Un Grand Carnaval
Indochine
A Big Carnival
I'm just passing through
In a perfect world
A perfect world, so it seems
But what a big carnival
Creatures talking about everything
About everything but nothing -especially-
Oh! oh! oh!
They come back every year
And they're not very happy
Every time they pass by
The grass won't grow back
And yet at first sight
All is not lost
One step forward, mocking
Grimaces and threats
Hold on to me and me and me too
I don't understand anything anymore
Slogans, war paintings
But what a big carnival
Oh! oh! oh!
In the opposite space
We can't hear each other scream
And the utopia of informers
And the heads of little monkeys
My lover has a scarf
A scarf over the face
Ooh! ooh! ooh!
Ooh! ooh! ooh!
One step forward, mocking
Grimaces and threats
Hold on to me and me and me too
I don't understand anything anymore
Slogans, war paintings
But what a big carnival
A perfect world. Look at this world
It's a big carnival...
