Que Fait La Vie?
Mais que fait la vie
Que fait la vie
Que fait la nuit de nos bébés
Qui dois-je annoncer
Faire le pressing ou repasser
J'hésite
Je m'étais déjà repliée
Des pompes ou des apnées
J'hésite
Un mille bornes, plutôt creuver
Mais que fait la vie
Que fait la vie
Que fait la nuit de nos dossiers
Qui dois-je dénoncer
J'aurais voulu que tu me vois
Le long des alluvions
Des hallus que nous avions
Affrontant dragons
Simbad et aragon ...
J'aurais voulu que tu me crois
En proie à l'oregon ...
Mais que fait la vie
Que fait la vie
Que fait la nuit de nos allées
De nos lauriers jonchées
Donner des ordres au jardinier
J'hésite
Trop d'infos à recouper
Trop de chiffres à défricher
J'hésite
Et des halos à décrocher
J'aurais voulu que tu me vois
Le long des alluvions
Des hallus que nous avions
Affrontant dragons
Simbad et aragon ...
J'aurais voulu que tu me crois
En proie à l'oregon ...
Faire le pressing ou repasser
J'hésite
Je m'étais déjà repliée
Des pompes ou des apnées
J'hésite
Un mille bornes, plutôt creuver
J'aurais voulu que tu me vois
Le long des alluvions
Des hallus que nous avions
Affrontant dragons
Simbad et aragon ...
J'aurais voulu que tu me crois
En proie à l'oregon ...
Mais que fait la vie
Que fait la vie
Que fait la vie |

Translation
What's Life Doing?
But what's life doing
What's life doing
What's the night doing with our babies
Who must I announce
To go to the dry cleaning or to iron
I hesitate
I already had folded myself*
Push ups or apnées**
I hesitate
Un mille bornes***, to rather die
But what's life doing
What's life doing
What's the night doing with our files
Who must I announce
I would have liked you to see me
Along the alluvium
The hallus** we had
Confronting dragons
Simbad and aragon****
I would have like you to believe me
Prey to oregon (Canadian state)
But what's life doing
What's life doing
What's the night doing with our alleys
Of our littered laurels
To give orders to the gardener
I avoid
To many infos to recut
To many numbers (figures) to clear up
I avoid
and the halos to unhook (to take down)
I would have like you to see me
Along the alluvium
The hallus we had
Confronting dragons
Simbad and aragon...
I would have like you to believe me
Prey to oregon...
To go to the dry cleaning or to iron
I hesitate
I already had folded myself
Push ups or apnees
I hesitate
Un mille bornes, to rather die
I would have like you to see me
Along the alluvium
The hallus we had
Confronting dragons
Simbad and aragon...
I would have like you to believe me
Prey to oregon...
But what's life doing
What's life doing
What's life doing
* this is a "jeu de mots" so I think she means withdrew when she says
folded
** I'm not sure of the translation of this word
*** I don't know the translation, it's a card game
**** aragon was a poet and writer |
