Flipper - Téléphone translation in English

Flipper

On te donne trois balles, on te donne trois balles
On te donne trois balles, la première t′es un môme
Tu prends la cadence, tu entres dans la danse
Dans la violence des chocs, tu comprends ta chance
Tu sais maintenant comment, tu sais maintenant comment
Tu sais maintenant comment, ton histoire commence

On joue sa vie comme on joue au flipper
Déjà tout môme on flippe de bumper en bumper
On gagne, on perd et toujours on espère
Pouvoir s'en refaire une petite
Gratuite, gratuite, gratuite, gratuite

On te donne trois balles, on te donne trois balles
On te donne trois balles, la deuxième t′es un grand
Il faut te démerder, tu commences à ruser, hein
Tu cherches un abri et quand tu l'as trouvé
Tu te vois éjecté à vitesse grand V
Vers le bumper d'en face qui t′attend dans l′impasse
Vers le bumper d'en face qui t′attend dans l'impasse

On joue sa vie comme on joue au flipper
Déjà tout môme on flippe de bumper en bumper
On gagne, on perd et toujours on espère
Pouvoir s′en refaire une petite
Gratuite, gratuite, gratuite, gratuite

Attention au tilt
Attention au tilt, t'as perdu la boule mon gars
Non

On te donne trois balles, on te donne trois balles
On te donne trois balles, la troisième t′es un vieux
Vieux, vieux, vieux, vieux, vieux, vieux, trop vieux
Tu es très fatigué, tu veux te reposer
Tu branles la machine, tu courbes l'échine, l'échine
Le dernier bumper t′envoie dans l′dernier trou
Le dernier bumper t'envoie dans l′dernier trou

Sur ta tombe y a écrit
Sur ta tombe y a écrit
Sur ta tombe y a écrit
It's more fun to compete, it′s more fun to compete
It's more fun to compete, it′s more fun to compete
It's more fun to compete, it's more fun to compete
It′s more fun to compete, it′s more fun to compete

On joue sa vie comme on joue au flipper
Déjà tout môme on flippe de bumper en bumper
On gagne, on perd et toujours on espère
Pouvoir s'en refaire une petite
Je dis petite, oh non, non petite
Hein, gratuite, gratuite, gratuite, gratuite

Flipper

We give you three balls, we give you three balls
We give you three balls, the first you're a child
You take the rhythm, you enter the dance
In the violence of the shocks, you understand your luck
You know now how, you know now how
You know now how, your story begins

We play our lives like we play pinball
Already as a child, we freak out from bumper to bumper
We win, we lose and still we hope
To be able to afford a small one
Free, free, free, free

We give you three balls, we give you three balls
We give you three balls, the second you're an adult
You have to fend for yourself, you start to get cunning, huh?
You look for shelter and when you find it
You see yourself ejected at high speed
To the bumper opposite which awaits you in the dead end
To the bumper opposite which awaits you in the dead end

We play our lives like we play pinball
Already as a child, we freak out from bumper to bumper
We win, we lose and still we hope
To be able to afford a small one
Free, free, free, free

Beware of the tilt
Beware of the tilt, you've lost your mind, my friend
No

We give you three balls, we give you three balls
We give you three balls, the third you're an old man
Old, old, old, old, old, old, too old
You are very tired, you want to rest
You shake the machine, you bend your back, your back
The last bumper sends you into the last hole
The last bumper sends you into the last hole

On your tomb it is written
On your tomb it is written
On your tomb it is written
It's more fun to compete, it's more fun to compete
It's more fun to compete, it's more fun to compete
It's more fun to compete, it's more fun to compete
It's more fun to compete, it's more fun to compete

We play our lives like we play pinball
Already as a child, we freak out from bumper to bumper
We win, we lose and still we hope
To be able to afford a small one
I say small, oh no, not small
Hey, free, free, free, free
