Translation of Un peu comme toi et moi from French to English
They are sometimes so sad
With their ambitious faces
When everything is due to them right away
And if they're wrong, they insist
They are sometimes so stupid
Thinking they're right
Honking in traffic jams
For a yes, for a no
They have faces to cry
When they have to change a bit
A little thing to move
It makes them as nasty as they wish
They are sometimes so heavy
With their big speeches
As if, it was better before
In their mother's arms?
When I watch them parade, wanting to sanitize everything
Wanting to secure everything and complaining that they're bored
I tell myself we're not flying so high
That we're not much wiser
Than all these animals we're shooting down in passing
A little shaky, a little crazy
A little terrible, a little bit of everything
A little lost in this world
A little like you and me
Two lovers on a bench
And a few years later
In the middle of the children
We are far from the first glance
You have to see them listen to each other
Spread their bad faith
Debate who will win
While there's a fire below
You have to see them argue
For what's left of the money
Lie to each other, deceive each other to feel alive
You have to see them tear each other apart
Struggle painfully
With guilt that fits them like a glove
They surely have too much pride
To accept their little life
To finally mourn this damn success story
That has made them all dizzy, that has knocked them all down
All blows are allowed to win the war alone
A little shaky, a little crazy
A little terrible, a little bit of everything
A little lost in this world
A little like you and me
How pitiful they can be
Attached to their principles
With their immutable laws and their little political games
How stupid they can be
With their damn manners
That everything is well in their nets
Well squared, well clean, well clear
Both angel and demon, there are times, there is better
Where they are no longer what they are
Where love shines in their eyes
Where their hands squeeze a little
Where hearts are brave
Where they rise together, where everyone looks alike
A little shaky, a little crazy
A little terrible, a little bit of everything
A little lost in this world
A little like you and me
A little shaky, a little crazy
A little terrible, a little bit of everything
A little lost in this world
A little like you and me
A little like you and me
A little like you and me
