Pour y voir [English translation]

To hear you cry

From the first breath

From the first mouthful

Of oxygen

To see you be hungry

To see you look for the breast

That she'll take from you soon

To teach you how to live

To see the infinite

The infinity of sorrows

The infinity that empties

Infinitely

No thanks

No mercy

To see you crucified

By life and by the world

Streams of girls

To see it torn apart

To see you become

Yes to become death

Expert in assurances

A cemetery in waiting

No thanks

No mercy

No thanks

No mercy

To add to the world

Another mouth to feed

To add to the world

Another soldier another breathless1

To add to the world

Another banker another dreamer

To see the horror of it

To add to the world

Just another grave

To hear cries

Yeah millenniums

For you to understand

That we're nothing more

Than a perfection

Yeah of creation

Just a litter of dogs

Within reach of dogs

Sure that God is in us

When we end up underground

Eaten by the worms

Sure that God is in us

When we end up in Hell

Eaten by the worms

Eaten by the worms

I will write for you

To see the sea there

I will write for you

To see the sea there

To hear Rimbaud

To listen to Mozart

To see the boat there

To see the sea there

And your fulfilled mother

To see dreams there

To only see beauty there

Because it doesn't make sense

Because you are the sense

To tell me that you'll be

So much better than me

So much better than all that

To see the love

Of your first smile

The first incisor

To eat like an ogre

To eat our existence

For your first steps

For your first battle

For your first lunch box

For you first victory

For your first spring

For your first flower

For your first thorn

Your first tear in your heart

For your first girl

For the first caress

For your first love

Your first always

Your first I love you

Your first likewise

For your first love

For your first always

For your first I love you

For your first likewise

So you can make me believe

That it isn't all in vain

That we're here to have a laugh

That we're here for good

So you can make me believe

That it isn't nothing

That we're here to love each other

And to drink good wine

No thanks

No mercy

Yes thanks

Yeah thanks

A jerk in a 4x4

Under the sunburns

Say what will you become

A little bit of sky

A follower of decency

An activist of good

A money-maker

In the wicked abyss

A moon walker

An ivory hunter

Arms dealer in Afghanistan

A light in the evening

I observe glimmers

When I see your smile

In the stomach of your virgin

Who tells me the unknown

Who looks like hope

Who looks like hope

Yes thanks

Sure that God is in us

When we end up underground

Eaten by the worms
