La haine

(original)
Comme un marin, je partirai
Pour aller rire chez les filles
Et si jamais tu en pleurais
Moi, j’en aurais l'âme ravie
Comme un novice, je partirai
Pour aller prier le bon Dieu
Et si jamais tu en souffrais
Moi, je n’en prierais que mieux
Tu n’as commis d’autre péché
Que de distiller chaque jour
L’ennui et la banalité
Quand d’autres distillent l’amour
Et mille jours pour une nuit
Voilà ce que tu m’as donné
Tu as peint notre amour en gris
Terminé notre éternité
Comme un ivrogne, je partirai
Pour aller gueuler ma chanson
Et si jamais tu l’entendais
J’en remercierais le Démon
Comme un soldat, je partirai
Mourir comme meurent les enfants
Et si jamais tu en mourais
J’en voudrais revenir vivant
Et toi tu pries, et toi tu pleures
Au long des jours, au long des ans
C’est comme si, avec des fleurs
On ressoudait deux continents
L’amour est mort, vive la haine
Et toi, matériel déclassé
Va-t-en donc accrocher
Ta peine au musée des amours ratées
Comme un ivrogne je partirai
Pour aller gueuler ma chanson
Et si jamais tu l’entendais
J’en remercierais le Démon
(translation)
Like a sailor I will go
To go laugh at the girls
What if you ever cry
Me, I would have a happy soul
Like a novice I will go
To go and pray to God
What if you ever suffered
Me, I would only pray better
You have committed no other sin
than to distill each day
Boredom and banality
When others distill love
And a thousand days for one night
This is what you gave me
You painted our love gray
Ended our eternity
Like a drunk I'll leave
To go scream my song
What if you ever hear it
I would thank the Devil
Like a soldier I will go
Die as children die
What if you ever die
I would like to come back alive
And you pray, and you cry
Through the days, through the years
It's as if, with flowers
We were joining two continents
Love is dead, long live hate
And you, decommissioned material
So go hang on
Your pain at the museum of failed loves
Like a drunk I will leave
To go scream my song
What if you ever hear it
I would thank the Devil
