Original Lyrics

Scarabée

Sur le radeau, t'es seul
T'es beau, tu rames au fil de l'eau
A quatre, la vie est plus belle
L'amour, l'amitié, c'est tout pareil

On t'aimait, Scarabée, on t'aimait

Au fil de l'eau
On croit que la vie est éternelle
On meurt parfois
De chanter seul
A quatre, à quatre, les murs font prison
Ça fait rien
Il fait beau

Au fil du temps
T'es seul, t'es grand
Et tu souris aux gens...
Du ciel la vie est plus belle
L'amour, l'amitié, c'est tout pareil

On t'aimait, Scarabée, on t'aimait

Dans le soleil
Tu sais que la vie est éternelle
Y a plus de combat
On n'est plus seul
Au ciel, on n'est plus seul

Ça fait rien, il fait beau

Tout seul sur le terre
Chante un scarabée assassiné
Tout seul, il chante comme il chantait
Tout seul sur la terre
Chante un scarabée qu'on a tué
Tout seul, il chante comme il chantait

On t'aimait John-SKARABÉ, on t'aime
English Translation

Beatle*

On the raft, you're alone 
You're beautiful, you row with the current 
At four, life is more beautiful 
Love, friendship, it's all the same 

We loved you, Beatle, we loved you 

With the current 
We believe life is eternal 
We die sometimes 
To sing alone 
At four, at four, walls are prisons 
It doesn't matter 
It is fine 

With time 
You're alone, you're tall 
And you smile at people 
From heaven life is more beautiful 
Love, friendship, it's all the same 

We loved you, Beatle, we loved you 

In the sun 
You know that life is eternal 
No more combat (fight/battle) 
We're not alone anymore 
In heaven, we're not alone anymore 

It doesn't matter, it is fine 

All alone on earth 
Sings a murdered Beatle 
All alone, he sings like he sang (before) 
All alone on earth 
Sings a Beatle which we killed 
All alone, he sings like he sang 

We loved you John-SKARABE, we love you

*
This song is about the Beatles but more precisely about John Lennon
