La vie est ailleurs [English translation]

You're all tangled up, and you stay locked away

And your senses tell you that you want to leave

And their laughs echo, and evil grows

Because their rhymes follow you and become your routine

'Cause life is somewhere else

In a lyrical age

And your troubles run away

and your sorrows flee

'Cause life is somewhere else

And your love remains

For a smile, a dream

That there will be...

You're all tangled up and you stay locked away

Because your dreams tell you you're better that way

and inspires you with the world that you feared

For sentences of pleasures you'd rather avoid

You're all tangled up and you stay locked away

And your senses tell you that you want to leave

And their laughs echo, and evil grows

For their rhymes follow you and become your routine

'Cause life is somewhere else

In a lyrical age

And alone without prayers

You renounce and abdicate

'Cause life is somewhere else

In a lyrical age

And you keep your prayers

For magical thinking
