Passer ma vie [English translation]

Spend my life on roads, nomad, such a vagabond

Spend my life drop by drop, taste everything that's good

Spend my life telling stories, singing songs

Flee this world that's an illusion, this world that lectured me

Me, "useless poet, lazy, unproductive, and cowardly"

Me the cicadia that sings in summer when ants kill the task

Spend my life shouting from rooftops that man was not made for that

Spend my life close to you, because without you I don't know

They built blasé persons' world

Who thinks that everything everything's easy

Who thinks that nothing more can change

Our dreams, our lives, our hopes crushed

Enchained in their doggish thought

Enslaved in their reality

Spend my life trying to persuade myself that one day maybe

Things will change. Spend my life wanted to doing it

Spend my life accepting that I can't change

Spend my life, wanting to change everything that I can't accept

Spend my life looking you straight in the eye

Spend my life wishing that for both of us it will be a lifetime

Spend my life okay, wanting to live in happiness

When even this world we flood with their refusals, horrors

A stranger, that's all that I am

On Earth, I have no home

Your house is to small

Too cramped in your paradise

My heart and my soul escape

Fly dreaming of another life

Spend my life forgetting that days become nights

Who will tell me that my time is done, that I can no longer . . .

Spend my life right next to you, to tell me that you're so beautiful

Spend my nights under this roof, where our dreams curl up in the shovel

Spend my life shouting about injustices and lies

Spend my life to go mad, paranoid, strange

Spend my life indignant for everything and anything

Spend my life rambling through the same thoughts a thousand times

Spend my life, to watch it go

This proud world, futile, furious

Crazy caravan of fools

Spend my life: thinking, spending

This life that I'd like to be happy

When it'll be spent
