Le récit [English translation]

They tell me that I have everything,

That I'm on the right continent

About you, they say that you dream of living

And only hope you'll have enough time to do so

I dream too, if only you knew,

I just don't know what about anymore (oh)

You call me 'Wealthy man', for if I have no desire left,

It's that my wishes are almost all fulfilled already

Everyone has his own story (oh, oh, oh)

Everyone has his own story (oh, oh, oh)

But we all have...

Our arms raised to the sky,

Each of us looking for a new life (oh, oh, oh)

We sing that life is beautiful,

Even though gods are few and far between (oh, oh, oh)

We no longer see the road, we no longer see the road

After staring at the sky for so long,

Each of us looking for a new tale (pull up)

You told me that if I kept on not dreaming,

I'd suffer from lack of sleep

That's a fact, my nights are so sleepless,

I do without the sun (eh, eh)

I'd gladly give you all the water on this earth

Against a little of your happiness (eh)

Give me a part of your gift,

And I'll send you bouquets of painkillers, painkillers...

Each of us looking for a new tale

(Each of us looking)

Each of us looking for a new tale

Whether we've got a reason to be poor (oh)

Or poor for no reason at all,

Each of us is looking for a new tale (oh, pull up)

Our arms raised to the sky,

Each of us looking for a new life (oh, oh, oh)

We sing that life is beautiful,

Even though gods are few and far between [x2]

We no longer see the road, we no longer see the road

After staring at the sky for so long,

All looking for a new tale

Each of us looking for a new tale [x3]
