Lyrics
Les étoiles ne brilleront plus jamais,
Cette Terre si ronde est devenue carrée,
Mais ce que j’en pense
N’a pas d’importance.
Combien d’années, dis-moi, combien de temps
On doit s'entrainer à prendre son élan?
Mais ce que j'avance,
N’a pas d’importance.
Je n'sais que marcher,
On m’a pas appris à voler.
Je voudrai partir loin d’ici,
Un peu comme St Exupéry.
Et mon étoile ne brillera plus jamais,
Il fera nuit sur mon front désormais,
Les yeux qui dansent
Sont des feux follets.
Pourtant, j’aurais brûlé le monde entier.
J’en aurai fait le tour sans m’arrêter.
Mais quand j’y pense:
A quoi bon s’envoler?
Je n'sais que marcher,
On m’a pas appris à voler.
Je voudrai partir loin d’ici,
Un peu comme St Exupéry
Lyrics translation
The stars will never shine again, this earth so round has become Square, but what I think of it does not matter.
How many years, tell me, how long do we have to train to get the momentum going?
But what I advance doesn't matter.
I don't know how to walk. I wasn't taught how to fly.
I want to get away from here, much like St Exupery.
And my star will never shine again, it will be night on my forehead from now on, the dancing eyes are wild fires.
Yet I would have burned the whole world.
I would have walked around without stopping.
But when I think about it: what good is flying?
I don't know how to walk. I wasn't taught how to fly.
I want to go away from here, much like St Exupery
