Le Galopin [English translation]

You had eyes of soil,

muddy curtains,

And a million seas

upon your cheeks.

I'm holding you by the arm

I'm not saying anything, you see?

It must be said that saying it

doesn't help.

What if we stop worrying

just long enough to have a child

Sometimes thinking little

is good.

And telling each other we are okay

is better.

There are thousands of sails

that have never seen water.

We shouldn't settle in too much

if time extinguishes us

after a thousand mornings

Then, talking little

will be good

But telling each other we are okay

will be better

Watch the stars

and see how we feel human.

Telling each other that we are only a slab

Oh we are nothing

We will do as we can

We will have kids

Worrying a little

is good

But telling each other that we are okay

is better

There are so many perfumes at the Clichy market

I found your's there Saturday

I made my soap with it

I made my song about it

This seems so stupid

I know

But you will see tomorrow

what songs do

Oh crying a little

is good

And telling each other that we are okay

is an understatement

But better
