Regarder la lumière [English translation]

I ducked my head

I took off my hat

Without acting like a star

Without living like a prince

Obviously

I'm going to pay for my recklessness

To look at the light

With one foot on Earth

And the other one in Heaven

To look at the light

To look at the light

For to implore my peers' mercy,

Thanks, but no

To look at the light

Suddenly emerging from a mystery

Just like a worm out of a fruit

Just like a shout into the night

I digged into the earth

Without acting like a hero

I heard the thunder

And after it, the echo

Obviously

I'm going to pay for those years of wandering

To look at the light

With one foot on Earth

And the other one in Heaven

To look at the light

For to implore my peers' mercy,

Thanks, but no

To look at the light

And the impious sun

While riding on the sea

On a gray grayhound

Called Blondie

To look at the light

And at the sun, too

To look at the light

In place of the father

With at the bottom of my eyes

The sky which I was promised a hundred time

The world,at my mercy

To look at the light
