Lyrics
Bonsoir
Ton vehicule n’a pas l`air d`avoir de passager
Peux-tu: Veux tu me recevoir
Sans trop te deranger?
Mes bottes ne feront pas trop d`echos dans ton couloir
Pas de bruit avec mes adieux
Pas pour nous les moments perdus
En attendant un uncertain au-revoir
Parce que-j'ai la folie, oui c’est la folie
Il etait une fois un etudiant
Qui voulait fort, comme en literature
Sa copine, elle etait si douce
Qu’il pouvait presque, en la management
Rejeter tous les vices
Repousser tou les mals
Detruire toutes beautes
Qui par ailleurs, n’avait jamais ete ses complices
Parces qu’il avait la folie, oui, c’est la folie
Et si parfois l’on fait des confessions
A qui les raconter — meme le bon dieu nous a laisse tomber
Un autre endroit, une autre vie
Eh oui, c’est une autre histoire
Mais a qui tou raconter?
Chez les ombres de la nuit?
Au petit matin, au petit gris
Combien de crimes ont ete commis
Contre les mensonges et soi disant les lois du coeur
Combien sont la a cause de la folie
Lyrics translation
Good evening
Your vehicle doesn't look like a passenger.
Can you: will you receive me
Without too much trouble?
My boots won't make too many echoes in your hallway
No noise with my goodbyes
Not for us The Lost moments
Waiting for an uncertain goodbye
Because-I have Madness, yes it is madness
He was once a student
Who wanted strong, as in literature
His girlfriend, she was so sweet
That he could almost, in the management
Reject all vices
Repel all evil
Destroy all beauties
Who, moreover, had never been his accomplices
Looks like he was crazy, yeah, it's crazy.
And if sometimes we make confessions
To whom to tell them-even God has let us down
Another place, another life
Yeah, that's another story.
But to whom shall I tell?
In the shadows of the night?
In the early morning, in the little gray
How many crimes have been committed
Against lies and so-called laws of the heart
How many are The because of madness
