La radio [English translation]

Everyday someone is telling me how happy how happy I am

That I live the life to the full because I have a mobile and I'm connected

Washing machine and espresso machine, flat screen tv, computer

And I'm special because I have a card with the name on it

With which I will soon buy on house on the earth

With a garage, two cars and a rottweiler in the yard

And I will receive a wife, ugly and quite stupid

And two kids at the American school

A nanny that is my mistress and cheats me and who wants to [go to] the gym

We are all a community of dreams broken into thousands of monthly [bank] payments

Of dreams broken into thousands of monthly [bank] payments

I don't want to become like that

That's not me and I must escape

To get to the radio

To tell who I really am

To the radio, I want to get to the radio

So a whole country can hear who I really am

To the radio, I want to get to the radio

So a whole country can hear who I really am

My girlfriend works in a coffee shop

She wants to become an actress

Every evening I come and take her home

In two rooms and a terrace

This is how our house is, blue

My girlfriend cooks, I help her with the dreams

Then I go onto streets and sidewalks

Dirty from the the stories [written] with the chalk

And I meet with three vagabond friends

They're vagabonds but I know them since [I was] little

And we go to an internet [café] to see how it is

And what's the deal, and how the things are going

My girlfriend dreams and I save money

To take her far and travel

To love each other and dance on the tables1

This is my story and I want you to broadcast it to the radio

So that all the pepole hear

That life is simple and cool

And I love my girl

To the radio, I want to get to the radio

So a whole country can hear who I really am

To the radio, I want to get to the radio

So a whole country can hear who I really am

The washing machine won't get me cleaner

Nor will the espresso machine guess my future

My name I don't want to see it on the card

And happiness is not bought into monthly [bank] payments

To the radio, I want to get to the radio

So a whole country can hear who I really am

To the radio, I want to get to the radio

So a whole country can hear who I really am
