Et moi, et moi, et moi [English translation]

Seven hundred millions of Chinese

And I and I and I

With my life, my little house

With my headache, my mind

I am thinking about it and then I forget it

That's life, that's life

Eighty millions of Indonesians

And I and I and I

With my car and my dog

His dog food when he is barking

I am thinking about it and then I forget it

That's life, that's life

Three or four hundred millions of Black people

And I and I and I

Who goes to the solarium

To the sauna to lose weight

I am thinking about it and then I forget it

That's life, that's life

Three hundred millions of Soviets

And I and I and I

With my obsessions and my tics

In my little bed of goose plumes

I am thinking about it and then I forget it

That's life, that's life

Fifty millions of imperfect people

And I and I and I

Who are watching Catherine Langeais

On television at home

I am thinking about it and then I forget it

That's life, that's life

Nine hundred millions who peg out from hunger

And I and I and I

With my vegetarian diet

And all the whisky which I am boozing

I am thinking about it and then I forget it

That's life, that's life

Five hundred millions of South Americans

And I and I and I

I am all nude in my batroom

With a girl who is drying me

I am thinking about it and then I forget it

That's life, that's life

Fifty millions of Vietnamese

And I and I and I

On sundays I am on the prowl for rabbits

With my rifle, I am the king

I am thinking about it and then I forget it

That's life, that's life

Five hundred milliards of little Martians

And I and I and I

Like a Parisian fool

I am waiting for my check at the end of month

I am thinking about it and then I forget it

That's life, that's life

I am thinking about it and then I forget it

That's life, that's life
