D'où est d'où vient l'homme
Where is the man from, where does he come?
C'est la question qui nous taraude
It's the question that haunts us.
D'où est d'où est l'âme
Where is the soul from?
Qui donc a inventé le code
Who then invented the code?
Avant toi tant d'autres ont cherché
Before you, so many others have searched
A le toucher le ciel
To touch the sky,
Même artificiel
Even if artificial.
Doué pour voler
Gifted to fly,
L'oiseau excite ta jalousie
The bird stirs your jealousy.
Ferme les volets
Close the shutters.
Tu pourrais te prendre pour lui
You could believe yourself to be him
Acide est la vie qui t'entoure
Acid is the life that surrounds you
Autour de toi l'amour
Around you, love
A si peur du vide
So afraid of the void
Psychédélices
Psychedelic delights
L'hélice s'éclipse
The propeller fades away
Tu bois le calice
You drink from the chalice
Jusqu'à l'hallali
Until the final hunt
Psychédélices
Psychedelic delights
Il n'y a qu'Alice
There's only Alice
Pour croire aux marveilles
To believe in wonders
Après le réveil
After the awakening
D'où est d'où vient l'homme
Where is the man from, where does he come from
Petit marcheur dans le réel
Little walker in the real
D'où sont ses atomes
Where are his atoms
De quelle étoile quelle étincelle
From which star, which spark
Tu crois que ton corps a des ailes
You think your body has wings
Que l'ange Gabriel
That the angel Gabriel
Est là pour l'annonce
Is here for the announcement
Doux est le satin
Soft is the satin
Quand la nuit noire s'habille de white
When the dark night dresses in white
Ta lampe d'Aladin
Your Aladdin's lamp
Soudain brille de cinq cent mille watts
Suddenly shines with five hundred thousand watts
Acide est le temps qui s'en va
The time that slips away is acidic
Vacille autour de toi
It wavers around you
Tu n'en reviens pas
You can't believe it
Psychédélices
Psychedelic delights
Délisoleil
Sunlit unraveling
Tu bois le calice
You drink from the chalice
Jusqu'á l'hallali
Until the final hunt
Psychédélices
Psychedelic treats
Il n'y a qu'Alice
There's only Alice
Pour croire aux marveilles
To believe in wonders
Après le réveil
After the wakefulness
