L'Indifférence [English translation]

Dirty tricks, cowardly acts

What do they matter?

Let me tell you, Let me tell you,

Then tell you again, something you already know

What really destroys the world is:

Indifference

It has ruptured, and corrupted

Even childhood

A man walks

A man walks, falls, dies in the street

Oh well, nobody saw it happen

Indifference

(Refrain)

Indifference

It kills you, with tiny blows

Indifference

You’re the lamb, it’s the wolf

Indifference

A little bit of hate, a little bit of love,

But at least something

Indifference

In your own home you’re just a stranger

Indifference

Your children don’t talk to you any more

Indifference

Your old people don’t even listen any more

When you talk to them

You love each other, and you have

A bed that dances

But it’s stalking you

It’s stalking you, and playing cat and mouse with you

My day will come, it says to itself

Indifference

Ref.

Indifference

Your wife cheats on you and you don’t give a f***

Indifference

It has its children in the mud

Indifference

There’s no more hate, there’s no more love

There’s nothing much at all

Indifference

Before we all die of it

Of indifference

I’d like to see it crucified

Indifference

How fine it would to see it torn apart

Indifference
