Lyrics of La grande illusion - Trust

La grande illusion (original)

Je marchais, j’avanais, je tranais ma dgaine
J’avanais sans savoir, sans ide de pouvoir
Tu marchais, t’avanais, t’avanais en sachant que t’tais le pouvoir
Et si demain je devenais un hros mais sans fard
Et si demain je devenais superstar
Si demain tu devenais un hros mais sans fard tu deviendrais superstar
Je passerais en revue tous ces moments gchs
J’y penserais sans honte sans vouloir essuyer
Tu passeras en revue tous ces moments gchs sans vouloir essuyer
Car vous savez avec certitude ce qu’est la solitude
Trop fier de cette image jaunie qui vous poursuit
Et qui me laisse un peu perdu qu’tes-vous devenu?
Et si demain je devenais un symbole, pas sexuel
Et si demain je devenais Untel
Si demain tu devenais un symbole pas sexuel, tu deviendrais Untel
Sans rendre compte, sans trouver d’excuses
Sans gamberger sans travelling, sans me pmer
Pas de compte, pas d’excuse, ni gamberge, ni travelling, sans te pmer
Je grandirais loin des nains qu’ils resteraient
Et si demain je devenais quelqu’un que j’tais
Et si demain je devenais quelqu’un que j’tais
Car vous savez avec certitude ce qu’est la solitude
Trop fier de cette image jaunie qui vous poursuit
Et qui me laisse un peu perdu qu’tes-vous devenu?
Je rirais de leur vie comme ils riaient de la mienne
Quand j’tais leur pantin Crsus du soir au matin
Quand je nageais dans la dope par ennui, par envie
Quand j’avais les plus belles, pas de place pour les laides
Je tournais dans le vide en tendant les bras
Eux taient l, souriants, courbs devant moi
Car je sais avec certitude ce qu’est la solitude
Trop fier de cette image jaunie qui me poursuit
Et qui me laisse un peu perdu que suis-je devenu

(translation)

I was walking, I was advancing, I was dragging my sheath
I walked without knowing, without a sense of power
You walked, walked, walked knowing you were the power
What if tomorrow I became a hero but without makeup
What if tomorrow I became a superstar
If tomorrow you became a hero but you would become a superstar
I'll go over all those messed up moments
I would think about it without shame without wanting to wipe
You'll go through all those messed up moments without wanting to wipe away
'Cause you know for sure what loneliness is
Too proud of this yellowed image that haunts you
And that leaves me a little lost what have you become?
What if tomorrow I become a symbol, not sexual
What if tomorrow I became so-and-so
If tomorrow you became a non-sex symbol, you would become So-and-so
Without realizing, without finding excuses
Without wandering, without travelling, without pmer
No account, no excuses, no gamberge, no tracking, no hassle
I would grow away from the dwarves they would remain
What if tomorrow I became someone I was
What if tomorrow I became someone I was
'Cause you know for sure what loneliness is
Too proud of this yellowed image that haunts you
And that leaves me a little lost what have you become?
I would laugh at their life like they laughed at mine
When I was their puppet Crsus from evening to morning
When I was swimming in dope out of boredom, envy
When I had the prettiest, no room for the ugly
I spun around stretching out my arms
They were there, smiling, bent in front of me
'Cause I know for sure what loneliness is
Too proud of this yellowed image that haunts me
And that leaves me a little lost what have I become
