Les Murs Porteurs
Florent Pagny
Load-Bearing Walls
Past the grandeur madness
The desire to play the great lords
Past the intoxication, past the ardor
When the fruits have no more flavor
Back from seven years of misfortune
From a painful childbirth
Tired of lying, of playing the actor
When one is no longer up to par
Remain the load-bearing walls
Friends made of concrete
A brother, a little sister
To see on the horizon
Remain the load-bearing walls
To hold the house
To overcome fears
Or conquer demons
Promises with hand on heart
Stronger than being the best
Lost in the crosshairs
Whether soldier or deserter
Candies engraved in the heart
Thousands of hours of flight on the counter
Beautiful speeches, smooth talkers
Whether in the dark or in error
Remain the load-bearing walls
Friends made of concrete
A brother or a big sister
To see on the horizon
Remain the load-bearing walls
To hold the house
To overcome fears
Or conquer demons
Playing tough, stuntmen
Colorful memories
The utopia of a better world
Of everything we've learned by heart
Remain the load-bearing walls
To shield from the wind
To endure
Facing the tremors
Remain the load-bearing walls
To shelter from the cold
To ward off misfortune
And find one's way
