Bienvenue parmi nous [English translation]

I died this morning

At quarter to seven

Dying, it's no big deal

It's what comes after that's bizarre

At the exact moment

When I realized how

To make the most of my life

My God, you take it back

There are angels all around

(Bienvenue parmi nous)

My wife will spend

Without discretion

My daughter will get together

With that idiot, Hubert

But we're not there

Right now it's raining

They're dressing me up

Covering me in flowers

See, there's Mr. Bagnoud

(Bienvenue parmi nous)

I'm there, in front of you

Not quite accustomed to this

To walking next to

Next my own shoes

But it's comforting

To see all the sadness

My tailor is happy

His outfit suits me well

My concierge is on his knees

(Bienvenue parmi nous)

What makes me angry

Is seeing my buddies

Who will take this opportunity

To drown their sorrow

I'll really miss them

In my new life

But I won't delay

Goodbye Pierre, yes

Farewell, I have places to be

(Bienvenue parmi nous)
