| Y avait l’hiver, y avait le froid qui me tuait
| There was winter, there was cold that was killing me
|
| Mais là c’est pu important
| But that could be important
|
| Y avait le temps, y avait les âges qui défilaient
| There was time, there were ages passing by
|
| Mais là je m’en fous vraiment
| But I really don't care
|
| C’est un passage obligé
| It's a must
|
| Un long couloir à creuser
| A long corridor to dig
|
| Entre moi et moi-léger
| Between me and me-light
|
| C’est une chanson de lumière
| It's a song of light
|
| L'étape après la misère
| The step after misery
|
| L'émotion d’un courant d’air
| The emotion of a draft
|
| Y avait les filles, y avait le rock qui nous saoulait
| There were the girls, there was the rock that got us drunk
|
| Mais là c’est pu important
| But that could be important
|
| Y avait les routes, y avait les trous que l’on grugeait
| There were the roads, there were the holes that we dug
|
| Mais c’est de moins en moins pesant
| But it's getting less and less burdensome
|
| C’est un passage obligé
| It's a must
|
| Un long couloir à creuser
| A long corridor to dig
|
| Entre moi et moi-léger
| Between me and me-light
|
| C’est comme un nouveau printemps
| It's like a new spring
|
| Un plongeon dans l’océan
| A dip in the ocean
|
| C’est comme le vin dans le sang
| It's like wine in the blood
|
| Y avait la guerre, y avait les droits qui nous mentaient
| There was war, there were rights lying to us
|
| Mais là c’est moins prenant
| But there it is less addictive
|
| Y avait le ciel, y avait les dieux qui me hantaient
| There was the sky, there were the gods that haunted me
|
| Mais là je m’en fous vraiment
| But I really don't care
|
| C’est une chanson de lumière
| It's a song of light
|
| L'étape après la misère
| The step after misery
|
| L'émotion d’un courant d’air | The emotion of a draft |
