Danser sur la table [English translation]

You

You say I’m missing

So many things, you don’t know

All the things I’m missing

Still I stay there

Self effacing incapable

Of speaking out like that

Of dancing on the table

You

Since the start

You’ve failed a hundred times

A love affair a fling

A clumsy gesture

An inflammable boy

And someone other than you

Danced on the table

You

You say I prefer

Summers spent under roofs

The beach the green ray

I make that gesture

To shake out the sand

Don’t ask me

To dance on the table

You

You say I’m missing

So many things, and you know

All these things I’m missing

And my life will pass by

And my incredible life

I’ll live like that

Without dancing on the table
