Trop tôt, trop tard [English translation]

While rain, every night,

Hits your roof tiles, not one drop of oil

Knocks on the window

Of your poor old rusty brain.

Your smell is rancid, like an old wet dog

You feel autumn coming and you're surprised

By white hairs, by all of this time

Killed doing nothing,

When you take your false teeth out

You're angry at the whole world

You're angry at your friends

At all of those who left

Who left you

Since tomorrow will already feel like

it was yesterday, mischievious fate

100 000 regrets

To swear to get on the next train

That enters the station, and leaves again

Always too early for too late

And you're surpised by all of this time

Killed doing nothing

Your life is nothing more than a damp squib

And your friends, poor baby

The same friends

Those who, like you, have not moved

The same jokes, the same trips

Pasta and TV

And your sister, in the kitchen

When it is so sad you could cry

It's dumb to say, you have to laugh.

Always too early for too late

Always too early for too late

To swear to get on the next train

That enters the station,

To swear to get on the next train

That enters the station, and leaves again

Always too early for too late

Always too early for too late

For lack of anything better

You play the big game

There is no more love in your home

Your life is a damp squib

[Like a joint] That you light and smoke

And you're surprised by all this time

Wasted listening to you speak

All alone, in your nice scenery

When laziness has you on a leash

Your sadness as sole mistress

For lack of anything better

Always too early for too late

Always too early for too late
