Les hirondelles [English translation]

When people saw him,

He was perfect

And lived the life others dreamed of

He had a charming family,

A business doing more than well,

A loving wife

But the truth is,

He was drained

And only thought about running away

And yet, every single day,

He wore his smiling mask,

Like a façade

[Chorus]

The image of ourselves that we show

Is not always the right one

Flying, the larks are flying

Even the most beautiful feathers

Can feel like a cage

She was distant,

A little arrogant

People thought she was snobbish and condescending

Never mingling with others,

Her gaze flying above the rest of them,

Cold and inconsiderate

But her self-importance

Was nothing more than her defence

And a way to keep up appearances,

For this timid girl

Had always, in vain, wanted to find

Strong friendships

[Chorus]

People often said

That he was likeable

And had the soul of someone who enjoyed life,

A man without torments

Who let himself be carried by the wind,

A Roger GoodTime

But when he drank,

It was that deep inside of me

Was hiding an uneasiness, a drag

And his friendly ways,

And his party-goer façade,

Were nothing more than barricades

[Chorus]

Flying, the larks are flying

The image of ourselves that we show

Is not always the right one

Flying, the larks are flying

Even the most beautiful feathers

Can feel like a cage

Flying, the larks are flying

When they are tired,

The fall down like rocks
