Lyrics and translation
Original
J'voudrais pas qu'un soir on m'appelle, pour me dire qu'tu t'es fait la belle.
Parce que ta locomotive, s'est mangé le rail de trop.
J'voudrais pas qu'un soir on m'annonce, qu'on t'a retrouvée dans les ronces.
Parce qu'une substance intrusive, a enrayé ton galop. Vas-y, dis-moi, qu'est-ce qui te manque?
J'préfère que t'arrives braquée une banque, plutôt qu'te voir dans cet état.
T'as pas besoin, pas besoin de ça.
Laisse ces conneries aux traders, laisse ces conneries aux menteurs.
Vas-y, dis-moi, qu'est-ce qui te manque? Viens, on va voir où ça se planque.
J'voudrais qu'tu reviennes, j'voudrais qu'tu t'souviennes, j'voudrais qu'tu t'souviennes.
J'voudrais qu'tu redescendes, que vraiment tu m'entendes, que vraiment tu m'entendes.
J'voudrais qu'tu reviennes, j'voudrais qu'tu t'souviennes, j'voudrais qu'tu t'souviennes.
J'voudrais qu'tu redescendes, que vraiment tu m'entendes, que vraiment tu m'entendes.
J'voudrais pas qu'un soir on m'écrive, que trop de cachets sous les gencives, tu as fait ton dernier voyage, pour un sachet de mirage.
J'voudrais pas qu'un soir on m'engueule, que j'aurais dû sentir qu't'étais seule.
Et que malgré les secours, et que malgré tout l'amour, tu es restée coincée là-bas, au pays des merveilles ou pas.
Comme dans les beaux jours d'un escroc, tu t'es grillé le cerveau.
J'voudrais qu'tu reviennes, j'voudrais qu'tu t'souviennes, j'voudrais qu'tu t'souviennes.
J'voudrais qu'tu redescendes, que vraiment tu m'entendes, que vraiment tu m'entendes.
J'voudrais qu'tu reviennes, j'voudrais qu'tu t'souviennes, j'voudrais qu'tu t'souviennes.
J'voudrais qu'tu redescendes, que vraiment tu m'entendes, que vraiment tu m'entendes.
Oh, que tu t'souviennes de ton visage et que tu noies ici ces dépages, en rêvant de tout devenir, chanteuse, actrice, tous ces désirs, qui te prenaient la nuit, le jour, à oublier le manque d'amour, qui te prenait le jour, la nuit, parce que la vie appelle la vie.
Non, je n'te fais pas la morale, j'vais dire, je trouve même ça normal, de vouloir t'évader de tout, de t'envoler au bout du bout.
Mais doit bien y avoir une issue, une aventure au coin de la rue.
Me dis pas qu't'as plus rien de tout ça, j'suis sûre qu'c'est là, au fond de toi, j'le sens.
Oh, j'vais voir, j'vais voir.
J'voudrais qu'tu reviennes, j'voudrais qu'tu t'souviennes, j'voudrais qu'tu t'souviennes.
J'voudrais qu'tu redescendes, que vraiment tu m'entendes, que vraiment tu m'entendes.
English translation
I don't want someone to call me one evening to tell me that you've had a good time.
Because your locomotive ate too much rail.
I wouldn't want someone to tell me one evening that they found you in the brambles.
Because an intrusive substance stopped your gallop. Go ahead, tell me, what are you missing?
I'd rather see you robbed a bank than see you in this state.
You don't need, don't need that.
Leave the bullshit to the traders, leave the bullshit to the liars.
Go ahead, tell me, what are you missing? Come on, let's see where it's hiding.
I would like you to come back, I would like you to remember, I would like you to remember.
I would like you to come back down, to really hear me, to really hear me.
I would like you to come back, I would like you to remember, I would like you to remember.
I would like you to come back down, to really hear me, to really hear me.
I wouldn't want someone to write to me one evening, that too many pills under your gums, you made your last trip, for a sachet of mirage.
I wouldn't want someone to yell at me one evening, that I should have felt like you were alone.
And that despite the help, and despite all the love, you remained stuck there, in Wonderland or not.
Like in the heyday of a crook, you've fried your brain.
I would like you to come back, I would like you to remember, I would like you to remember.
I would like you to come back down, to really hear me, to really hear me.
I would like you to come back, I would like you to remember, I would like you to remember.
I would like you to come back down, to really hear me, to really hear me.
Oh, that you remember your face and that you drown here these pages, dreaming of becoming everything, singer, actress, all these desires, which took you at night, during the day, to forget the lack of love, which took you during the day, at night, because life calls to life.
No, I'm not lecturing you, I'm going to say, I even find it normal, to want to escape from everything, to fly away at the end.
But there must be a way out, an adventure around the corner.
Don't tell me you don't have any of that anymore, I'm sure it's there, deep down inside you, I feel it.
Oh, I'll see, I'll see.
I would like you to come back, I would like you to remember, I would like you to remember.
I would like you to come back down, to really hear me, to really hear me.
