La Folie

(original)
Bonsoir
Ton vehicule n’a pas l’air d’avoir de passager
Peux-tu: Veux tu me recevoir
Sans trop te deranger?
Mes bottes ne feront pas trop d’echos dans ton couloir
Pas de bruit avec mes adieux
Pas pour nous les moments perdus
En attendant un uncertain au-revoir
Parce que-j'ai la folie, oui c’est la folie
Il etait une fois un etudiant
Qui voulait fort, comme en literature
Sa copine, elle etait si douce
Qu’il pouvait presque, en la mangeant
Rejeter tous les vices
Repousser tou les mals
Detruire toutes beautes
Qui par ailleurs, n’avait jamais ete ses complices
Parces qu’il avait la folie, oui, c’est la folie
Et si parfois l’on fait des confessions
A qui les raconter — meme le bon dieu nous a laisse tomber
Un autre endroit, une autre vie
Eh oui, c’est une autre histoire
Mais a qui tou raconter?
Chez les ombres de la nuit?
Au petit matin, au petit gris
Combien de crimes ont ete commis
Contre les mensonges et soi disant les lois du coeur
Combien sont la a cause de la folie
Parce qu’il ont la folie
(translation)
Good evening
Your vehicle doesn't seem to have a passenger
Can you: Will you receive me
Without bothering you too much?
My boots won't echo too much in your hallway
Quiet with my goodbyes
Not for us the lost moments
Waiting for an uncertain goodbye
'Cause I'm mad, yes it's mad
Once upon a time there was a student
Who wanted hard, like in literature
His girlfriend, she was so sweet
That he could almost, by eating it
Reject all vices
Repel all evils
Destroy all beauties
Who, moreover, had never been his accomplices
'Cause he was crazy, yeah, it's crazy
And if sometimes we make confessions
Who to tell it to — even the good god let us down
Another place, another life
Yeah, that's another story
But who do you tell?
Among the shadows of the night?
In the early morning, in the little gray
How many crimes have been committed
Against the lies and the so called laws of the heart
How many are the cause of madness
Because they have the madness
