Tergiverse [English translation]

There's a whole circus in my head

And fire-eaters under my skin

At war with my stomach

And as for friends, I don't have any

I straighten up, full of clumsiness

With competence I sense, I take: failure*

I'm alone, I don't open up

And as for friends, I don't want any

I shift between south and north,

I know the city high and low

And my downs definitely go too low

And my ups are never high enough

Okay, I might have gotten overwhelmed,

But I feel that today is better

It'll be okay, it's true, I assure you

And it's important that you're reassured

I shift between south and north,

I know the city high and low

And my downs definitely go too low

And my ups are never high enough (x2)

How are you going, you?

How are you going?

How are you going, you?

How are you going in school?

As we always say:

"I'm fine, hello,"

Yes, but I don't go to school anymore.

How are you going, you?

I'm fine

What's your name?

That doesn't concern you,

it's none of your business

I'm not going

And then what?

You'll tell me it's nice out

Tell me where you're going,

Tell me where you came from,

Tell me everything,

Tell me almost nothing,

Tell me if you think you'll come back

Would it be impolite, my friend,

To ask you: how old would you be

If the world were to end?

I shift between south and north,

I know the city high and low

And my downs definitely go too low

And my ups are never high enough (x2)
