Benjamin Biolay - La Superbe English translation lyrics

Your rating:

Pride

Thank God, we are always at the mercy
Of a conifer,
Of a new silence,
Of one hanky-panky,
The sun is sitting on the wrong side of the sea,
What an adventure, what an adventure...
Thank God, we are always at the mercy
Of a bus shelter,
Don't stay here, we can hear
The angelus ringing
The sun is lovely,
Sadder than the Gruss circus
What an adventure, what an adventure...

Thank God, we are always at the mercy
Of a spiral,
Of a glass of Campari,
Of the crew's goodwill,
Paris is so small when you swim back there
What an adventure, what an adventure...

Strolling around, smelling,
Smelling the unusual flame...
Winning, losing
Losing your winning hand, your pride...

Thank God, we are always at the mercy
Of filthy love,
Of a simple denial,
Of a bad life,
Of a bad patch
Silence is as oppressive
As an aircraft carrier passing by,
What an adventure, what an adventure...
Thank God, we are always at the mercy
Of a sacrifice,
Of a death on credit,
Of a prejudice arisen out of damage,
The sun is escaping,
As a soap suddenly slipping away,
What an adventure, what an adventure...

Strolling around, smelling,
Smelling the unusual flame...
Winning, losing
Losing your winning hand, your pride...

Thank God, we are always at the mercy
Of a sleeping pill,
Of the crumbling ceiling
You're watching when you're lying down,
The sun is gone,
The snow falling on the flagstones,
What an adventure, what an adventure...

Thank God, we are always at the mercy
Of a streetlight,
Of a dormant pain,
Of a winter night's chaste spleen,
The inimical old age
Remains the cornerstone
What an adventure, what an adventure...

Strolling around, smelling,
Smelling the unusual flame...
Winning, losing
Losing your winning hand, your pride...

Thank God, we are always at the mercy
Of a spark,
Somewhere in Paris,
At the far end of a hotel bar,
From the next life on
I dream for us to always be faithful,
What an adventure, what an adventure...

La Superbe

D'un silence inédit, d'une seule partie de jambes en l'air
Le soleil est assis du mauvais côté de la mer
Quelle aventure, quelle aventure !
On reste, Dieu merci, à la merci d'un abribus
Ne reste pas ici, on entend sonner l'angélus
Le soleil est jauni, plus triste que le cirque Grüss
Quelle aventure, quelle aventure !
On reste, Dieu merci, à la merci d'un engrenage
D'un verre de Campari, du bon vouloir de l'équipage
Paris est si petit quand on le regagne à la nage
Quelle aventure, quelle aventure !

On flâne, on flaire, on flaire la flamme singulière
On gagne, on perd, on perd la gagne, la superbe

On reste, Dieu merci, à la merci de l'amour crasse
D'un simple démenti, d'une mauvaise vie, d'une mauvaise passe
Le silence est aussi pesant qu'un porte-avion qui passe
Quelle aventure, quelle aventure !
On reste, Dieu merci, à la merci d'un sacrifice
D'une mort à crédit, d'un préjugé, d'un préjudice
Le soleil s'enfuit comme un savon, soudain, qui glisse
Quelle aventure, quelle aventure !

On flâne, on flaire, on flaire la flamme singulière
On gagne, on perd, on perd la gagne, la superbe

On reste, Dieu merci, à la merci d'un Nembutal
Du plafond décrépi qu'on observait à l'horizontale
Le soleil est parti, la neige tombe sur les dalles
Quelle aventure, quelle aventure !
On reste, Dieu merci, à la merci d'un lampadaire
D'une douleur endormie, d'un chasse-spleen un soir d'hiver
La vieillesse ennemie reste la seule pierre angulaire
Quelle aventure, quelle aventure !

On flâne, on flaire, on flaire la flamme familière
On gagne, on perd, on perd la gagne, la superbe, la superbe

On reste, Dieu merci, à la merci d'une étincelle
Quelque part à Paris, au fin fond du bar d'un hôtel
Dès la prochaine vie, jurer de se rester fidèles
Quelle aventure, quelle aventure !
La superbe, la superbe, la superbe, la superbe
Quelle aventure, quelle aventure !
