Translation of the song lyrics Mais pourtant - Coralie Clement, Daniel Lorca

Mais pourtant (original)

Tu fais comme te dit ton père et sur les yeux, tu as des œillères
Tu dis souvent «tout baigne, tout baigne» mais pourtant…
Tu m’as mis dans des galères, sans même fournir la petite cuillère
Tu dis souvent «tout roule, tout roule» mais pourtant…
Un soir, tu t’endors, au matin, quand tu ouvres les yeux
Autour de toi, il n’y a rien que ce vide qui te ressemble un peu
Tu pensais avoir conquis les affaires, les amours, la vie
Tu dis souvent «je touche du bois» mais pourtant…
Tu voulais une paire d’enfants pour mieux t’en plaindre sur le divan
Tu dis souvent «je croise les doigts» mais pourtant…
Un soir, tu t’endors, au matin, quand tu ouvres les yeux
Autour de toi, il n’y a rien que ce vide qui te ressemble un peu
Mais pourtant… Pourtant, pourtant

Mais pourtant (translation)

You do as your father tells you and on your eyes you have blinkers
You often say "everything goes, everything goes" but yet...
You got me in trouble, didn't even provide the teaspoon
You often say "everything is rolling, everything is rolling" but yet...
One night you fall asleep, in the morning when you open your eyes
Around you, there's nothing but this emptiness that looks a bit like you
You thought you had conquered business, love, life
You often say "knock on wood" but yet...
You wanted a pair of kids so you better complain on the couch
You often say "fingers crossed" but yet...
One night you fall asleep, in the morning when you open your eyes
Around you, there's nothing but this emptiness that looks a bit like you
But yet... Yet, yet
