lyrics

LES PERDANTS/LES PERDANTES

Des gens tombent
des gratte-ciel des ponts,
des viaducs, des falaises
comme des poires trop mûres.
C’est pas l’asphalte, ni le choc
qui nous les a enlevé,
c’est un malaise
qu’on se fait tous subir.
On perd un concours
on cherche quelqu’un
pour écrire quelque chose
sur sa feuille de papier.
On rentre chez soi
sans nouvelles de personne
on va voir à la table
la feuille reste vierge...

(translation)
LES PERDANTS/LES PERDANTES (the losers): Some people fall from skyscrapers, bridges, overpasses, cliffs like over-ripe pears. It’s not the asphalt nor the shock which took them away, it’s a malaise we put each other through. You lose a contest, you look for someone to write something on your sheet of paper. You come home not having heard from anyone, you go to the table, the paper remains untouched.
