On est quoi, on est qui [English translation]

Full of pride,

I thought I was the master, or the old man1,

never moved, stupid like a

comic book hero.

But who are we, what are we?

Now we are crazy.

Now what do we think we are?

We have happiness at our fingertips,

and we are nothing as soon as it goes away.

And that day we are small,

so small. Who are we, what are we?

We don't know what to do with our life anymore.

We stand there like I do,

we make quite a fuss about it.

What are we, who are we?

That day, who are we, what are we?

I am but

at little man, an ant alive

and cursing Earth, Heavens and God

for not being happy anymore.

But who are we, what are we?

Now we are crazy.

Now what do we think we are?

You see, this extraordinary love

went up in smoke into the sky2

And here we are.

We are small, so small.

Who are we, what are we?

We don't know what to do with our life anymore.

We stand there like I do,

we make quite a fuss about it.

What are we, who are we?

That day, who are we, what are we?

(Who are we, what are we?)

Full of pride, I thought I was the master,

(But we are crazy)

(Now what do we think we are?)

(What are we, who are we?)

or the old man,

(But we are crazy)

(Now what do we think we are?)

never moved, stupid

(Yeah, you know, who are we, what are we?)

like a comic book hero.

(Now really, aren't we crazy?)

(Now what do we think we are?)

Now who are we, what are we?

1. could mean "the father", or "the old (wise) man" like in English2. sounds a bit redundant in French too
