| Reniflés par un chien
| Sniffed by a dog
|
| Les poches retournées
| Turned pockets
|
| On nous dévisageait
| We were stared at
|
| A la douane on cherchait
| At customs we were looking for
|
| A ne oas avoir l’air
| To not seem
|
| Ni fier ni trop aimable
| Neither proud nor too kind
|
| L’air de ce qu’on était
| The look of what we used to be
|
| Comme nous, stationnait le ciel
| Like us, stationed the sky
|
| On attendait quelque chose, un orage
| We were waiting for something, a storm
|
| Et chcun repensait
| And everyone was thinking
|
| A ceux qui l’attendait
| To those who waited
|
| Aux promesses de retour
| To promises of return
|
| Que tous on avait fait
| That we all did
|
| Tandis qu’on nous jaugeait
| As we were gauged
|
| Qu’on nous regardait bien
| That we were looked at well
|
| On se concentrait pour
| We focused on
|
| Ne ressembler à rien
| look like nothing
|
| De fro, tières en frontières
| From fro, third to borders
|
| Et de Douanes en douanes
| And from Customs to Customs
|
| Certains ont tout passé déjà
| Some have already passed everything
|
| Ils ont fait le grand tour
| They've come around
|
| Sans s’en être aperçu
| Without realizing it
|
| Repassant dans des villes
| Passing through towns
|
| Qui ont changé de nom
| Who have changed their name
|
| Qu’ils n’ont pas reconnues
| That they didn't recognize
|
| Surveillés par un chien
| Guarded by a dog
|
| Les poches retournées
| Turned pockets
|
| Presque méconnaissables
| almost unrecognizable
|
| Tant nos visages
| Both our faces
|
| A force d'être dévisagés
| By dint of being stared
|
| Ne savent plus se reprendre
| Can't pick themselves up anymore
|
| Tant nos cartes
| Both our cards
|
| A force d'être manipulées
| From being manipulated
|
| Tendent à s'éffacer
| Tend to fade away
