A bout de souffle

(original)
Quand jai rouvert les yeux
Tout tait sombre dans la chambre
Jentendais quelque part comme une sonnerie
Jai voulu bouger…
Ae la douleur dans lpaule droite tout coup
Me coupa le souffle
Une peur affreuse menvahit
Et mon corps se couvrit de sueur
Toute ma mmoire me revint
Le hold-up, la fuite, les copains
Qui se font descendre…
Jsuis bless, mais je fonce et jai lfric
Je glissai la main sous loreiller
La mallette pleine de billets
Etait l, bien sage… Deux cents briques…
Somme toute a pouvait aller
Mon esprit se mit cavaler
Sre tait ma planque chez Suzy
Et bientt nous deux la belle vie
Les palaces, le soleil, la mer bleue, toute la vie…
Une radio sest mise dverser
Un air de piano tout casser
Je connaissais ce truc
Ctait le Blue Rondo la Turk
Dave Brubeck jouait comme un fou
Aussi vite que moi mettant les bouts
Soudain, la sonnerie du tlphone
Mon cur fit un bond
Je pris le rcepteur
All!, cest Suzy, a fait deux fois que jappelle
— Quest-ce quil y a?
— Y a un car de flics au coin de la rue
Je restai sans voix, jtais foutu
— Il faut que tu files, me dit-elle
Descends pas, sauve-toi par les toits
Bon Dieu dbon Dieu, bon Dieu dbon Dieu
Encore les flics, vite le fric
Et puis lescalier de service
Quatre quatre
Un vasistas tait ouvert sur les toiles
Et me revoil faisant la malle
Parmi les antennes de tl Ce pognon, je ne laurai pas vol
Trente mtres pl
(translation)
When I opened my eyes
Everything was dark in the room
I heard somewhere like a ringtone
I wanted to move...
Ae the pain in the right shoulder all of a sudden
Take my breath away
An awful fear invaded
And my body was covered in sweat
All my memory came back to me
The Heist, The Escape, The Buddies
Who get taken down...
I'm hurt, but I'm going and I have the money
I slipped my hand under the pillow
The briefcase full of banknotes
Was there, very wise… Two hundred bricks…
All in all it could go
My mind raced
Sre was my hideout at Suzy's
And soon we two have a good life
The palaces, the sun, the blue sea, all of life...
A radio began to spill
A piano tune break everything
I knew this stuff
It was the Blue Rondo the Turk
Dave Brubeck was playing like crazy
As fast as me putting the ends up
Suddenly the phone rings
My heart jumped
I took the receiver
All!, it's Suzy, I called twice
- What's the matter?
"There's a cop bus around the corner."
I was speechless, I was screwed
"You have to go," she told me.
Don't go down, escape through the roofs
God damn God, god damn God
More cops, quick money
And then the service staircase
Four four
A fanlight was open on the stars
And find myself packing the trunk again
Among the antennas of tl This money, I won't steal it
Thirty meters pl
