À l'envers à l'endroit [English translation]

We're not back from Mysteryland yet

That is, we came in there without having seen any light

There is the water, the fire, the computer, Vivendi, and the earth

We certainly must be able to blossom and to brush everything off

We can still greet the cheap little kings

We can still hope to be one day part of the family

Sure, you'll be able to become yourself a stock exchange ace*

We could even consider that everything might blow up in our faces

Around the olive trees pulsate the origins

To find ourselves endlessly being had

Upside down, right way up, upside down, right way up

Upside down, right way up, upside down, right way up

Is there a fire expected tonight in the parliament

Looks like it's time to envisage another cycle

We can entertain ideals without straying from the people

We can still dream about leaving but without actually moving from here

Apparently the white dove is in a really sorry state

Apperently we must get used to swallowless springs

Sleeping Beauty broke off the negociations

The begins to protest unilaterally

Do we have to curve ourselves again and again for a straight line ?

Plea to find open spaces within the walls of a box

Is that an estuary or the end of the road we catch a glimpse of

Hands up for the puddle we swim in, we drown in

Around the almond trees bloom the worlds soflty

They shall not ingloriously compromise**

Upside down, right way up, upside down, right way up

Upside down, right way up, upside down, right way up
