Dans un grand sac,j'ai pris ma dernière audace.
Aux 3 bandes en pointiller
je dépasse.
Je vois passer des voitures,
De drôles de gens,
sur de drôles de montures.
Je regarde passer les gyrophares,
je regarde passer les gyrophares.
Plus j'avance et
moins je dépense.
Sans gain, ni la moindre
Dépendance
Sans la moindre dépendance.
Je m'implique,
je m'agite, je vois rouge
et là, et là je sais, que tout m'excite.
Je regarde passer les gyrophares,
je regarde passer les gyrophares.
Sans fin…Sans fin.
J’efface les pistes et les strass,
J’embrasse Véronique pour
Une ultime passe.

English translation :

ENDLESS (FLASHING LIGHTS)

In a big bag,
I found the last of my audacity.
3 dotted lanes
I overtake.
I see cars passing,
Strange people,
in strange vehicles.
I watch the flashing lights,
I watch the flashing lights.
The more I go on

the less I spend.
No profit or the slightest
Addiction
Without the least dependence.
I get involved,
I'm agitated, I see red
and there, and there I know, everything excites me.
I watch the flashing lights,
I watch the flashing lights.
Endless ... Endless.
I wipe out my tracks and strass,
I kiss Véronique for
A last pass.

Michel, bavard et maladroit
Pas si fidèle que ça
Il aime faire la java

Michel, il a de drôles d’envies
Il conduit sans permis
Il aime faire des paris

Michel il ne fait pas semblant
Ses défauts émouvants
Et si Michel me ment

C’est beau
Quand il me dit des choses
Me compare à une rose
J’aime quand Michel il ose

Michel, dans ses yeux l’Italie
Les matinées au lit
Les couleurs de la vie

Michel il ne fait pas semblant
Ses défauts émouvants
Et quand Michel me ment
C’est beau
Quand il me dit des choses
Me compare à une rose
La vie est moins morose

Michel nous deux c’est du sérieux et si
Un jour on est vieux
Michel les couleurs seront là
Mon cœur, mon cœur s’emballera

Comme à chaque fois
Comme à chaque fois

English translation :

MICHEL (ex western)

Michel, talkative and clumsy
Not all that faithful
He likes to party

Michel, he has funny desires
He drives without a license
He likes to make bets

Michel, he doesn’t pretend
His touching faults
And if Michel is lying to me

It's beautiful
When he tells me things
Compares me to a rose
I like it when Michel dares

Michel, Italy in his eyes

Mornings in bed
The colors of life

Michel, he doesn’t pretend
His touching faults
And if Michel is lying to me
It's beautiful
When he tells me things
Compares me to a rose
Life is less morose

Michel, both of us it’s serious stuff and if
One day, we are old
Michel, the colors will be there
My heart, my heart will be full

Like every time
Like every time

lonely

defeat

Sans déconner, t’es sérieux là
? J’ai déjà entendu ça mille foisC’est pas que ça me flatte pas mais gamin va falloir t’accrocher pour m’impressionner
Tu veux te la jouer hôtel particulier et petites pépés
?
Tu sais pas dans quel guêpier tu t’es fourré
!
A tes risques et périls et huées ok vas-y on va bien s’marrer

Répète après moi
C’est pas sérieux

Tu t’prends pour Serge nom d’une vierge
Quand je suis mort t’étais pas né, si tu savais comme j’ai croqué des vertes et des pas mûres
Cramé des gitanes des tonnes qui sont plus sur le marché pour composer des mélodies elles étaient toutes à mes pieds. A quoi bon, à quoi bon t’y risquer, si ça part en sucette j’pourrai pas te tirer de là haut j’ai trop d’héritiers si tu veux finir comme un vulgaire copié-collé

Répète après moi c’est pas sérieux
ouais répète après moi c’est pas sérieux

Tu t’prends pour Serge nom d’une vierge
C’est pas que ça me flatte pas tu sais mais gamin va falloir t’accrocher il m’en faut plus que toi pour m’impressionner. Ah au fait, j’ai pas de conseils à te donner mais n’oublie pas de m’aimer

Répète après moi
Répète après moi
Répète après moi
C’est pas sérieux

IT'S NOT SERIOUS

No kidding, you can’t be serious?

