Le blues du businessman [English translation]

I'm doing well in my business

I'm doing well in my love affairs

I often change my secretary

I have my office on top of a tower

From where I see the city upside down

From where I control my universe

I spend half of my life in the air

Between New York and Singapore

I always travel in first class

I have my second home

At all the Hilton on Earth

I can't stand misery...

I'm not happy, but I look like I am

I lost the humour sense

Since I got the business sense

I succeeded and I'm proud of it

Actually I have only one regret

I don't do what I wish I had wanted to do...

I wish I had been an artist

To be able to do my show

When the airplane touches the ground

In Rotterdam or Rio

I wish I had been a singer

To be able to shout who I am

I wish I had been an actor

To be able to invent my life

I wish I had been an actor

To change my skin everyday

And to be able find myself beautiful

On a big color screen

I wish I had been an artist

To be able to be an anarchist

And live like... a millionaire

I wish I had been an artist

To have to make the world again

To be able to tell why I exist
