Changer l'eau des fleurs [English translation]

The people of the night know the day

better than those who get up too early.

The people of the night know love

better than the map of the tube.

I need to spin

under the disco balls

and forget everything.

To breathe and forget

that I left you my crumbs

and that's pretty much it.

One needs to change the water of the flowers,

change the water of the flowers

if one doesn't want them to wither.

One needs to change the water of the flowers,

change the water of the flowers

if one doesn't want them to wither.

Time passes by

and it's an assassin, you know it well.

Time swims by.

It's like a great shark, a great brown shark.

The people of the night know the day

better than those who fall asleep at work.

The people of the night have an opinion on everything,

they talk, they talk too much.

I need to spin

under the gaudy lasers

and forget everything.

To breathe and forget

that I left you a void

and that's pretty much it.

One needs to change the water of the flowers,

change the water of the flowers

if one doesn't want them to wither.

One needs to change the water of the flowers,

change the water of the flowers

if one doesn't want them to wither.

There's no drama, dam,

there are no coward weak points,

nothing's being plotted, nothing original.

There's no drama, you know

I'm not a smart-arse.

You're playing hide and seek.

You don't love me well.

One needs to change the water of the flowers,

change the water of the flowers

if one doesn't want them to wither.

One needs to change the water of the flowers,

change the water of the flowers

if one doesn't want them to wither.

Time passes by

and it's an assassin, you know it well.

Time swims by.

It's like a great shark, a great brown shark.
