Holidays [English translation]

Holidays, oh, holidays

It's the plane descending from the sky

And, in the shadow of its wing,

A city passes by

The ground is so close

Holidays

Holidays, oh, holidays

Churches and social housing

What does he do, this God they love?

He lives in space

The ground is so close

Holidays, oh, holidays

From the plane, the shadow takes to the sea

The sea, as a prelude

To the desert

The sea is so low

Holidays

Holidays, oh, holidays

So much sky and so many clouds

At your age, you don't know

That life can wear you out,

That death is so vile

Holidays

Holidays, oh, holidays

It's the plane living in the sky

But don't forget, beautiful girl,

That planes do break

And that the ground is so close

Holidays
