De ceux [English translation]

We're from those who aren't noticed

Ghosts / transparent people / tools

We're from those who aren't taken into account

We're from those who are chosen by default

We're from those who've got a pale skin / a drawn face and a lifeless gaze

Pale-faced / grey-complexioned

We're from those who're fading away from day to day

We're from those who're trouble hearing themselves think

We're from those who hardly control themselves

We're from those who make ill-at-ease in public

We're from those who skid in library stairs

We're from those who dance in an awkward way

We're from those who make love in twice

We're from those who do the wrong way with others

We're from those on whom nobody ever bets

We're from those who can no more reason logically

We're from those who've got everything perfect

But who don't succeed

Modern failures / half defeats / victories with no panache

We're from those who can't stand stress

We're from those who fail over and over again

We're from those who're helped / burdens / limping people / weak ones

We're from those who take things to hold on

We're from those who don't know how to say no / who don't know rebellion

Who don't withstand gazes

We're from those who're exhausted

And yet

We're from those who don't give up / rabid dogs / tenacious people

We're from those who intend to / get able to stand everything

We're from those who plan strategies in the dark / in order to get back on the top,

Play according their own rules and force fate

We're from those who're fed up with their own savagery

Worn out tiger sharks / louts begging for pardon / repentant-apprentices

We're from those who want at any price to beat their part of shadow

And make silent their nasty flaws

We're from those who try to join ranks

Lions / maquisards1 / resistance fighter of feelings

We're from those who roll for themselves and their perimeter

We're from those who still piss in the shower

But who hope one day to succeed in pissing straight

We're from those who try to disarm death

With tear-gas bombs

To frighten it and keep it away

We're from those who hope one night to find life / at the bend of an avenue

To charm it / bring it / and make it love in a burning way

We're from those who've got eyes wide all time

Stunned / astounded / who watch for comets / planets and epiphanies

We're from those who try to dig up what's buried

All that's hidden / and that asks for getting out

We're from those who want to restore contact with those that have gone too early

Because they didn't there was a hidden end

We're from those who will keep running / as if they were pursued by bullets

Who will never loosen their jaw / except for baring their teeth

1. /makizaʀ/ French rural groups of resistance fighters during the WWII. Their names comes from the fact that they used to hide in the scrub land (maquis).
