C'est dans l'air [English translation]

Vainness... Is mean

Betrayal... Is mean

Cowardice... Is mean

Informing... Is mean

Cruelty... Is mean

Defamation... Is mean

Harshness... Is mean

Infamy... Is mean as well

Battered ones are unsettling

All the nuts are angels

You're itching to hit the oppressed

Who avenges the badly loved ones?

Tragedies are unsettling

Disastrous ones are angels

Not just like the others, unsettling

Those playing the saints, I don't stand them

It's in the air

It's in the air

It's in the air, it's a requirement

To get some fresh air

To breathe in

To unwind sometimes

It's in the air

It's in the air

It's in the air, it's millenary

Being elated

Pairing

What about our past loves?

It's in the air

It's in the air

It's in the air, it's beneficial

Stampede 1

Better the devil take the hindmost 2

Except that, from here, heavens are far

It's in the air

It's in the air

It's in the air, it's nuclear

Damn about!

We are everything

We will die anyway

And... I sing

I, I... make up my life

Self-complacency... Is mean

Tyranny... Is mean

Perfidy... Is mean

But life is like so.

Rejected ones are unsettling

Yet mad ones are angels

You're itching to hit the misunderstood

What about tricks?

What about wind?
