Nicolas [English translation]

And the storm has passed

On the village still empty

The people arrived

It's the old dog that guides them

Somebody walks up to them

The house is pretty

We introduce ourselves a bit

Here is the child we leave to you

Say hello to the gentleman

He's got a thick hand

The woman adjusts her blue collar

How good we are here

But Nicolas, he doesn't want to be bothered

All that he's got in his head

Is that he wants to go back home

I don't want to stay here

And then it's the suitcase

That we open in the kitchen

The smell of cold broth

The black cat in the basin

The voices that rise up the wall

The bedroom is over there

Finally, it's the farewells

That go up your chest

[You] Have to be reasonable

We promised toasts

This night you'll sleep much better

In the middle of the big bed

But Nicolas, he doesn't want to be bothered

All that he's got in his head

Is that he wants to go back home

I don't want to stay here
