lyrics
Diagonals
(aka Jazzy)
Souviens-toi des vacances
Vacances de la petite
Qui cherche ressemblance
¿ la Grande bourgeoisie
Par quelle diffÈrence
Peuvent-elles se distinguer?
Leurs tortures sans prudence
Ou des vies passionnÈes
Des vies de dÈpendance
Ou des gens tout petits
Retournent ‡ l'importance
De leurs vies Ètourdies
Un moment de vacance
Rien aprËs interdit
Moment d'indÈpendance
Et ce que c'est beau la vie!
Un moment de vacances
Oublier ses soucis
Embrasser l'abondance
Qu'a ‡ confier la vie
J'ai envi qu'on avance
Qu'on prenne de la distance
Les devisions m'ennuient
Et vive les harmonies! |
translation
Remember the vacation
Vacation of the petty
That seeks to resemble
The Great bourgeoisie
Through which difference
Can they be distinguished?
Their imprudent tortures
Or passionate lives
Lives of addiction
Or very small people
Return to the importance
Of their dizzy lives
A moment of vacation
Nothing after forbidden
Moment of independance
And how beautiful life is!
A moment of vacation
To forget your worries
To embrace the abundance
That life has to Confer
I want us to move on
That we take some distance
Divisions bore me
And hurray for Harmonies! |
