Lyrics
Tu bavardes et fais des bulles
tu regardes la pendule
tu dis que c’est ridicule
que c’est bête de rêver
mais si tu cherches fortune
il te faudra marcher
peut-être pour la lune
peut-être pour des prunes
l’important, c’est de marcher
si, depuis ton enfance
l’amour te fait courir
fous-toi de ceux qui pensent
que c’est perdu d’avance
l’important, c’est de courir
et si ta terre promise
n’est qu’un cul-de-sac
si tes souliers ont moins de reprise
qu’une cadillac
si à cent ans tu attends toujours
dis merde à la mort, la vie vaut bien le détour
mais si tu cherches fortune
de ruisseau en ruisseau
tu choperas des rhumes
t’y laisseras des plumes
mais tu seras bien dans ta peau
et si ta terre promise
n’est qu’un cul-de-sac
si tes souliers ont moins de reprise
qu’une cadillac
si à cent ans tu attends toujours
dis merde à la mort, la vie vaut bien le détour
mais si tu cherches fortune
ne sois pas trop pressé
retarde la pendule
bavarde et fais des bulles
l’important, c’est de rêver
de rêver
(Merci à Dandan pour cettes paroles)
Lyrics translation
You talk and make bubbles
you look at the clock
you say it's ridiculous
that it's stupid to dream
but if you're looking for fortune
you'll have to walk
maybe for the moon
maybe for plums
the important thing is to walk
yes, since your childhood
love makes you run
do not care for those who think
that it is lost in advance
the important thing is to run
and if your Promised Land
it's just a cul-de-sac
if your shoes have less recovery
than a cadillac
if at a hundred years you're still waiting
say shit to death, life is well worth the detour
but if you're looking for fortune
from stream to stream
you'll catch colds
you'll leave feathers there
but you'll be fine in your own skin
and if your Promised Land
it's just a cul-de-sac
if your shoes have less recovery
than a cadillac
if at a hundred years you're still waiting
say shit to death, life is well worth the detour
but if you're looking for fortune
don't be too hasty
delay the pendulum
chat and bubble
the important thing is to dream
to dream
(Thanks to Dandan for these words)
