À perte de rue [English translation]

I pace back and forth and check a hundred time my pockets

Every added step that will get me afar gets me closer

The streets we walk hugging the walls, the people we cross

Carry us away, I launch myself and I cling back

Following the avenue that run along the parvis of a train station

Then to other streets that will end on a boulevard

It is a shortcut I go along with the sidewalk

Given rendez-vous nowhere

I'm going straight ahead straight ahead of me

Where to? I know that, I do not know

Following the motion, perpetually

Disappear the passers-by

As far as the street goes, I'm giving in

After dark when everyone else sleep

To the stranger, when midnight rings

I am no longer anyone

As far as the street goes, I'm whirling

The noise lasting from my steps resonates

Goes away without any purpose when midnight rings

I am no longer anyone

The iron curtains on shops are down

With neon light, lits up a hanged-stained logo

On the street lights a bit of faded light

The universe of a naked city

The first passers-by the first croissants getting ready

The day in white ready to put its suit

Some inhabitants, some birds, fifteen past five

The first metro leaving

I'm going straight ahead straight ahead of me

Where to? I know that, I do not know

Following the motion, perpetually

Disappear the passers-by

As far as the street goes, I'm giving in

After dark has come when everyone else sleep

To the stranger, when midnight rings

I am no longer anyone

As far as the street goes, I'm whirling

The noise lasting from my steps resonates

Goes away without any purpose when midnight rings

I am no longer anyone

As far as the street goes, I'm giving in

After dark has come when everyone else sleep

To the stranger, when midnight rings

I am no longer anyone
