Mais Pourtant

But Yet

Mais Pourtant

You do as your father tells youTu fais comme te dit ton père
And you have blinders on your eyesEt sur les yeux tu as des oeillères
You often sayTu dis souvent
Everything's fineTout baigne
Everything's fineTout baigne
But yetMais pourtant

You got me into troubleTu m'as mis dans des galères
Without even providing the teaspoonSans même fournir la petite cuillère
You often sayTu dis souvent
Everything's fineTout roule
Everything's fineTout roule
But yetMais pourtant

One eveningUn soir
You fall asleepTu t'endors
In the morning, when you open your eyesAu matin, quand tu ouvres les yeux
Around you, there's nothing but this emptiness that resembles you a littleAutour de toi, il n'y a rien que ce vide qui te ressemble un peu

You thought you had conqueredTu pensais avoir conquis
Business, love, lifeLes affaires, les amours, la vie
You often sayTu dis souvent
Knock on woodJe touche du bois
But yetMais pourtant

You wanted a pair of childrenTu voulais une paire d'enfants
The better to complain about it on the couchPour mieux t'en plaindre sur le divan
You often sayTu dis souvent
I'm crossing my fingersJe croise les doigts
But yetMais pourtant

One eveningUn soir
You fall asleepTu t'endors
In the morning, when you open your eyesAu matin, quand tu ouvres les yeux
Around you, there's nothing but this emptiness that resembles you a littleAutour de toi, il n'y a rien que ce vide qui te ressemble un peu
But yetMais pourtant
YetPourtant
YetPourtant
