Je bois [English translation]

I drink

Purposefully

To forget my wife's friends

I drink

Purposefully

To forget all my troubles

I'll drink

Whatever moonshine

As long as it's a minimum 12.5º

I'll drink

The worst plonk

It's foul, but it passes the time

Is life such a hoot

Is life such a smash

I ask these two questions

Is life worth living

And love, when one's a cuckold

I ask these two questions

That no one answers.... and

I drink

Purposefully

To forget the next day of the hour

I drink

Purposefully

To forget that I'm no longer twenty

I drink

As soon as I'm free

To be drunk, so that I don't have to look at myself

I drink

Without pleasure

So that I don't have to tell myself that I'd better end it
