Genius English Translations
Indochine - Un été français (English)
*A French summer*

Another day in my life
Where I do not want to stay in this place
Another Monday without life
Where I only experience the passing of time
Tuesday is the knotted stomach
To stay locked up and to walk in line
Wednesday I dream of another life
If the story could stop there to have the choice

When I'm surrounded
I dream of a French summer
A perfect summer
Where nothing can happen to me
Forgive me if
Everything becomes cold
An infernal country
To us, the little death

I am in the wrong place
Thursday and all the promises that
You made me
Like a Black Friday
Where I forgot everything and the role of my life
And I feel a little lonely
A little too old to die in winter
I would like a place in the sun
But everyone here still needs me
When I'm surrounded
I dream of a French summer
A perfect summer
Where nothing can happen to me
Forgive me if
Everything becomes cold
An infernal country
To us, the little death

Nights on a roof
Watching thunderstorms
And running the dangers
Lightning on your face
And stars near you
And our imperfect dreams
The time of a French summer
Where we would have forgotten everything

Nights on a roof
Watching thunderstorms
And the sky is waiting for us
And flying fish
And stars near you
(When I am surrounded ...)
And our imperfect dreams
(I dream of a French summer ...)
The time of a French summer
(From a perfect summer ...)
And our imperfect dreams
(Where nothing can happen to me)
