lyrics

Sans rancune

Larmes des yeux, les malheurs des malheureux.
Malheurs sans intérêt et larmes sans couleurs.
Il ne demande rien, il n’est pas insensible,
Il est triste en prison et triste s’il est libre.


Il fait un triste temps, il fait une nuit noire
À ne pas mettre un aveugle dehors. Les forts

Sont assis, les faibles tiennent le pouvoir
Et le roi est debout près de la reine assise.


Sourires et soupirs, des injures pourrissent

Dans la bouche des muets et dans les yeux des lâches.
Ne prenez rien: ceci brûle, cela flambe!
Vos mains sont faites pour vos poches et vos fronts.

Une ombre…

Toute l’infortune du monde
Et mon amour dessus
Comme une bête nue.

No hard feelings ...

Tears from the eyes, the misfortunes of the unfortunate.
Uninteresting misfortunes and colorless tears.
He asks for nothing, he is not insensitive,
He is sad in prison and sad if he is free.

It's a sad day, it's a dark night
Not to put a blind man out.
The strong sit, the weak hold power
And the king is standing near the seated queen.

Smiles and sighs, insults rot
In the mouths of the mute and in the eyes of cowards.
Don't take anything: this is burning, this is flaming!
Your hands are made for your pockets and your foreheads.

A shadow…
All the misfortune in the world
And my love on it
Like a naked beast.