I've heard that a thousand times

It's not that I ‘m not flattered but Sunny, you will have to try harder if you want to impress me

Do you want to play at “Hotel particulier” and “Petites Pépés” ?

You don’t know what a hornet’s you’ve got yourself into

At your own risk and jeers, ok, go ahead, we will have a good laugh
Repeat after me, It's not serious

You think you’re Serge, for God’s sake

When I died, you were not born,

If you knew how I fucked everything that moved

I smoked “gitanes” by the ton – they are no longer on the market-
To compose melodies for them, they were all at my feet.

What the point and taking risks
if it all falls apart, I can’t get you out of there

I have got too much progeny if you want to wind up like a cheap imitation

Repeat after me, It's not serious

yeah repeat after me it's not serious

You think you’re Serge, for God’s sake
It's not that I ‘m not flattered but Sunny, you will have to try harder if you want to impress me

Oh by the way, I have no advice to give you but don’t forget to love me

Repeat after me Repeat after me Repeat after me It's not serious

On a good foot , I was talking today,
to a man on a mission trying find his way
dapper looking chap with shiny eyes
this was is what I said , this was his reply

Together - together one love we move together
together
- forever - one love we stick together




he took out a boom box and fired it up,
every kid on the block trying turn it up.
he got down deeper than I seen a before

cold rocking the block like 1984

Together - together one love we move together
together
- forever - one love we stick together

with a smile so big lighting up the room

he dropped a break from the top of the temple of boom
everyone was on board , the crazy train
with the man on mission trying to explain

together overcome , together beat the drum.
forever overcome , together we are one

together people, together strong
forever people forever one

together people can do no wrong
together we are one

but what was he saying , what did he mean ,
you only live once in the yolo dream,
lts a hustle, a grind, a rat in the race
you can try your best and never win the race

He took off his coat and showed me his arm
written in ink ring the alarm
a message of hope a message of truth
sing it with me if you need the proof

Gotta keep on movingGotta find a way to get close to youHelp me keep on moving, gottastay on my feet if I wanna get close to youI’m not bad at moving, when I gotta,And I just don’t know what else to do
Gotta keep my head up, everyNow and then look up to the skyBeen so low I don’t recall what the
Leaves on the trees look likeI’m doing my best,But won’t you help me with the rest
Oh while I’m still breathing

But if I don’t show you know I’m so unsure
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stay

Hold myself still,StopAnd get myself to stayBut every time I tryYou just slip off to the sideAnd I keep moving
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stayYou gotta ask x2

Il y aura toujours un p'tit air de rengaineAu fond d'une cour, sur les bords de la SeineUn refrain qui conjugue l'amourEt puisLes amants de ParisIl y aura toujours une frêle guinguettePour danser à deux, pour s'aimer en cachetteUn hôtel à trois pas du faubourgOù l'on confond la nuit et le jour
Il est au fin fond d’une impasseUne maison où l'on s'enlaceA l'abri des sombres regardsDes bourgeois qui passent le soirIl n'y a même pas de terrasseMais chacun y trouve sa placeEt dans un coin l'accordéonOffre alors à chacun sa chanson

There will always beA little old songIn a courtyard, on the banks of the SeineA refrain which bindsAmour with the lovers of ParisThere will always beA creaky guingetteTo dance together, to love in secretAn hotel stone’s throw from the faubourgWhen night and day entwine
Down the end of an alleyA house where we entwineAway from the dark looksOf the bourgeoisie passing by in the eveningThere is not even a terraceBut everyone can find their placeAnd in a corner the accordionOffers each their song

Looking out canʼt you see

Itʼs only us

We donʼt need the things that others said were true

Take your time

Donʼt need to rush

Love of mine put your trust in me weʼll fade out to the blue

Follow me in to all

We could be

Letʼs just fall in to a place where we donʼt know

It could be everything

Weʼd ever need

Sink or swim weʼll never have to love alone

Looking out canʼt you see

Itʼs enough

We didnʼt need the things that others said were true
