Lyrics
Extraits
La route est un long ruban
Qui défile qui défile
Et se perd à l’infini
Loin des villes, loin des villes
Le routier à son volant
Qui trépide qui trépide
N’a jamais jamais le temps
De regarder l’firmament
Si tu veux vivre longtemps
Attention à ton volant
Le jour se lève et décline
Sur la route qui chemine
Il doit pousser sa machine
Car c’est là qu’est son usine
Ignorant les autres routes
Qui s’en vont en musardant
Le routier n’a jamais l’temps
De se perdre dans les champs
Lyrics translation
Extract
The road is a long ribbon
Who scrolls who scrolls
And gets lost endlessly
Away from the cities, away from the cities
The driver at his wheel
Who trepide who trepide
Never never time
To look at the firmament
If you want to live long
Watch your steering wheel
The day rises and falls
On the road that walks
He has to push his machine
Because that's where his factory is
Ignoring other roads
Who are leaving by gnawing
The trucker never has time
From getting lost in the fields
