Comme le soleil commence à disparaître
Il éteint et jète sa clope par la fenêtre
Mégot parmi des tas, oh mégot délicieux
Tu t’écrases comme ça va de soi tant de projets nébuleux
Dans l’ombre d’un doute sa trentaine se fige
Mutant en déroute, statistiques qui l’affligent
Epouvantail à plein temps, en mal d’une arlésienne
Mais l’espoir court encore dans la plaine
Du vrai, du beau, du presque tout qui tiendrait chaud
Au corps, au décor, un truc pas loin, facile mais pas trop
Barnabé plane, s’élance, heureuse errance.
Tombé de haut il est las c’est logique
Des joies de l’auto-sabotage systématique
Bye bye l’adulescent qui se contente du hasard
Il a un doigt sur la détente, détournez les regards
Faut-il l’avouer allons-y parlons cru,
Il tripa sur la première wineuse venue
C’est pourtant pas compliqué, il veut le sexe et l’amour
D’accord c’est pas gagné mais un jour
Du vrai, du beau, du presque tout qui tiendrait chaud
Au corps, au décor, un truc pas loin, facile mais pas trop
Barnabé plane, s’élance, heureuse errance.
Heureuse errance l’inattendu rapplique
Il est entendu que sa cause est romantique
Ah la main dans la main c’est con certes mais fabuleux
Et Barnabé, regardez-le…il est amoureux !
Du vrai, du beau, du presque tout qui tiendrait chaud
Au corps, au décor, un truc pas loin, facile mais pas trop
Barnabé plane, s’élance, heureuse errance
Du beau, du presque tout qui tiendrait chaud
Au corps, au décor, un truc pas loin, facile mais pas trop
Barnabé plane, s’élance, heureux (x2)
Barnabé plane, s’élance, heureuse errance (x2)
Happy Wandering (Magali Ripoll)
As the sun begins to fade
He switches off and throws his cigarette out the window
Butt among heaps, oh delicious butt
You crush yourself as it goes without saying so many nebulous projects
In the shadow of a doubt his thirties freeze
Mutant in disarray, statistics that afflict him
Full-time scarecrow, in need of an Arlesian
But hope still runs in the plain
Real, beautiful, almost anything that would keep you warm
CHORUS
To the body, to the decor, something not far away, easy but not too much Barnabé hovers, soars, happy wandering.
Fallen from above, he's tired, it's logical
The joys of systematic self-sabotage
Bye bye the teenager who is content with chance He's got one finger on the trigger, look away
Do we have to admit it, let's talk about it raw,
He tripped on the first winemaker to come
It's not complicated, he wants sex and love
Ok it's not won but one day
Real, beautiful, almost anything that would keep you warm
CH
To the body, to the decor, something not far away, easy but not too much Barnabé hovers, soars, happy wandering.
Happy wandering the unexpected comes back
It is understood that his cause is romantic
Ah, hand in hand, it's stupid, but fabulous
And Barnabé, look at him...he's in love!
Barnabé hovers, soars, happy wandering Beautiful, almost anything that would keep you warm To the body, to the decor, something not far away, easy but not too much
Barnabé soars, soars, happy (twice) Barnabas hovers, soars, happy wandering (x2)
