L'envie [English translation]

Somebody, give me darkness and then light

Somebody, give me hunger and thirst and then a feast

Somebody, take what's useless and secondary from me

Let me find again the value of life... at last!

Somebody, give me toil so that I'd like to sleep

Somebody, give me the cold so that I like the flame

So that I love my land, somebody give me exile

And somebody, lock me up for a year so that I dream of women!

They gave me too much far before desire (came)

I have forgotten about dreams and thanks

All these things which had a value,

which make up the desire to live and the desire

and the pleasure too...

Somebody, give me the desire

the desire to feel desire...

Somebody light up my life!

Somebody, give me hatred so that I love love

And solitude too so that I love people

So that I like silence, somebody make speeches to me

And (I would like) to brush misery to respect money!1

So that I become healthy, overcome sickness

Somebody, give me the night so that I love the day

Somebody, give me the day so that I love the night2

So that I like today to forget about the "always"!3

They gave me too much far before desire (came)

I have forgotten about dreams and thanks

All these things which had a value,

which make up the desire to live and the desire

and the pleasure too...

Somebody, give me the desire

the desire to feel desire...

Somebody light up my life!

1. The pathetic spoiled brat went to live in Belgium to escape the French equivalent of the IRS...2. Somebody give me some snow so that I powder my nose,

Somebody, give me a nose so that I can powder it with snow...3. If you say so, Johnny...
