Lyrics & translation
Verse
Le soleil se lève sur la boue.
The sun rises over the mud.
Mes semelles m'abandonnent enfin.
My soles are finally giving up.
Donne-moi ta botte gauche usée.
Give me your worn-out left boot.
Je te donne mon talon qui flanche.
I give you my failing heel.
Chorus
Un talon et une botte nous mènent.
A heel and a boot lead us.
Demain n'est qu'une blague.
Tomorrow is just a joke.
La fête est dans nos yeux.
The party is in our eyes.
Verse
Le bureau t'attend lundi matin.
The office waits for you Monday morning.
Moi je retourne à mes vieux livres.
I'm going back to my old books.
On marche de travers, on s'en fout.
We're walking sideways, we don't care.
Nos vies sérieuses nous font bien rire.
Our serious lives make us laugh hard.
Chorus
Un talon et une botte nous mènent.
A heel and a boot lead us.
Demain n'est qu'une blague.
Tomorrow is just a joke.
La fête est dans nos yeux.
The party is in our eyes.
Bridge
Adieu la poussière et le bruit.
Goodbye to the dust and the noise.
Le monde est redevenu trop petit.
The world has become too small again.
Garde mon soulier comme un trésor.
Keep my shoe like a treasure.
On se reverra dans un autre décor.
We'll meet again in another setting.
Chorus
Un talon et une botte nous mènent.
A heel and a boot lead us.
La fête est dans nos yeux.
The party is in our eyes.
