Lyrics and translation Karpatt - Le cyclope




Le cyclope
The Cyclops
[Refrain]
[Chorus]
Le cyclope clope six clopes au sol assis
The Cyclops inhales six cigarettes on the ground
Je suis assez déçu que tu vois pas ceci
I'm quite disappointed that you don't see this
Tu sais si toi t′étais assis à siroter tu sifflerais aussi
If you were sitting here sipping, you'd be whistling too
C'est facétieux efface ainsi un peu
It's facetious, erases a little bit
Les sillons que je trace si difficilement
The wrinkles I etch with such difficulty
Car pas farcis je suis assis
Because, stuffed, I sit
Debout, debout, assis
Standing up, standing up, sitting down
Je vais pas passer ma vie
I won't spend my life
A simuler qu′ici
Pretending that here
Tout est sans soucis
Everything is carefree
[Refrain]
[Chorus]
Le moral c'est le pain qui se rassi
Morale is the bread that gets stale
S'il suffisait d′avoir envie d′avoir envie d'sortir d′ici
If it were enough to want to want to get out of here
Ca se saurait or sent le roussi
We'd know it, but we smell the burning
L'est si, l′est si mal enlogis
He's either very bad at expressing himself
L'est dans les rues, l′est civilisé
Or very civilized
S'imagine toi c'est dur ici
Imagine yourself, it's tough here
[Refrain]
[Chorus]
JE vis sur des ciments, je m′endurcis
I live on cement, I harden
Les regards n′sont pas si faciles à supporter
The looks aren't always easy to bear
Car mon amour-propre n'est pas sali
As my self-esteem isn't damaged
Minci, ma silhouette aminci
My figure has become thinner
Si je tends la main c′est pas que pour les sous
If I reach out, it's not just for money
C'est pour pas m′encamisoler
It's to keep myself from getting institutionalized
M'encamisoler, je manque à m′isoler
To get institutionalized, I need to be isolated
[Refrain]
[Chorus]
