Le masque sur le mur [English translation]

He has sold everything, given everything

In the deserted house

You can hear the echo of his steps

Only one light is left on

Only one light...

There's also a mask on the wall

It gives you the creeps

It gives you the creeps

There's also a mask on the wall

It never says a word

It never says a word

No, it never says a word

It never says a word

He has sold everything, given everything

Just kept his necklace

That comes from India

The last page of his notebook

You can't read it, it's all crossed off

You can't read it...

There is also a mask on the wall

It gives you the creeps

It gives you the creeps

There's also a mask on the wall

It never says a word

It never says a word

No, it never says a word

It never says a word

When he went off

He didn't know, didn't know

That you never come back

You never come back..

He has given everything, sold everything

Only one photo is left hanging

With naked women and children

It's over there they met

It's over there they...

There's also a mask on the wall

It gives you the creeps

It gives you the creeps

There's also a mask on the wall

It never says a word

It never says a word

It will never say a word

It will never say a word

When he went off

He didn't know, didn't know

That you never come back

You never come back

You never come back

You never come back

You never come back..
