Translation of Idem from French to English
Oh my brothers who have abandoned me
I don't blame you, I'm in my corner all alone, I'm floating
Oh my sisters who have abandoned me
I don't blame you, I'm in my corner all alone, I'm floating
And I think it's the same
Alone on my couch, I wish you all the best
Leave the slander, because I fear the Divine
It was you who told me that people become bitter
Weird, they disguise themselves when time is counted in currency
I let you go ahead, leave me in Dublin
I'm rowing, it's been ten years, I don't need a full tank
"To each flower its season," that's what mom told me
I was weaving and aiming for the Moon without a rocket
We see the true faces when the light goes out
I was sure we were bonded with tin
It's at the foot of the wall that friendship fades
And that love dies
I think we understand each other, I won't draw a picture
Brother, you know we live in the nightmare of the Saints
Alone in my bed, my worries
My pillows support me, tinnitus
Oh my brothers who have abandoned me
I don't blame you, I'm in my corner all alone, I'm floating
Oh my sisters who have abandoned me
I don't blame you, I'm in my corner all alone, I'm floating
And I think it's the same
I'm far from being a scholar but, that, I knew
I often miss the wind, I hope to be saved
Blinded by money, we freak out, it's the crisis
Oh misery, music even breaks our millstones
If I run away, they'll call me a loser
It's only in the dirt that I know how to make money
One day, a brother told me, "Wake up, it's life
You're less to be pitied than those who sleep on the porch"
I live like a dead man, I hope to die like a man
I laugh less and less because I lost my partner
The damage of the business, it's my Leaning Tower of Pisa
And I isolate myself, frozen, I observe the shore better
They stare at me like a damn newcomer
You see two faces when the loot arrives
I have become wise
Because my blood, a midwife, a cord, a cradle
Oh my brothers who have abandoned me
I don't blame you, I'm in my corner all alone, I'm floating
Oh my sisters who have abandoned me
I don't blame you, I'm in my corner all alone, I'm floating
And I think it's the same
And I think it's the same
And I think it's the same
