque part, là-bas dans la vie
Somewhere, over there in life
Et là, je veux y mettre le pas
And now, I want to step in
Mais seule mon âme a l'accès
But only my soul has access
Et je sais
And I know
Que je n'ai aucun de ses abcès
That I don't have any of those abscesses
Plus léger qu'd'hab'
Lighter than usual
Je m'envole et frôle le sol
I take off and skim the ground
Où collent mes quatre pattes
Where my four paws stick
Chut, soudain ces vampes chantent
Shh, suddenly those vamps sing
Qu'une âme sait qu'celle-ci est absente
That a soul knows this one is missing
Tous morts, marre de vivre
All dead, sick of living
Mais mes envies de vie chiffrent alors j'suis ivre
But my urges to live add up so I'm drunk
De pensées d'nuances
With thoughts of shades
De chansons d'sens
With songs of meaning
Et je ne sais sur quel pied j'danse
And I don't know which foot I'm dancing on
Donc je pars
So I leave
Non-stop je pars
Non-stop I leave
En retard comme toujours c'est pourquoi
Late as always that's why
Je dimdamdam
I dimdamdam
Je dimdamdam
I dimdamdam
Oui, dimdamdam
Yeah, dimdamdam
Et puis je, dimdamdam
And then I, dimdamdam
Ensuite je, dimdamdam
Next I, dimdamdam
Et après bein je, dimdamdam
And after, well I, dimdamdam
Oui, dimdamdam
Yeah, dimdamdam
Et je, dimdamdam
And I, dimdamdam
Et je continue, de métro en neurones
And I keep going, from subway to neurons
Les gens frôlent leur contenu
People brush past their content
Mais il m'en faudra plus qu'un temps
But I'll need more than a moment
Afin de couper la faim de ces tympans
To cut the hunger of these eardrums
Car ils nous mangent crunk
Because they eat us crunk
Ou en sauce
Or with sauce
Ils mangent les airs et laissent les sons
They eat the tunes and leave the sounds
Oui il m'fait peur ce public
Yeah that crowd scares me
Je n'ai pas peur de la mort mais de l'oubli
I'm not afraid of death but of being forgotten
C'est bien c'que t'as fait
It's what you did
Qu'on retient d'toi
That people remember
Mais surtout pas c'que t'avais
But not what you had
En plus j'n'ai pas d'bol
Besides I'm unlucky
Donc heureusement, que je ne rêve pas d'toucher le pactole
So luckily I don't dream of hitting the jackpot
Car ce sera sans et m'connaissant
Because it'll be without, and knowing me
J'brasserai des liasses avec ma malchance
I'll be shuffling wads with my bad luck
Tu vois pourquoi j'aimerais être porc, lion
You see why I'd like to be pig, lion
Ou homme et vivre sans remords
Or man and live without remorse
Mais c'est plus fort que moi
But it's stronger than me
Et comme je n'aime pas l'homme je reste hors de moi
And since I don't like man I stay beside myself
Toujours ailleurs je fais du surplace
Always elsewhere I tread water
Même mes pensées courent et se surpassent
Even my thoughts run and outdo themselves
Sur la lune très peu veulent m'y voir
On the moon very few want to see me there
Et j'y retourne souvent pour qu'eux me rejoignent
And I go back often so they'll join me
Au lieu de passer le temps à me nourrir
Instead of spending time feeding myself
Je fuis, pense avant de mourir
I run away, think before dying
Je dimdamdam
I dimdamdam
Je dimdamdam
I dimdamdam
Oui, dimdamdam
Yeah, dimdamdam
Et puis je, dimdamdam
And then I, dimdamdam
Ensuite je, dimdamdam
Next I, dimdamdam
Et après bein je, dimdamdam
And after, well I, dimdamdam
Oui, dimdamdam
Yeah, dimdamdam
Et je, dimdamdam
And I, dimdamdam
