Une guitare, un citoyen [English translation]

For example to be elsewhere

To want to be elsewhere

Nothing to do

To want nothing to do

To lose the streets

To walk down the avenues

To believe in people

With concerns of money

To feel her empty heart madly

Like it couldn't feel feelings anymore

And in these circumstances

On a red Gibson*

An old man that sings

This can do good

A guitar and a citizen

For example life is a razor

To go in the morning and come back at night

To be so bored

To put on the tv all the time

To see the world on it and the messes

And then after as we all slouched

To go out to get some air

To reflect on his career

The seminars and the charming smiles

Mixing feelings and the dismissals

The girls passing on very funny Sundays

And in these circumstances

A fire on a beach

And these girls that dance

This can do good

A guitar and a citizen

For example she left

And the girls when they have left

We let an evil inside

An evil inside

To sit down in the square

But what was up yesterday night

With my heart and all my habits

All my mirrors she left

And I am all alone in Paris on the Seine

All alone in Rennes and on the Vilaine

All alone in London in Timbuktu

Everywhere all alone and these lovers everywhere

To hang in the rolled bed in melancholy

To hang out in slippers

With chewing gum in his mouth

And in these circumstances

Chala la la la chala la la la

This can do good

A guitar and a citizen

Chala la la la

A guitar and a citizen
