Tu demandais, hier
You asked yesterday
Mon avis sur le bonheur
My opinion on happiness
L'air de rien voilà que tu t'inquiètes
Looks like you are worrying
La paix te ferait donc peur
Peace would therefore scare you
Je l'attise, cet amour
I stir it, this love
Les brindilles volettent
The twigs steal
Tu n'y vois que du feu
You only see fire
C'est sa vie secrète
It's his secret life
Pourtant, pourtant, pourtant
However, however, however
Les mots sont, les mots font, les mots disent
The words are, the words do, the words say
Les mots coulent, les mots roulent sur un fil
Words flow, words roll on a thread
Moi, je laisse ces microbes, ces missiles
I leave these microbes, these missiles
Aux bavards, aux poètes si possible
To talkative, poets if possible
Comme je t'aime quand tu t'expliques
As I love you when you explain yourself
C'est drôle mais
It's funny but
J'ai rangé les modes et les recettes
I put down the modes and the recipes
Incendie la boîte, mon cœur
Fire the box, my heart
De ce petit sacrifice me reste
From this little sacrifice left me
Un vertige, une chaleur
Vertigo, heat
Je l'attise cet amour
I stir this love
Les brindilles volettent
The twigs steal
Tu n'y vois que du feu
You only see fire
C'est sa vie secrète
It's his secret life
Pourtant, pourtant, pourtant
However, however, however
Tu sais, tu me demandais hier
You know, you asked me yesterday
Ma vision du bonheur
My vision of happiness
Bien, chaque jour, elle est plus nette
Well, every day it is clearer
Il ne nous fera plus peur
He won't scare us anymore
Je l'attise cet amour
I stir this love
Les brindilles volettent
The twigs steal
Tu n'y vois que du feu
You only see fire
C'est sa vie secrète
It's his secret life
Pourtant, pourtant, pourtant
However, however, however
