L'héroïne de cette histoire [English translation]

The heroine of this story

Spilled the happy days

In the veins of stars(1)

The heroine of this story

Appeared white as snow to you

Through your black glasses

The heroine of this story

Was nothing but smoke and mirrors

To see nothing there but fire

{Chorus:}

Am-Stram-Gram

Pique and Pique(2)

One more gram

And I lose your soul

{Theme}

The problem in this story

Is that the stars don't shine brightly

When they lose the north

Some evenings they go so far

As to take themselves for another

This image in the mirror

Is nothing but the shadow of yourself

Smoke and mirrors

That hides me in the bottom of the shade...

{Chorus:}

Am-Stram-Gram

Pique and Pique

One more gram

And you trepan(3)

{Theme}

And the drama in this story

Is that you are shooting up(4) in the game

But what are you making of the two of us?

And the love in this story

This tear in my eye

I no longer see the bottom of the shade

{Chorus:}

Am-Stram-Gram

Pique and Pique

One more gram

And I lose your...

Am-Stram-Gram

Pique and Pique

One more gram

And I lose your soul

I lose your soul

I lose my friend
