| Is there in our time anything more odious
|
| More hopeless than not believing in God?
|
| I would like to have the faith, the faith of my charcoal burner
|
| Who's happy like a pope and stupid like a basket
|
| My upstairs neighbor: a certain Blaise Pascal
|
| Gave me kindly, this friendly advice
|
| Get on your knees, pray and implore
|
| Pretend to believe and soon you'll believe me
|
| I started to debit the kneecaps on the ground
|
| All the Ave Marias and all the austere fathers
|
| In the streets, cafes, trains, buses
|
| All the De Profundis, all the morpionibus
|
| In the meantime, being in the nettles
|
| A cassock at my waist and I disguised it
|
| And tonsured fresh, my guitar in hand
|
| Towards the saving faith, I set out
|
| I fell on a bushel of bugs from the sacristy
|
| Taking me for another, in unison
|
| They said to me "father, sing us some sacred refrains
|
| Some healthy songs of which you have the secret "Strumming with fervor, the strings under my fingers
|
| I was singing The Gorilla with Fucking You
|
| Shouting to the impostor, to the traitors to the paupers
|
| They want to make me suffer the torture of Abelard
|
| I'm going to swell the ranks of the mute of the Seraglio
|
| The beauties will no longer come to hang on my chest
|
| With my cut voice, I'll have the place of choice
|
| Among the little singers at the wooden cross
|
| Lured by noise, a lady of charity
|
| Tell them “what are you doing? |
| Unhappy stop "There are so many men today who have a perverse inclination
|
| To stubbornly take Cupid upside down
|
| So many men stripped of their manly charms
|
| To those who still have them, let's not take them away
|
| These sledgehammer arguments made a big impression
|
| They let me go with standing ovations
|
| But on the way to heaven, I won't take another step
|
| Faith will come by itself or it won't come
|
| I never killed, never raped either
|
| It's been a while since I've been flying
|
| And if the Eternal exists, in the end he sees
|
| That I don't behave much worse than if I had faith
|
| If the Eternal exists, ultimately he sees
|
| That I don't behave much worse than if we had faith |
