Waf Lyrics in English Julien Doré , Simone & Jean-Marc

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Waf by Julien Doré from French to English.
Seems the Earth is flat
That dreams don't exist
That penguins adapt
Very well to the new climate
They tell you it's your fault
If everything's gone dark for you
But there's plenty of dead stars
That I see shining over there
la la, la la
Pour me some love in a glass of pastaga
la la, la la
We've gone over Verlaine and Kafka
la la, la la
Pour me some love in a glass of pastaga
la la, la la
We've gone over Verlaine and Kafka, la la
They say that nature
Would be much better without our laws
While we wait for the future
Peanuts and pastaga
la la, la la
Pour me some love in a glass of pastaga
la la, la la
We've gone over Verlaine and Kafka
la la, la la
Pour me some love in a glass of pastaga
la la, la la
We've gone over Verlaine and Kafka, la la
la la
la la
la la
la la, come on, let's lean on the stars
My heart is thirsty for Milky Way
la la, some ice cubes, some tears
People do it to forget
la la, come on, let's lean on the stars
Pour me some love in a glass of pastaga
la la, come on, let's lean on the stars
We've gone over Verlaine and Kafka
la la, come on, let's lean on the stars
Pour me some love in a glass of pastaga
la la, come on, let's lean on the stars
We've gone over Verlaine and Kafka, la la
la la

SONG MEANING

“Waf” is a playful cosmic toast to staying human when the news makes you feel like you have slipped into a surreal cartoon. Julien Doré looks at a world where people swear the Earth is flat, penguins are thriving in global warming and every problem is somehow your fault. Rather than mope, he reaches for a glass of pastaga (slang for pastis, a sunny Provençal drink) and invites you to lean on the bar of the night sky, elbow-to-elbow with the stars.

Between humorous chants of “là là,” the song slips in clever nods to heavyweight writers Verlaine and Kafka, hinting that philosophy and literature can only take you so far before you just need peanuts, ice cubes and a splash of love. “Waf” ultimately says: the universe is strange, so share a drink, sing nonsense syllables, and pour each other a little more affection under the Milky Way.
