Lyrics

Regarde-toi, vieille bête
Regarde-toi
Et maintenant, vieille bête
Ta vie, c’est quoi?
Ton homme est au cimetière
Ton enfant chez les bourgeois
Tout c' que tu avais sur Terre
T’a glissé entre les doigts
Ta vie, c’est quoi?
Regarde-toi
Vieille arbre, tu perds tes feuilles
Et tes branches sont cassées
Y a plus personne qui cueille
Tes fruits tombés
Regarde-toi, vieille bête
Regarde-toi
Et maintenant, vieille bête
Ta vie, c’est quoi?
Un escargot sans coquille
Un hérisson déroulé
Ou le ventre d’une fille
Abandonnée
Regarde-toi, vieille bête
Regarde-toi
Et maintenant, vieille bête
Ta vie, c’est quoi?
Pauvre carcasse inutile
Herbe sèche en plein désert
Filet d’eau qui se faufile
Et qui se perd
Regarde-toi, vieille bête
Regarde-toi
Et maintenant, vieille bête
Ta vie, c’est quoi?
Ton homme est au cimetière
Ton enfant chez les bourgeois
Tout ce que tu avais sur Terre
T’a glissé entre les doigts
Ta vie, c’est quoi?
Regarde-toi

Lyrics translation

Look at you, you old beast.
Look at you
And now, you old beast
What is your life?
Your man's at the cemetery.
Your child among the bourgeois
Everything you had on Earth
Slipped through your fingers
What is your life?
Look at you
Old tree, you lose your leaves
And your branches are broken
There's no one picking.
Your fallen fruits
Look at you, you old beast.
Look at you
And now, you old beast
What is your life?
A snail without a shell
An unwound Hedgehog
Or the belly of a girl
Deserted
Look at you, you old beast.
Look at you
And now, you old beast
What is your life?
Poor useless carcass
Dry grass in the open desert
Trickle of water that sneaks
And who gets lost
Look at you, you old beast.
Look at you
And now, you old beast
What is your life?
Your man's at the cemetery.
Your child among the bourgeois
Everything you had on Earth
Slipped through your fingers
What is your life?
Look at you
