On fait semblant [English translation]

Hurry, on the count of 3 I hide, on 4 you find me, on 5 I fade away.

So many people could not face reality and bear a heavy grin.

I'm always living the same movie, what is the point?1

Without male or female heroes, drop the mask, drop the mask, drop the mask

Getting up every morning, doing it all over again

Suddenly I feel like giving up on all this,

I'm driving myself crazy, ploughing on

among people, but I'm just pretending.

We have to test ourselves so much,

but what kind of excuses are we to make up.

Above all, make no sound, make no move.

We just pretend, yeah, we just pretend.

Convicted with no recourse,

to each his time, to each his turn.

So does the rabble spread

and our little good-for-nothing die little by little.

I always have the same dream

that comes to an end at dawn.

When will I get a respite, a truce, drop the mask, drop the mask, drop the mask.

Getting up every morning, doing it all over again

Suddenly I feel like giving up on all this,

I'm driving myself crazy, ploughing on

among people, but I'm just pretending.

We have to test ourselves so much,

but what kind of excuses are we to make up.

Above all, make no sound, make no move.

We just pretend, yeah, we just pretend.

When I hurt, me, I just pretend.

I hide my tears and I just pretend

Among this crowd I just preternd

I just pretend, yeah, I just pretend.

We have to test ourselves so much,

but what kind of excuses are we to make up.

Above all, make no sound, make no move.

We just pretend, yeah, we just pretend.
