La Promenade De San [English translation]

I walk backwards. . .

On a disjointed carpet (la la)

My legs, balls of lead. . .

Proceed to the disappontment (la la)

I have lost the girl from the story. . .

Since I lost your reason.

So, I proceed along the pavement. . .

A streetlamp, the sewer of the city, the horizon.

If you come across me at a street corner. . .

Wait! Wait!

If you knew how I've run.

All the time. . .

If you come across me at a street corner. . .

Wait, wait. . .

If you come across me at a street corner. . .

I get even more enraged, it's not normal!

All the evil that's been conceived. . .

It's banal, it's deja vu

(It's not enough to kill a horse)

I don't want any more of it! (la, la)

I've lost the memory. . .

From before the dark, the great depth.

All my past is ridiculous, taken away from you, turning in circles.

If you come across me at a street corner. . .

Wait! Wait!

If you knew how I've run.

All the time. . .

(If you come across me)

If you come across me at a street corner. . .

Wait, wait. . .

(If you come across me)

I fucked up, infinitely. . .

All my beautiful, impromptu dreams,

In marshaling yards*.

If you come across me there.

If you come across me at a street corner. . .

Wait! Wait!

If you knew how I've run.

All the time. . .

If you come across me at a street corner. . .

I will hope that that it will be the end. . .of the film.

(Wait. . .wait)

And that we are left alone for good.

(If you knew how I've run)

Embraced in delights. . .(all the time)

Traitor!

(If you come across me at a street corner. . .)

Recover a mobile.

(Wait. . .)

Just long enough for a season

(Wait)

A day, an hour, a life.

Light and colourful. . .

As a candy package.
