Un jour, mon tour [English translation]

The city

The money

People go by

Obediently,

I wait, I wait

Some trains

Some stations

Too far away

Too late

Idlers

Partiers

Unlucky ones

No-goods

Average guys

End

good-for-nothing

I know

I very well know

One day, I don't know when,

still one day

one day it will be my day1,

my moment of luck, one day

This is no idle talk

I'll get everything, even a love

Another life

Not gifted

Not strong

Pigeon

dreamy

Smoking

burning

somewhere else

somewhere else

Mooring lines

cast off

brawls

I'm hit

good night

judged

judges

The good-for-nothing must have something

a gift, or so I think.

One day,

you don't believe me anymore, still one day

you'll see, it will be my day

My hour and my chance

One day, this is no idle talk

I'll even get a great love,

even more than endless

One day,

I'll make up stories

to draw the stares

and a lot of dollars.

Oh, me,

I want my share of light,

and just a bit less of winter

I've got nothing left to loose

Oh, to be boen, oh yes, to be born again one glorious day

That will stiffle your smirk all around

One day it will be my day.

One day,

you don't believe me anymore, still one day

you'll see, it will be my day

I want my share of light,

one day

my day
