Paris, Paris [English translation]

In the school of survival,

The less you cry, the less you laugh

The less you hit, the more you scream

If you keep this to yourself

Then you're not anyone anymore

And life catches up with you and runs away

Every evening, when the night falls

You neighbour plays "Louis, Louis"

You think about the words which were not said

You hate Paris, Paris

Every evening, when the night falls

When the crowd is young and pretty

When you're alone and misunderstood

In the streets of Paris, Paris

Paris, Paris

In the glass in which you're drowning

You see thousands of shards

Of jellyfish, of battles

You see millions of stars

Nothing looks abnormal to you

But it wears you out and you trick, sometimes

Every evening, when the night falls

You neighbour plays "Louis, Louis"

You think about the words which were not said

You hate Paris, Paris

Every evening, when the night falls

You pour yourself a Bloody Mary

You turn into your own look-alike

In the streets of Paris, Paris

Every evening, when the night falls

You neighbour plays "Louis, Louis"

You think about the words which were not said

You hate Paris, Paris
