Je veux danser [English translation]
Je veux danser [English translation]
This is however the life
that I believed to love.
When I left at night
towards the heaven
where I forgot you.
I killed1 yesterday night
All my savings
paying for cigars
And a lot of drinks2
To all the barmen
I played the rich man3
Defying the bad luck
And from bar to bar
I wore out4 the hope
That one day you will come back
This is a story in the news
at dawn
Bars are open
Faubourg Saint-Germain5
And there on the street
I stumble a bit
No,nothing goes anymore
this is the rule of the game
the rule of the game
Oh!I want to dance
No more thinking
Oh!I want to dance
To change everything.
I burnt my life
your farewell letter
It is amazing how the oblivion
When we have betrayed each other
looks like fire
Goodbye our twenty years
The sky fell
It is amazing how the time
looks like the wind
when it is gone.
It is a story in the news
At dawn
Bars are open
Faubourg Saint-Martin6
And there on the street
I have a hangover
No,nothing goes anymore
This is the rule of the game
The rule of the game
Oh!I want to dance
Not to cry
Oh!I want to dance
to change everything.

This is a story in the news
at dawn
Bars are open
Faubourg Saint-Germain
I feel decayed
I have tears in my eyes
When we lost
this is what is left from the fire
the remainder of the fire
I want to dance
No more thinking
I want to dance
To change everything
I want to dance
Not to cry
Oh!I want to dance
To change everything
Oh!I want to dance...
