À contre sens [English translation]

So far, everything is going wrong.

People tried to help me, I saw them and I looked away.

I saw them and I looked away.

I didn't choose to join the round dance of the people who live their lives in a vagabond way.

Even if I fall too frequently, even if I sail countercurrent.

Joy as much as worry, that I suffer the hard way.

They said me : ''You will lay down your arms, the same I waved while you were waiting for my tears.''

In the opposite direction of a wind bringing back good news.

Feet on Earth, how to become a strong man ?

How to become a free boy ?

How to become the free spirit ?

Not so easy, I'm still searching for the happiness which seems to be exiled, my difference bothers them.

Even if I am out of breath, even if I take false starts.

No matter how tedious is the race, I'm led by the victory.

Don't wait me at the corner of your paths, I won't be there, that's how my destiny is.

In the opposite direction of a wind bringing back good news.

Feet on Earth, how to become a strong man ?

How to become a free boy ?

How to become the free spirit ?

I'm in the opposite direction, in front of these people and their affronts.

Against their ideas, against what they're thinking.
