Lyrics and translation The Residents - Would We Be Alive
If
we
could
see
clearly
Si
nous
pouvions
voir
clairement
What
we
were
beside
Ce
que
nous
étions
à
côté
de
If
there
was
no
desperation
S'il
n'y
avait
pas
de
désespoir
Would
we
be
alive?
Serions-nous
vivants ?
If
there
were
no
windows
S'il
n'y
avait
pas
de
fenêtres
That
we
sit
inside
Dans
lesquelles
nous
nous
asseyons
If
there
were
no
ugly
feelings
S'il
n'y
avait
pas
de
sentiments
laids
Would
we
be
alive?
Serions-nous
vivants ?
Help
us...
Help
us...
Help
us...
Ahhhh...
Aide-nous…
Aide-nous…
Aide-nous…
Ahhhh…
Would
you
make
me
helpless
Me
rendrais-tu
impuissant
Something
I
can
be
Quelque
chose
que
je
puisse
être
Longing
for
the
sight
of
something
Aspirant
à
la
vue
de
quelque
chose
That
I
cannot
see?
Que
je
ne
peux
pas
voir ?
I
be
helpless
on
the
ocean
Je
suis
impuissant
sur
l'océan
Looking
from
the
sea
Regardant
depuis
la
mer
Looking
in
the
drifting
wind
Regardant
dans
le
vent
qui
dérive
I
wish
that
I
could
be
Je
souhaite
que
je
puisse
être
Floating
near
a
liquid
Flottant
près
d'un
liquide
Nice
and
thick
and
warm
Agréable,
épais
et
chaud
Floating
where
there
is
no
pleasure
Flottant
là
où
il
n'y
a
pas
de
plaisir
And
there
is
no
harm
Et
il
n'y
a
pas
de
mal
Life
would
be
so
pleasant
La
vie
serait
tellement
agréable
If
we
all
could
be
Si
nous
pouvions
tous
être
Helpless
hopeless
creatures
Des
créatures
impuissantes
et
sans
espoir
Just
marching
to
the
sea.
Marchant
simplement
vers
la
mer.
Help
us...
Help
us...
Help
us...
Please...
Aide-nous…
Aide-nous…
Aide-nous…
S'il
te
plaît…
