Comme au cinéma [English translation]

White and black.

Exterior : night. Zoom in on the Jaguar.

Like in the movies.

Focus in on me.

We have told many stories

Between «The Young, Ambitious Man» and « The Cheetah. »

It was often enough to be banal

But it’s enough to do harm.

Close-ups form from blurred images.

The truth lies beneath.

What can one say

Of a man like me ?

People can say what they want.

I won’t change!

Some words could change the scenario

Like in the movies

Focus in on me…

Tight shots, ambiance music.

Sometimes the filming order gets messed up.

Neither the passé simple* nor the passé compliqué*.

I conjugate my life in the imperfect*

Under the spotlights

There’s a lack of warmth,

Too bad for the actors.

But, when I’m all alone, infront of the mirror -

Behind the words, behind the image

There is more of a star.

And all that happens within

It's also called a « sense of modesty.»

The best role of a man in the public eye,

Is to never be like his critiques.

As for me, I am like everyone.

I am not very sure of everything

But, I have some dreams for the future.

More spotlights, all in colors,

To make liars dream.

More spotlights

You cut the motor.

It’s too dangerous

For the heart.

I would simply like one day…

You come back finally to talk of love.

The cameras would stay in their place.

And we would break the ice between us.

Because if I love you, at the bottom of my American night*

It's not acting anymore

Focus in on you…

So, for you, for me…

We would give up the play-acting

And we would write ourselves a novel

For our whole lives.

Let’s go. Close your eyes.

And the screen of my closed eyelids

So, certainly you,

You will see something.

It's not acting anymore…

Focus in on you…
