Lyrics
Sous ses yeux encore une fois la viande
Et la chair souple et les abats
Et l’animal sur lequel il se penche
Et fait ce que sait faire son bras
Il aimerait faire autre chose qu’abattre
Ben disait pareil autrefois
Quand après six heures ils rentraient ensemble
Avant d’essayer d’oublier tout ça
Ils allaient boire et ils sentaient leurs jambes fléchir
Et ils voyaient leurs bras
Glisser de la table et tomber la cendre par terre
Mais ils n’oubliaient pas
Le lendemain à nouveau dans le monde
Des cartilages et des abats
Ils n’attendaient qu’une chose que le soir tombe
Ils ne voulaient penser qu'à ça
Comme aurait dit, comme aurait dit, comme aurait dit Ben
Comme aurait dit, comme aurait dit, comme aurait dit Ben
Comme aurait dit Ben
Vite, que le soir tombe
Que le soir tombe quel qu’il soit
On peut faire une chose longtemps sans trop y penser
Mais un jour va savoir pourquoi
On se voit faire et on ne peut plus supporter
De n’avoir su que faire que ça de ses doigts
Ainsi un jour Ben a semblé hésiter
Tandis qu’il travaillait son bras
Est retombé sur l'étal il s’est figé
Il a dit c’est assez pour moi
Depuis l’autre rentre seul et s’est promis
D’arrêter aussi bientôt
De changer sa vie d’en faire autre chose
Mais pas maintenant c’est trop tôt
Des camions arrivent des bêtes en descendent
Précipitamment en voilà
Une qui vient à lui sur elle il se penche
Et fait ce que sait faire son bras
Comme aurait dit, comme aurait dit, comme aurait dit Ben
Comme aurait dit, comme aurait dit, comme aurait dit Ben
Comme aurait dit Ben
Vite, que le soir tombe
Que le soir tombe quel qu’il soit
Lyrics translation
Before his eyes once again the meat
And soft flesh and offal
And the animal on which he leans
And does what his arm knows how to do
He'd like to do something other than shoot down
Ben used to say the same thing.
When after six hours they came home together
Before you try to forget all that
They were going to drink and they felt their legs flex
And they saw their arms
Slide from the table and fall ash on the ground
But they did not forget
The next day again in the world
Cartilage and offal
They were waiting for only one thing that the evening falls
They just wanted to think about it
As would have said, as would have said, as would have said Ben
As would have said, as would have said, as would have said Ben
As Ben would have said
Hurry, let the evening fall
Let the evening fall whatever
You can do one thing for a long time without thinking too much about it
But one day will know why
We get done and we can't take it anymore
For only knowing how to do that with his fingers
So one day Ben seemed to hesitate
While he was working his arm
Fell back on the stall he froze
He said it's enough for me
Since the other comes home alone and promised himself
To stop too soon
To change his life to do something else
But not now it's too soon
Trucks come beasts come down
Hurriedly here it is
One who comes to him on it he bends over
And does what his arm knows how to do
As would have said, as would have said, as would have said Ben
As would have said, as would have said, as would have said Ben
As Ben would have said
Hurry, let the evening fall
Let the evening fall whatever
