You didn't see your life like this
No briefcase when you were little
Your body locked up, silly suit
You didn't imagine, I know well
I too have dreamed dreams, oh well
You saw it big and it's
A very small life
You didn't see the story like this:
You were storm and black rock
But who broke your crystal ball
Broke your desires, made you ordinary?
You're ugly in a mustache, in ugly sandals
You're clumsy in imbalance
Little corporal of the shopping center
You didn't see it like this, bro
Gently your life knocked you out
You were eight years old when you saw yourself
And we all had that dream
First lace and first hat
It's not you who's there
It's not you who's beautiful
Binary drum and first clog
It's not you who's there
It's not you who's beautiful
Dancing Quimper or Landemau
It's not you who's there
It's not you who's beautiful
Blowing thunder in the reed
It's not you who's there
In the bagad of Lann Bihouë
You didn't see your life like this
Tapioca, soup and salsify
We're all the same, average, average
The great adventure, Tintin
I too have dreamed of bagpipes
Finished, now tell me what's
That amuses you?
You didn't see the story here
You would have done it at the end of the Loire
But who put you flat in this drawer
Like a swordfish in a bathtub?
You're ugly on weekends
Your kids who drag around, missed captain
Weekday boat of a strange fair
