Translation of the song lyrics La folie d'un ange - Florent Pagny

La folie d'un ange (original)

Il parle seul envers et contre tous
il parle seul et sa voix est si douce
On l’isole mais il n’a rien fait
On l’isole alors il se tait
Il parle tout seul mais il ne l’est jamais
Les autres s’invitent souvent dans son reflet
On lui colle toutes les solitudes
On l’isole et qu’est-ce que § a change
Qu’est-ce que § a change la folie d’un ange
Et qu’est-ce que § a change
J’ai sans arrЄt cette image dans la tЄte
D’un homme qui s’envole et que l’on arrЄte
Mais qu’est-ce que § a change la folie d’un ange
Et qui § a d (c)range
Il a l’air si calme et si bien dans son monde
O№ les m (c)lodies et les cris se confondent
On l’isole on ne sait jamais
On l’isole et qu’est-ce que § a change
La folie d’un ange
Qu’est ce que § a change
J’ai ans arrЄt des coups l’int (c)rieur
Quand on me dit que je suis un rЄveur
La seule diff (c)rence entre lui et moi
c’est que dans son silence il y a des voix
Et qu’est-ce que § a change la folie d’un ange
Et qui § a d (c)range
Qui § a d (c)range
pourquoi § a d (c)range

(translation)

He speaks alone against all odds
he speaks alone and his voice is so sweet
We isolate him but he did nothing
We isolate him so he shuts up
He talks to himself but he never is
Others often invite themselves into his reflection
We stick all the loneliness on him
We isolate it and what does it change
What changes the madness of an angel
And what has changed
I have this image in my head all the time
Of a man who flies away and is arrested
But what difference does an angel's madness matter
And who § has d (c) range
He looks so calm and so good in his world
Where the m(c)lodies and the cries merge
We isolate it you never know
We isolate it and what does it change
Madness of an Angel
What has changed
I'm years off from blows inside (c) laughing
When I'm told I'm a dreamer
The only diff(c)rence between him and me
is that in his silence there are voices
And what changes the madness of an angel
And who § has d (c) range
Who § a d (c)range
why § a d (c)range
