Lyrics
Reniflés par un chien
Les poches retournées
On nous dévisageait
A la douane on cherchait
A ne oas avoir l’air
Ni fier ni trop aimable
L’air de ce qu’on était
Comme nous, stationnait le ciel
On attendait quelque chose, un orage
Et chcun repensait
A ceux qui l’attendait
Aux promesses de retour
Que tous on avait fait
Tandis qu’on nous jaugeait
Qu’on nous regardait bien
On se concentrait pour
Ne ressembler à rien
De fro, tières en frontières
Et de Douanes en douanes
Certains ont tout passé déjà
Ils ont fait le grand tour
Sans s’en être aperçu
Repassant dans des villes
Qui ont changé de nom
Qu’ils n’ont pas reconnues
Surveillés par un chien
Les poches retournées
Presque méconnaissables
Tant nos visages
A force d'être dévisagés
Ne savent plus se reprendre
Tant nos cartes
A force d'être manipulées
Tendent à s'éffacer
(Merci à loic pour cettes paroles)
Lyrics translation
Sniffed by a dog
Flipped pockets
We were staring at each other.
At the customs we were looking for
Don't look
Neither proud nor too kind
The look of what we were
Like us, parked the sky
We were expecting something, a thunderstorm.
And chcun was rethinking
To those who waited for him
To promises of return
That we all had done
While we were being measured
That we were being looked at
We were focusing on
Look like nothing
De fro, tières en frontières
And from Customs to customs
Some have already passed everything
They made the big turn
Without realizing it
Ironing in cities
Who changed their names
That they did not recognize
Watched by a dog
Flipped pockets
Almost unrecognizable
So much our faces
By being looked at
Do not know how to recover
Both our maps
By force of being manipulated
Tend to fade
(Thanks to loic for these words)
