La même [English translation]

My friends understood the life I lead

Where people were waiting for me, I didn't come

If I mix them up, if I bother them

It's just because I'm a mess, a mix-up

I'm too complicated, I'll always pick

Both sides, don't ask me

Where I want to go, even monkeys mimic wise men

And these wise men have made cages to put us all in

Eh, eh, aye, aye

Aye, aye, aye

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

Eh, eh, aye, aye

Aye, aye, aye

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

They take boxes to put people in, while deep down, never understanding it

Mankind is made of a thousand boxes, those boxes we take are never large enough

I followed thousands of paths and shook ten thousand hands

You can love Brel and Megui, love even our enemies

I'm too complicated, I'll never fit

In your little squares, I live from day to day

So I zigzag with these dark glasses

I hear people wondering: "When will the mask fall?"

Eh, eh, aye, aye

Aye, aye, aye

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

Eh, eh, aye, aye

Aye, aye, aye

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

You came into my life, oh, my cherished freedom

Life is about desires, desires before opinions

You came into my life, oh, my cherished freedom

Life is about desires, desires before opinions

Eh, eh, aye, aye

Aye, aye, aye

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

Eh, eh, aye, aye

Aye, aye, aye

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

Eh, eh, aye, aye

Aye, aye, aye

If I bother you, well, it's all the same

If I bother you, well, it's all the same
