Sur une nappe de restaurant [English translation]

On a restaurant napkin

I wrote this song

Thinking about all the people

Who only eat plankton

Obviously heh he it goes without saying

It goes without saying heh heh obviously

In my champion's car

I hummed this song

Thinking about all the pedestrians

Who don't have a few million

Obviously it goes without saying

It goes without saying obviously

And on holiday at the the coast

I wrote this song

For all those who shoulder to shoulder

Swim in a concrete tank

Obviously it goes without saying

It goes without saying obviously

On a restaurant napkin

I wrote this song

Thinking about all the people

Who only make a snack

Obviously it goes without saying

It goes without saying obviously

No I'm not an egotist

I am a man like you all

A little capitalist

Who's afraid of the others

Obviously it goes without saying

It goes without saying obviously
