Faites entrer les clowns [English translation]

Should we laugh about it?

Sublime moment:

You, finally taking your flight

And me resting

Where are the clowns?

Can we believe it?

Look at us:

One frolicking far above the ground

The other at his knees

The clowns are missing

Where are the clowns?

All my demons

Finally tamed

Now sure that you yourself will end up telling the story

I enter the stage again dressed for the gala

Sure of my role:

You're not there

Nothing but a farce

A bit bitter

I thought my dream would be your dream

Pardon, dear

We'd need the clowns

But where are the clowns?

They're here, it's clear

Should we laugh about it?

I should!

Dying of stage fright so late in my career

And where are the clowns

When will the clowns arrive?

Dying of stage fright so late in my career

And where are the clowns

When will the clowns arrive?

Soon, I hope
