À l'heure où je me couche [English translation]

[Chorus]

One day we came into the world

Since then we've been waiting for the world to come to us

It's only for the better that the route is long

We'll be able to take a few more detours

The future belongs to those who get up when I go to bed

The future belongs to those who get up when I go to bed

I am facing life like a blind man with a Walkman

Like an anomaly in their program

Your dreams are my nightmares

I will be twenty my whole life, nothing is ever too late

Even if I lose myself

Not sure things look better in the morning when you're out all night

Let me do what I do best

I will go on with my folly as long as they take me seriously

[Chorus]

One day we came into the world

Since then we've been waiting for the world to come to us

It's only for the better that the route is long

We'll be able to take a few more detours

The future belongs to those who get up when I go to bed

The future belongs to those who get up when I go to bed

Don't ask me what the future holds for us, I don't know

I haven't gone outside for a while

Down in the dumps

Living from hand to mouth as if tomorrow didn't exist

I'm done with gazing at the world from afar

I have to escape my town and its nooks

To know what tomorrow looks like

Nobody wishes me good luck

But I won't wait for ages wondering when it begins

[Chorus]

One day we came into the world

Since then we've been waiting for the world to come to us

It's only for the better that the route is long

We'll be able to take a few more detours

The future belongs to those who get up when I go to bed

The future belongs to those who get up when I go to bed

Like Monday morning's hangover

Wishing to turn around halfway

When your whole city city keeps saying you won't go anywhere

Like a sleepwalker on the edge of the ravine

Wishing to call for help, for somebody who would hold your hand

When the only thing you do is just to put it off until later

When I go to sleep, birds are singing

The neighbour goes to work while I fall asleep with bitterness and anxiety

Life is going by, I can't wait for it anymore

And what if I was imprisoned forever within my bedroom's walls?

There's nothing to understand when you've grown up in a diving-bell

You get up, faff around, killing boredom in a shopping arcade

I don't want to be missing from my own life anymore

Looking at our little stories missing the big one

[Chorus]

One day we came into the world

Since then we've been waiting for the world to come to us

It's only for the better that the route is long

We'll be able to take a few more detours

The future belongs to those who get up when I go to bed

The future belongs to those who get up when I go to bed

Where we come from, far from everything, for tomorrow, nothing changes

Where we come from, far from everything, for tomorrow, nothing changes

Where we come from, far from everything, for tomorrow, nothing changes

Where we come from, far from everything, for tomorrow, nothing changes
