Lyrics of Hardcore - Odezenne

Hardcore (original)

On était fort
J’avais tort
On était barré
Hardcore
On était carré
J’allais clore
On est décalé
Hardcore
Il y a des choses que j’comprends pas
Pourquoi les roses ne parlent pas?
Dans ton jardin secret pourtant
J’ai vu des fleurs causer au vent
Il y a des choses qui n’se disent pas
M’a dit le temps dans sa prison
Quelqu’un de bon, ça n’se voit pas
Y a rien d’honnête, y a qu’des raisons
J’aimerais donner de l’amour
À tous les vauriens de ma tour
Vivre sa vie, c’est un présent
Tu peux toujours montrer les dents
J’ai pas trouvé dans l’paysage
De quoi éclairer ton visage
Bon dieu, ça fait du bruit l’silence
Mon dieu, ça prend d’la place l’absence
On était fort
J’avais tort
On était barré
Hardcore
On était carré
J’allais clore
On est décalé
Hardcore
Chacun poursuit ses propres pas
Qu’importe la fin, qu’importe l’appât
J’ai des bouquets de sentiments
Mais le fleuriste m’a dit «va-t'en»
Qui portera de la lumière
Pour rendre les grands enfants heureux?
Personne n’a trouvé la manière
Pour se noyer dans le ciel bleu
On était carré
J’allais clore
On est décalé
Hardcore
On était fort
J’avais tort
On était barré
Hardcore
On était carré
J’allais clore
On est décalé
Hardcore

(translation)

We were strong
I was wrong
We were barred
Hardcore
We were square
I was going to close
We're off
Hardcore
There are things I don't understand
Why don't roses talk?
In your secret garden though
I saw flowers chatting in the wind
There are things that are not said
Told me the time in his prison
Someone good, you can't see it
There's nothing honest, only reasons
I would like to give love
To all the rascals in my tower
Living life is a present
You can always show your teeth
I did not find in the landscape
Something to light up your face
Good god, it makes noise the silence
My god, absence takes up space
We were strong
I was wrong
We were barred
Hardcore
We were square
I was going to close
We're off
Hardcore
Everyone goes their own way
No matter the end, no matter the bait
I have bouquets of feelings
But the florist told me "go away"
Who will bring light
To make the big kids happy?
Nobody found the way
To drown in the blue sky
We were square
I was going to close
We're off
Hardcore
We were strong
I was wrong
We were barred
Hardcore
We were square
I was going to close
We're off
Hardcore
