See where the flamboyance leads
And all the records exploded
We've dismissed the sirens
Who's going to get on the rocket?
White streaks in a sky
That we won't be able to replace
Let's take a seat in the gondola
Let's watch the rocket pass by

Speaking of worries, we knew
How many waves and regrets

Here at the edge of twilight
Emerging from a building or warehouse
Agitated bodies jostle
All around gaming tables
They question all possibilities
Cards blaze in their eyes
Watching others live
Sometimes takes away all words

Behind all this if we knew
How many waves and regrets

Nights of intention sleep
Can we not wake them up?
Can we give up the desire
To defend a great idea?
Higher up, planets worry
We've heard breathing there
Armageddon is late
But it shouldn't be long

If in the end, we counted
All the waves, all the regrets

But no, no tide
Thoughts without back and forth
No, no nausea
No doubt and no detours

Yet every day, it's a miracle
Dawn agrees to rise
So many reasons to do nothing
Just seeing us in action
May providential mists
Make us innocent
There are no human affairs
That do not give thanks beforehand

If at least, everything rested
Only on waves and regrets

But no, no tide
Thoughts without back and forth
No, no nausea
No doubt and no detours

No, no tide
No, no nausea

Speaking of worries, we knew
How many waves and regrets
