Sur le radeau, t'es seul, t'es beau
On the raft, you're alone, you're beautiful
Tu rames au fil de l'eau
You row along the water's flow
À quatre, la vie est plus belle
With four, life is more beautiful
L'amour, l'amitié, c'est tout pareil, oh
Love, friendship, it's all the same, oh
On t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, Scarabée
Oh
Oh
On t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, Scarabée
Au fil de l'eau
Along the water's flow
On croit que la vie est éternelle
We believe that life is eternal
On meurt parfois
We die sometimes
De chanter seul
To sing alone
À quatre, à quatre, les murs font prison, oh
In groups of four, the walls become a prison, oh
On t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, Beetle
Oh
Oh
On t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, Beetle
Ça fait rien
It doesn't matter
On t'aimait, t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, loved you, Beetle
Il fait beau
The weather is nice
On t'aimait, t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, loved you, Beetle
Ça fait rien
It doesn't matter
On t'aimait, t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, loved you, Beetle
Il fait beau
The weather's nice
On t'aimait, t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, loved you, Beetle
Au fil du temps
As time goes by
T'es seul, t'es grand
You're alone, you're tall
Et tu souris aux gens
And you smile at people
Du ciel, la vie est plus belle
From the sky, life is more beautiful
L'amour, l'amitié, c'est tout pareil, oh
Love, friendship, it's all the same, oh
On t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, Beetle
Oh
Oh
On t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, Beetle
Dans le soleil
In the sun
Tu sais que la vie est éternelle
You know that life is eternal
Y a plus d'combat
There's no more fight
On n'est plus seul
We're not alone anymore
On n'est plus seul au ciel
We're not alone in the sky anymore
Ça fait rien
It doesn't matter
On t'aimait, t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, loved you, Beetle
Il fait beau
It's beautiful out
On t'aimait, t'aimait, Scarabée
We loved you, loved you, Beetle
Tout seul sur la Terre
All alone on Earth
Chante un scarabée assassiné
Sings a murdered beetle
Tout seul, il chante comme il chantait
All alone, he sings as he sang
Tout seul sur la Terre
All alone on Earth
Chante un scarabée qu'on a tué
Sings a beetle that was killed
Tout seul, il chante comme il chantait
All alone, he sings as he sang
Tout seul sur la Terre
All alone on Earth
Chante un scarabée assassiné
Sings a murdered beetle
Tout seul, il chante comme il chantait
All alone, he sings as he sang
Tout seul sur la Terre
All alone on Earth
Chante un scarabée qu'on a tué
Sing of a beetle that has been killed
Tout seul, il chante comme il chantait (il chante comme il chantait)
All alone, he sings just like he sang (he sings just like he sang)
Tout seul sur la Terre
All alone on the Earth
Chante un scarabée assassiné
Sing of a beetle that was murdered
Tout seul, il chante comme il chantait (il chante comme il chantait)
All alone, he sings just like he sang (he sings just like he sang)
Tout seul sur la Terre
All alone on the Earth
Chante un scarabée qu'on a tué
Sing of a beetle that has been killed
