Tout le monde y pense
Everyone's thinking about it
Les hommes, les anges, les vautours
The men, the angels, the vultures
Y'a plus de distance
There's no more distance
Personne qui ait les bras trop courts
No one with arms too short
Tout le monde espère
Everyone's hoping
Même à l'arrière des arrière-cours
Even in the back of backyards
Tout le monde veut son billet retour
Everyone wants their return ticket
D'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour
Of love, of love, of love, of love
Son éclat de chance
Its shining chance
Celui qui vous brûle, vous inonde
The one that burns you, floods you
Mais le ciel s'en balance
But the sky doesn't care
Puisqu'il y en a pas pour tout le monde
Since there's not enough for everyone
Y'a des gens plein les urgences
There are people filling the ERs
Sous les lumières des abats-jour
Under the lights of the lampshades
Qui attendent leur billet retour
Waiting for their return ticket
D'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour
Of love, of love, of love, of love
D'amour
Of love
Ces anges qui dansent
Those angels who dance
Sur ces pistes trempées d'alcool
On these tracks soaked in alcohol
Dans ces caves immenses
In these vast cellars
Les cheveux collés aux épaules
Hair stuck to shoulders
S'envolent en silence
Soars away in silence
Et s'éparpillent au petit jour
And scatters at dawn
En cherchant des billets retour
Searching for return tickets
D'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour
Of love, of love, of love, of love
D'amour
Of love
Ces femmes qui s'avancent
These women who step forward
En tenant au bout de leurs bras
Holding in their arms
Ces enfants qui lancent
These children who throw
Des pierres vers les soldats
Stones at the soldiers
C'est perdu d'avance
It's a lost cause from the start
Les cailloux sur des casques lourds
The pebbles on heavy helmets
Tout ça pour des billets retour
All this for return tickets
D'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour
Of love, of love, of love, of love
D'amour
Of love
Les hommes, les anges, les vautours
The men, the angels, the vultures
Personne qui ait les bras trop courts
No one with arms too short
Tout le monde y pense
Everyone thinks about it
