1969 [English translation]

Ah well, wow

It's July 20th of '69

Yes, I'm out, yes, yes, I'm on the moon

I enter the store with an unbuttoned shirt

They say: "Please, take a seat, this way"

I have a thousand crumpled up pieces out of 100, but

They ask me what I do for a living

I'll buy back the house they took from us

Because you didn't have money, ah well

I come in to give you presents in that boutique

I'm living, ah well, I know it's identical to a movie

Ah well, take this expense, don't be offended

Who cares, I'm here tonight

I'll stay for dinner, don't make a scene

I'll stay tonight, then leave me alone

I'll stay tonight, tonight

Don't be offended, offended

I'll stay for dinner, don't make a scene

I'll stay tonight, then leave me alone

I'm on the moon, uh

I'm on the moon, oh yeah

Wow, I'm on the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto

Look, but

I have a mess in my head, standing with my feet on the scooter, baby, voilà1

Scold this kid, come back with double the amount from before, go Teknival2
