Cœur en carton [English translation]
Cœur en carton [English translation]
The beats of the machine
Set my heart beating
The metronome is a factory
Guaranteed eternally
Without stopping and restarting
These perpetual movements
If work is health
I'll know to do without it
I put my heart in the cardboard
The love of assembly line work
Three little beeps and then they go away
Like the days of the week
I put my heart in the cardboard
The love of work to hatred
The nights passed in these messes
Where living is no longer worth the pain
Me, who am I on this earth?
And what is destiny's part"
Is it hunger or anger
That will take it to the end?
And to save my delusions
I plug my ears
Suddenly from the cardboard factory
I no longer hear the chains' noise
I put my heart in the cardboard
The love of assembly line work
Three little beeps and then it goes away
Like the days of the week
I put my heart in the cardboard
The love of lagging work
Three hundred people in unison
Guided by the sirens' song
I'm an automatic pilot
In a ridiculous decline
But the music's harmonies
Dispersed my distress
I feel like tearing up the armor
That has closed my heart
The music softened the walls
My discomforts are no longer only tricks
I put my heart in the cardboard
The love of assembly line work
Three little beeps and then they go away
Like the days of the week
I put my heart in the cardboard
The love of lagging work
Three hundred people in unison
Guided by the sirens' song
I put my heart in the cardboard...
Three little beeps and then they go away
I put my heart in the cardboard
The love of work to punishment
Screw the federation and the boss
And the bohemian life for me
Subterfuge is sometimes necessary
To pass the pill better
The melody is a refuge
Where all my fantasies abound
I send the cardboard flying
And kill these damn packages
My heart has left its prison
Here it is on vacation
I put my heart in the songs
The love of working onstage
Unite my soul to the tuning fork
I feel my song fill my veins
I put my heart in the songs
The love of assembly line work
Make the sky sometimes
You sang my tunes from the heart
I put my heart [x2]
I put my heart in the songs
The love of assembly line work
Make the sky sometimes
You sang my tunes from the heart
Make the sky sometimes
This song cures your pains
