On nous ment [English translation]

With a torch in hand

He tries to find his way

Did you see him

With a torch in hand

He tries to find his way

Did you see him

Did you see him

They always tell us lies

They always tell us lies

They tell us lies

In the fair coats

In the coats

Velvet coats

They tell us lies

They tell us lies

They tell us lies

They tell us lies

Then he spends time reading comics

Three o'clock at night tv is on

And the upstairs neighbour

Torch in hand

He tries to find his way

Did you see him

Did you see him

They lie about this

They lie about that

Then you tend to anything

Everything tends to that

Everything overturned

A stain on the tablecloth

That's how life is

They always tell us lies

They always tell us lies

They tell us al...

They tell us al...

They lie and mislay

They Monte-Christo

They Montessori

They lie about all that

With a torch in hand

He tries to find his way

Did you see him

Did you see him

In the red-light streets

And the lace hems

And the small booklets

They lie to us

They lie about this

They lie about that

Not at all what you may read

Not what you think

They lie in the morning

They lie in the evening

They sell us

They sell us hope

In the immensity of the big city

I had chosen falsehood

In the immensity of the big city
