Le Chant des sirènes [English translation]

[Chorus]

I hear the sirens's songs

Look around me all those people who love me

I want to touch the sun before the rain comes

Don't worry, only the weak are eaten by the system

[Verse 1]

Torn, in a Parisian nightclub

For the fourth time this week, and that's not even the weekend

All my new friends are close to the star system

All my old friends suffer the crap of daily life

I dreamed of being pupular by playing with toy cars

Now the labels and the groupies want my signature

Yes I'm awesome, I'm the genius who wrote "Sale Pute"1

I didn't like adolescence: let me love my adult life

Kisses, hand grips, hypocritical smiles

Take back a bottle: the first two left too fast

Under champagne, nobody listens but people talk

Tell me who you know, I'll tell you if you're a creep

Far from the common man, so far

En route to success, I'm getting sucked into the train

I find the fullness literally: Full completely

On the other side of the small screen I leave my footprints ...

Among the major

[Chorus]

I hear the sirens's songs

Look around me all those people who love me

I want to touch the sun before the rain comes

Don't worry, only the weak are eaten by the system

[Verse 2]

My friends say that I change, I say that I evolve

This time I was lost in advance is gone

I take even bother to have an opinion

I copy and paste discussions, I create the illusion

I'm going to touch the horizon, with back of vodka-bison

But time passes, I stay up, and the sun changes position

A friend is waiting my terms in prison

While I'm in a society dinner, paying the bill

When I talk about my next album, my fans eyes light up

The problem is that I still haven't written a line

I have the singer of the moment in featuring

There's two years, I would have surely insulted her over a rhyme

Increasingly vultures turn me around, help

It starting to feel the end of sunny days

I don't have phoned to my sister's birthday

But I call my manager every three hours

My chick goes crazy, wants us to spend time both

But I am in Cap d'Agde, in the Devil's pussy

A last drink and I touch heaven

All my best, I'm traveling bags under eyes

[Chorus]

I hear the sirens's songs

Look around me all those people who love me

I want to touch the sun before the rain comes

Don't worry, only the weak are eaten by the system

[Verse 3]

Depressed in Caen bar, drained

I look at my phone dreaming he gets back to vibrate

Sometimes an old friend calls me, but that's not the same anymore

Sometimes my ex calls me: I should not have lose her

Sharks with whom I worked, the suckers who scratched me

Pushed me to spit a second disk failed

While I was drinking champagne to dehydrate me

I was living in the past, new artists have replaced me

My ex-fans disappointed search the Orelsan of the beginning

But even me I think I lost him

My banker warned me: "The taxes will fuck you down!"

When I thought I was going to get through?

Moving from the life of a mini-star to the asshole of the history

At Caen, I'm nothing more than a big fish in a small pond 2

Festival every win but there's a happy medium

Learn to turn the corner before entering a vicious circle

[Bridge]

Where sirens are passed?

Look around me all these people filled with hatred

After the intoxication comes the migraine

In the end I think I been eaten by the system

Where sirens are passed?

Look around me all these people filled with hatred

After the intoxication comes the migraine

In the end I think I been eaten by the system

[Chorus]

I hear the sirens's songs

Look around me all those people who love me

I want to touch the sun before the rain comes

Don't worry, only the weak are eaten by the system

I hear the sirens's songs

Look around me all those people who love me

I want to touch the sun before the rain comes

Don't worry, only the weak are eaten by the system
