Rue De La Paix Lyrics in English Zazie

Home / Lyrics Translation / Zazie / Rue De La Paix

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rue De La Paix by Zazie from French to English.

I sell my car because I drive too fast

And it scares me

I sell my fortune because so much success

Does not make me happy

I sell my charms and my weapons

My violence and my sweetness

I save my skin

Sell my soul to the devil

I sell my factory before oxygen

Runs out on us

I sell my gasoline before the sea

Dies at our feet

I save the bear's skin before killing it

I save the furniture and sell the house

To put a hotel on Rue de la Paix

A world where everyone would love each other

Finally

I buy a castle in Spain

I buy a world where everyone wins

In the end

I sell my chance card and dip into the cash register

We've earned it

To receive an advance if it's to give back to the community

I take action even if it monopolizes attention

And stay a few turns in jail

To put a hotel on Rue de la Paix

A world where everyone would love each other

Finally

I buy a castle in Spain

I buy a world where everyone wins

In the end

I sell everything I have for everything I lack

I sell what can be bought for what is priceless

I sell what I'm worth for what is most dear to me

And if it's not worth a dime

So be it, I'll give it all

To put a hotel on Rue de la Paix

A world where everyone would love each other

Finally

I buy a castle in Spain

I buy a world where everyone wins

In the end

A hotel on Rue de la Paix

A castle in Spain

I buy a castle in Spain

I buy a world where everyone wins
