Lyrics and translation Jonathan Painchaud - Edge

Edge

Quand t'étais ado
Tu traînais ta jeune vie sur ton dos
T'avais des idées
Et tu crachais sur ceux
Qui osaient les juger

La parole coup d'poing
T'avais la rage de vivre
T'avais soif, t'avais faim
Que le combat se livre
Tu criais aux seniors
Tassez-vous les vieux vedges
J'vais faire brûler les planches
J'vais faire sauter l'décor
Vous montrer qu'j'ai du edge

Quand t'étais ado
Toujours une tension
À couper au couteau
Tellement en colère
Contre toi ou la vie contre l'univers

La parole coup d'poing
T'avais la rage de vivre
T'avais soif, t'avais faim
Que le combat se livre
Tu criais aux seniors
Tassez-vous les vieux vedges
J'vais faire brûler les planches
J'vais faire sauter l'décor
Vous montrer qu'j'ai du edge

Et puis t'as vieilli
On pourrait même croire
Que tu t'es assagi
Mais t'es bien le même
T'as juste enfin compris
Comment se joue la game

Maintenant, tu frappes de loin
Mais tu feintes et t'esquives
Comme ça, tu gagnes aux points
Quand le combat se livre
Et tu prouves aux juniors
Que t'es pas devenu vedge
Quand ils mordent les planches
Quand ils prennent le décor
Tu sais que t'as le edge
Tu sais que t'as le edge

Edge

When you were a teenager
You dragged your young life on your back
You had ideas
And you spat on those
Who dared to judge them

The punch line
You had a rage to live
You were thirsty, you were hungry
That the fight would be fought
You shouted to the seniors
Get out of the way, you old vegetables
I'm going to burn the boards
I'm going to blow up the decor
I'll show you I have edge

When you were a teenager
Always a tension
To be heartbreaking
So angry
Against yourself or life against the universe

The punch line
You had a rage to live
You were thirsty, you were hungry
That the fight would be fought
You shouted to the seniors
Get out of the way, you old vegetables
I'm going to burn the boards
I'm going to blow up the decor
I'll show you I have edge

Then you got old
You could even guess
That you've settled down
But you're the same
You just finally understood
How the game is played

Now you hit from afar
But you feint and dodge
Like that, you win on points
When the fight is fought
And you prove to the juniors
That you didn't become a vegetable
When they bite the planks
When they take the scenery
You know you have the edge
You know you have the edge
