Arrêter la clope [English translation]

It ain't so easy to quit

This goddamn over-the-counter drug

You need a serious will

A terrific determination

Each time I stop it's not serious

The twelve smokers I'm going to pinch

Offer me twelve cigs and even some fire

They really have no willpower

Sixty cigarettes in the face

Each day and this for forty years

Standing next to the color of my lungs

A Basque béret would look white

And I'm not telling you about the cash

That I lost to those fuckers

Those street corner dealers

With their carots to make me walk

To quit the smokes,

Before they stop my life

Too beautiful with you and my buddies

Too pretty

When I see kids around twelve-thirteen years old

Who already smoke like sailors

I imagine them being twenty-five

Struggling to quit

I judge heroic and admirable

Those who never needed that shit

Who rejecter the devil's smoke

Wich stinks like an old puke

Criminal state, trafficker

Getting rich over my cancer

And who's begging me at the same time

To give my dime to Schwartzenberg

American super-trusts

Turning the planet toxico

Then who teach you it's not nice

You shouldn't smoke in the bistros

To quit the smokes,

Before they stop my life

Too beautiful with you and my buddies

Too pretty

And then, mostly, I don't wanna die

Especially not from something so dumb

Not leave you alone and thinking

That after thirty years of a deep mourning

You could look at an other guy

Maybe even a cigar smoker

And why not be his mate

Eternity would become a nightmare

To each his motivation

Me it's just by jealousy

That I want to break free of this poison

That is also a fucking pleasure

I don't mind crossing to the other side

As long as you die with me

I have an idea to make it happen

Don't you want to try tobacco again ?

To quit the smokes,

Before she robs me of you

I could almost make it without my buddies

But not without you

I could almost make it without my smokes

But not without you

But not without you

But not without you
