California [English translation]

Airport, terminal

But leaving, more than anything,

It's the blues, the hit of depression

The certain check out

Come the night and strikes the hour

And I die

Between apathy and gravity

Where I remain

Change perspective,

Take the exit

And I travel to America

Sex appeal, it's Sunset

It's Marlboro (the Malboro man is an example of American Culture for foreigners) smiling at me

My love, my ego,

I know it exists

The warmth of letting go

Is like a symphony

it's Sexy California's Sky

Under my skin, I'm having an overdose of L.A.

So sexy the melancholy of a road movie

In my rear-view mirror, there's my life anamorphosing

I have no I.D. anymore, but the idea

Of getting to the freeway

It's osmosis, on the road

Asphalt under the feet

Come the night,

The jet lag is shifting me

L.A.P.D. is giving me an official warning

No big deal

Going on a trip,

To give a Strip (meaning baring yourself both mind and body)

Under the midday sun

Six a.m., I'm offset

I'm ice in water, (cold as ice)

I'm slushy (extra sentimental), tell me (sounds like "I'm melody")

My love, my Wesson (may refer to American Dan Wesson Firearms)

My fireworks

The heat of the gun

Is like a symphony

it's Sexy California's Sky

Under my skin, I'm having an overdose of L.A.

So sexy the melancholy of a road movie

In my rear-view mirror, there's my life anamorphosing
