Cours
Run
Jusqu'à perdre haleine
Until you're out of breath
Enjambe la baleine
Leap over the whale
Sur le sable échouée
On the stranded sand
Près du manège hanté
Near the haunted carousel
Tu en as assez
You've had enough
Cours
Run
Jusqu'à bout de souffle
Until you're gasping for air
Fuis cette odeur de souffre
Flee this smell of sulfur
De sable mazouté
Of sand tarred with oil
Le sort en est jeté
The die is cast
Tu en as assez
You've had enough
Cours
Run
Jusqu'à la débâcle
Until the downfall
Cours, c'est du beau spectacle
Run, it's quite a show
Traverse l'avenue
Cross the avenue
L'âme, la lune est pieds nus
The soul, the moon is barefoot
Cours, tu n'en peux plus
Run, you can't take it anymore
(Cours)
(Run)
Cours
Run
Sur le pont immense
On the vast bridge
Cours, même à contre-sens
Run, even against the flow
Évite les autos
Dodge the cars
Qui te gifflent le dos
That slap your back
Cours, c'en est trop
Run, it's too much
Cours
Run
Mon amour
My love
Repartons de zéro
Let's start from scratch
Mon amour
My love
Repartons de zéro (mon amour)
Let's start from scratch (my love)
Mon amour (repartons)
My love (let's start again)
Repartons de zéro
Let's start from scratch
Mon amour
My love
