Lyrics and translation Kent - D'un autre occident

D'un autre occident

Que faire dans cet avion
Qui remonte le temps, Vise l'horizon, Pointe le présent? Escale à Singapour
Pour un dernier doute.
L'espoir d'un détour
Qu'on perd en route.
On change de monde
En voyageant
Mais on ne change pas vraiment.
On change de monde, De continent, Mais on ne change pas vraiment.
Là-bas, on est si bien
Vêtu de si peu, Heureux pour un rien
Sans demander mieux.
Ici, dans un costume, Vouloir le pouvoir, Avoir l'amertume, Se décevoir.
On change de mode, De vêtements
Mais on ne change pas vraiment.
On change de mode, De sentiments
Mais on ne change pas vraiment, Mais on ne change pas vraiment, Non, on ne change pas vraiment
Et quand on change vraiment, On est d'un autre occident.

From Another West

What to do on this plane
That goes back in time, Aims at the horizon, Points to the present? Stopover in Singapore
For one last doubt.
The hope of a detour
That we lose along the way.
We change worlds
By traveling
But we don't really change.
We change worlds, Continents, But we don't really change.
Over there, we are so well
Dressed in so little, Happy for nothing
Without asking for better.
Here, in a suit, Wanting power, Having bitterness, Being disappointed.
We change fashion, Clothes
But we don't really change.
We change fashion, Feelings
But we don't really change, But we don't really change, No, we don't really change
And when we really change, We are from another west.
