Des Hauts, Des Bas(original) |
La pluie venait du nord |
Le vent passait sous ma porte |
Je comptais vivre fort |
Et que le diable m’emporte |
J’allais à la fenêtre |
Enroule dans le drap |
Je secouais la tête |
Et j’en ecartais les bras |
J’avais des hauts |
J’avais des bas |
J’avais plus ou moins chaud |
(Et) toute la vie devant moi |
J’avais des hauts |
J’avais des bas |
Je croyais que j’en voulais trop |
J’ai même eu ce que je ne voulais pas |
Je restais enferme |
Ou errais pendant des jours |
Trop de chemins s’ouvraient |
Trop de questions en retour |
Je n’avais pas tue mon père |
Mais je ne me souvenais pas |
Ce qu’il me disait de faire |
Ce qu’il ne me disait pas |
J’avais des hauts |
J’avais des bas |
J’avais plus ou moins chaud |
(Et) toute la vie devant moi |
J’avais des hauts |
J’avais des bas |
Je croyais que j’en voulais trop |
J’ai même eu ce que je ne voulais pas |
Chaque jour je me tenais prêt |
Je guettais l’heure et la page |
Où les eaux s’ouvriraient |
Me laisseraient un passage |
L’espoir me faisait vivre |
L’attente me rendait nerveux |
Je trouvais dans les livres |
De quoi patienter un peu |
J’avais des hauts |
J’avais des bas… |
(translation) |
The rain was coming from the north |
The wind passed under my door |
I intended to live strong |
And the devil take me |
I was going to the window |
Wrapped in the sheet |
I was shaking my head |
And I spread my arms |
I had tops |
I had stockings |
I was more or less hot |
(And) my whole life ahead of me |
I had tops |
I had stockings |
I thought I wanted too much |
I even got what I didn't want |
I stayed locked up |
Or wandered for days |
Too many paths opened |
Too many questions back |
I did not kill my father |
But I didn't remember |
What he told me to do |
What he didn't tell me |
I had tops |
I had stockings |
I was more or less hot |
(And) my whole life ahead of me |
I had tops |
I had stockings |
I thought I wanted too much |
I even got what I didn't want |
Every day I stood ready |
I was watching the hour and the page |
Where the waters would open |
Would let me pass |
Hope kept me alive |
The wait made me nervous |
I found in the books |
What to wait a little |
I had tops |
I had stockings... |
