Lyrics:

(French)

Mon chemin
Qui sait
ou serait
mon chemin
sinon ici?

chemin de fer
chemin de l'air
chemin de lumière
parfois d'éclairs
de nuit, de jour
toujours ces carrefours
putain de détours
encore je cours
je cours toujours.

Qui sait
ou serait
mon chemin
sinon ici?

de jour, de nuit
le chemin fleuri
fleurs d'esprit
fleurs de folie
on pleure, on rit

on pleure, on rit
le chaos s'élargit
il y a peu d'abri
c'est pas le paradis
ce chemin de ma vie

mais qui sait
ou serait
mon chemin
sinon ici?



(English)

who knows
where my
road would be,
if not here

iron road
road of earth
road of the air
road of light
sometimes lightning

by night by day
always these crossroads
fucking detours
still I'm running
always running

who knows
where my
road would be,
if not here

by day by night
the road blooms
flowers of spirit
flowers of madness
you cry, you laugh

you cry. you laugh
chaos expands
not much shelter...
it's no paradise
this road of my life

who knows
where my
road would be,
if not here
