Translation of À l'heure où je me couche from French to English
One day we came into the world
Since then we've been waiting for the world to come to us
So much the better if the road is long
We can take a few more detours
The future belongs to those who get up at the time I go to bed
The future belongs to those who get up at the time I go to bed
I face life like a blind man with a walkman
Like an anomaly in their program
Your dreams are my nightmares
I'll be 20 all my life, it's never too late
Even if it means losing my way
Not sure the night brings advice when you're hanging out outside
Let me do what I do best
I'll keep messing around until they take me seriously
One day we came into the world
Since then we've been waiting for the world to come to us
So much the better if the road is long
We can take a few more detours
The future belongs to those who get up at the time I go to bed
The future belongs to those who get up at the time I go to bed
Don't ask me what the future holds, I don't know
It's been an eternity since I left my house
My morale in a sad state
Living day by day as if the next one didn't exist
Tired of observing the world from afar
I need to escape my city and its corners
To know what tomorrow looks like
No one wishes me good luck
But I won't spend my life wondering when it starts
One day we came into the world
Since then we've been waiting for the world to come to us
So much the better if the road is long
We can take a few more detours
The future belongs to those who get up at the time I go to bed
The future belongs to those who get up at the time I go to bed
Like the Monday morning hangover
Wanting to turn back halfway through the path
When the whole city tells you you're going nowhere
Like a sleepwalker on the edge of a cliff
Wanting to call for help, for someone to hold your hand
When all you know how to do is procrastinate
At the time I go to bed, when the birds sing
The neighbor goes to work while I fall asleep with bitterness and anxiety in my stomach
Life goes by, I can't wait any longer
And if in the end I stayed stuck forever between the walls of my room
There's nothing to understand when you grow up in a diving suit
We get up, we loaf around, we kill boredom in a shopping mall
I don't want to be absent from my own life anymore
Watching our little stories pass by the big one
One day we came into the world
Since then we've been waiting for the world to come to us
So much the better if the road is long
We can take a few more detours
The future belongs to those who get up at the time I go to bed
The future belongs to those who get up at the time I go to bed
One day we came into the world
Since then we've been waiting for the world to come to us
So much the better if the road is long
We can take a few more detours
The future belongs to those who get up at the time I go to bed
The future belongs to those who get up at the time I go to bed
Where we come from
Far from everything
For tomorrow
Nothing changes
Where we come from
Far from everything
For tomorrow
Nothing changes
Where we come from
Far from everything
For tomorrow
Nothing changes
Where we come from
Far from everything
For tomorrow
Nothing changes
