Un homme simple [English translation]

I dreamed on so many paths

I had to walk so far... so far

On the search for someone

Who would reach out to me

Sometimes I talked about myself

About false, divine ingenuities

And I forgot in their arms

That we guess nothing we already knew

Why ... tomorrow ... we will leave

I'm a simple man

A face, an imprint

Who one day will disappear

I'm a simple man

A smile, a hug

That life takes in its arms

I don't do miracles

I'm neither god nor a scoundrel

And I play like I'm at the theater

A play where I would know the ending

I do ... my best ... to play it well

I'm a simple man

A face, an imprint

Who one day will disappear

I'm a simple man

A smile, a hug

That life takes in its arms

I dreamed on so many paths

I had to walk so far... so far

I'm only living my life

Love me for what I am

I'm a simple man

A face, an imprint

Who one day will disappear

I'm a simple man

A smile, a hug

That life takes in its arms

I'm a simple man

A face, an imprint

Who one day will disappear
