Là-bas [English translation]

Today, I've done nothing

I've listened to flies flying

In their droning

And their reflections, sea of silver*

Over there

Nobody gets bored

If I'll breathe again,

I don't know, maybe I'm dead

I can't agitate myself any more

I barely have the strength to dream

Over there

Everything is going well for me

I no longer think of my parents

Besides, they never had any children

So

I can't be dead

Before I go there

I've learned that there are prairies

Where you can gallop

Where you can do that without stopping, to infinity

Over there

Like in the cinema

From the depths of my exile,

I tell you all to go fuck yourselves**

Very calmly

Over there

Don't hold it against me
