Translation of the song lyrics Scarabée - Vanessa Paradis

Scarabée (original)

Sur le radeau, t’es seul
T’es beau, tu rames au fil de l’eau
A quatre, la vie est plus belle
L’amour, l’amitie, c’est tout pareil
On t’aimait, Scarabee, on t’aimait
Au fil de l’eau
On croit que la vie est eternelle
On meurt parfois
De chanter seul
A quatre, a quatre, les murs font prison
Ca fait rien
Il fait beau
Au fil du temps
T’es seul, t’es grand
Et tu souris aux gens…
Du ciel la vie est plus belle
L’amour, l’amitie, c’est tout pareil
On t’aimait, Scarabee, on t’aimait
Dans le soleil
Tu sais que la vie est eternelle
Y a plus de combat
On n’est plus seul
Au ciel, on n’est plus seul
Ca fait rien, il fait beau
Tout seul sur le terre
Chante un scarabee assassine
Tout seul, il chante comme il chantait
Tout seul sur la terre
Chante un scarabee qu’on a tue
Tout seul, il chante comme il chantait
On t’aimait John-SCARABE, on t’aime

(translation)

On the raft, you're alone
You're beautiful, you're rowing over the water
At four, life is better
Love, friendship, it's all the same
We loved you, Scarabee, we loved you
Along the water
We believe that life is eternal
Sometimes we die
To sing alone
At four, at four, the walls are prison
It doesn't matter
The weather's nice
Over time
You are alone, you are great
And you smile at people...
From heaven life is more beautiful
Love, friendship, it's all the same
We loved you, Scarabee, we loved you
In the sun
You know life is forever
There's no more fighting
We are no longer alone
In heaven, we are no longer alone
It doesn't matter, the weather is nice
All alone on earth
Sing a murder beetle
All alone he sings like he used to sing
All alone on earth
Sing a beetle that has been killed
All alone he sings like he used to sing
We loved you John-SCARABE, we love you
