Tu fais ton âge [English translation]

You look your age

Despite all the detours

Despite those who surround you

Despite the confusions

You look your age

And when you shriek (make a face?)

It bursts your pupils (stares you in the eyes?)

It burns your ears (ear-drums)

You look your age

I hear at the end of the wire

When you come unstrung (when you slink away)

Your voice makes the start

You look your age

Even if I know very well

That it isn’t easy

To count the Springs

You are not at the age

Where at the bottom of your jeans (!)

Your words are diluted

Rightly or wrongly

An engaging of gears (a correlation?)

Where your life reversed

Falls into the past

No longer seeing the horizon

You look your age

The one which (who) belongs to you

The one whose respect

Forces admiration

You look your age

Even if I know very well

That it isn’t easy

To count the seasons

You look your age

That which suits you well

That which in exile

Now returns

You look your age

From the height of your building (?)

I count the levels

Through the passions

You look your age

It gives you vertigo

It threads too fast

Time is without forgiveness

You look your age

Even if I know very well

That it isn’t easy

To cheat (trap?) the poison
