Lyon presqu'île [English translation]

The sleeping water is waking up

After a long night of sleep

It's like if I had left, left the old girl

I'm between the hill who prays

and the hill who cries

I close my eyes

and take in the rays of the sun.

I will try everything or die trying

feeling death coming

at least, I hope, I hope

I will try most of the time

Even at the other side of the sky

at least, I hope, I hope, I hope

To see the sea and family again

The dawn, the golden statue

The ballpoint pen tower*

Lyon, presqu'île

There is a bleak station and a proud one

from which to go to the mountain

It's like if I left, left yesterday

And the statue of the Sun King

on the eternally grand square

Bellecour, swallowed

Swallowed by the sun

I will try everything or die trying

feeling death coming

at least, I hope, I hope

I will try most of the time

Even at the other side of the sky

at least, I hope, I hope, I hope

To see the sea and family again

The dawn, the golden statue

The ballpoint pen tower

Lyon, presqu'île

Lyon, presqu'île

I would like to finish here

or not far from Italy

with those whom I cherish

The girl that I love

and then watch the ivy grow

Guitar slung over my shoulder

Even if I am not a hippie, hippie,

Hippie chic as always

I will try everything or die trying

feeling death coming

at least, I hope, I hope

I will try most of the time

Even at the other side of the sky

at least, I hope, I hope,

I hope to see again

Lyon, presqu'île

Lyon, presqu'île
