The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Mais pourtant" by Coralie Clement.

Lyrics

Tu fais comme te dit ton père et sur les yeux, tu as des œillères
Tu dis souvent «tout baigne, tout baigne» mais pourtant…
Tu m’as mis dans des galères, sans même fournir la petite cuillère
Tu dis souvent «tout roule, tout roule» mais pourtant…
Un soir, tu t’endors, au matin, quand tu ouvres les yeux
Autour de toi, il n’y a rien que ce vide qui te ressemble un peu
Tu pensais avoir conquis les affaires, les amours, la vie
Tu dis souvent «je touche du bois» mais pourtant…
Tu voulais une paire d’enfants pour mieux t’en plaindre sur le divan
Tu dis souvent «je croise les doigts» mais pourtant…
Un soir, tu t’endors, au matin, quand tu ouvres les yeux
Autour de toi, il n’y a rien que ce vide qui te ressemble un peu
Mais pourtant… Pourtant, pourtant

Lyrics translation

You do as your father tells you and you have eyes on your eyes
You often say "it's all over, it's all over" but still…
You put me in galleys, without even providing the little spoon
You often say "everything rolls, everything rolls" but still…
One night, you fall asleep, in the morning, when you open your eyes
Around you, there is nothing but that emptiness that looks a little like you
You thought you'd conquered Business, love, life
You often say "I touch wood" but still…
You wanted a pair of kids to better complain about on the couch.
You often say "I cross my fingers" but still…
One night, you fall asleep, in the morning, when you open your eyes
Around you, there is nothing but that emptiness that looks a little like you
But yet ... yet, yet
