Yes, I am in my normal state
No, I'm not ashamed of my look
It's gel, I don't even have dirty hair
And when I thread pearls onto my goatee
It's to better remember
All the snakes I swallow
All my desires to cause chaos
That I restrain as best I can

Yes, I always want more
No, I don't know how to sing less loudly
Shouting is not a proof of courage
Unfortunately, I agree
I often waste my time
In useless rages
Wanting to be right instead
Of letting others be wrong

If you don't like Florent Pagny
I can understand you

Because myself
I admit that sometimes I want
To give myself a slap
Oh yes, a slap

Sorry but I feel wild
Even in the middle of comfort
If I move too much in my cage
It's because I hate bars, even in gold
And I prefer to flee
To limit the gap
Between what I have become
And what I would still like to be

I would like to boast of not being too stupid
See myself as a hero in the mirror
Admire myself without tilting my head
The look proud and straight ahead
But I drag behind me some pots and pans that I hate
Accepting that this burden is also part of the rest

If you don't like Florent Pagny
I can understand you
Because myself
I admit that sometimes I want
To give myself a slap

I can have a bad temper
Appear cowardly or pretentious
There are a hundred times better than me on Earth
But also a hundred times more awful
You can say bad things about me
I'm not afraid of exaggeration
I'm just an ordinary man
With light in my eyes

If you don't like Florent Pagny
I can understand you
Because myself
I admit that sometimes I want
To give myself a slap
Oh yes, a slap

I'm just an ordinary man
With light in my eyes
You know sometimes
It blinds a little
