Petit poisson [English translation]

[intro]

One day you must leave the world

One rumbling day, you’ll run there, you’ll go there

One day you must run around this world***

The world is large, it believes in you.****

[chorus]

Even in the sea the rain makes splashes

Hours spent swimming, and I choke myself

Even in the sea my voice resonates

Whenever I hum (hey hey)

Even in the sea the rain makes splashes

Hours spent swimming, and I choke myself

Even in the ocean my voice resonates

Whenever I hum

[verse 1]

This is the shipwreck of a little fish

The little child becomes a wicked boy

One day you’re born, you don’t know when you’ll die

I never wanted to grow up like this

In the ocean I feel small

If the water is big, my life is gray

Naps*, job, subway, Paris

But too many teens leave far too early

Up there it’s big, why not [stay] here?

Be neither too embarrassing nor too kind.

The bags of marbles in pockets, then the criticisms, divorce,

The deaths of those close to you

The Carol of the Bells which still tingles in my memory, arguments have sunk their fateful hooks into so many stories.

The angry speeches of overly-drunk men in the evening

Who invent under venom illusory memories

The fear of emptiness, the fear of failure and the fear of having fear

My reflection in the puddles and the hands which I plunge into them.

[chorus]

Even in the sea the rain makes splashes

Hours spent swimming, and I choke myself

Even in the sea my voice resonates

Whenever I hum

Even in the sea the rain makes splashes

Hours spent swimming, and I choke myself

Even in the sea my voice resonates

Whenever I hum

[bridge]

If I don’t have friends, I’ll stay here without all the gatherings, without all the gatherings, without all the gatherings

If I don’t have an opinion, I’ll mess up my life, and all of it’s gatherings, and all of it’s gatherings, why not after all.

[outro]

If I don’t have friends**,I’ll stay here without all the gatherings, without all the gatherings, without all the gatherings.

If I don’t have opinions, I’ll mess up my life, and all it’s gatherings, and all it’s gatherings, why not after all.
