Simplified Ideal

Click to see the original lyrics (French)
We're a bunch of idiots, simplified ideal
With us, it's rock fantasy Summer Holiday
Bernard-Henri Lévy1 wasn't very useful to us
Trying to find specks of beauty2 on the motorways
Yeah!
 
We have an African tom-tom and English 'yaourt'3
To tell our Lady Di that we fancy her
All night long on a big beach
We're trying to outdo ourselves for beautiful girls
Who have nothing else to do
Like those dolls in gangster movies
We are great!
 
So we don't spend our lives dreaming of eucalyptus
Like all those captains Troy stuck on buses
We want the sea, the peninsulas, Ivanhoe on his horse
We're an ideal bunch of idiots
We go 'yeah yeah'
We're a bunch of yéyés4
 
{Chorus:}
Yéyé, it's beautiful
Darling darling please please don't go
Everybody, life's a joke
You need poetry that knocks you out
It's a sleeping pill {2x}
Oh darling come on
It's not very smart5, but it sounds so good
 
In the streets, in the cafés and the pubs, fish are sleepy
So we take out the guitars at Nicole's
You can't explain it, it's great, all this stuff that doesn't rhyme
It's like the sky seen through the pines
Yeah
 
So we don't spend our lives dreaming of eucalyptus
Like all those captains Troy stuck on buses
So we, April fools, send postcards
Signed: a bunch of ideal idiots
We go 'yeah yeah'
We're a bunch of yéyés
 
{Chorus}
 
But it sounds so good

  • 3. 'Chanter en yaourt' (to sing in yogurt) means singing English-sounding gibberish.
  • 4. Yé-yé was a counterculture that derived most of its inspiration from British and American rock and roll, and emerged in Western-Southern Europe in the early 1960s. The French term 'yé-yé' was derived from the English 'yeah! yeah!' often heard in rock and roll songs.
  • 5. Literally 'it doesn't pee very far'.

REBORN





Tears dissolve under the rain, wandering on the path of rebirth beyond the pain.
 

Can you hear cry your heart?
Let me hear cry your soul!
No pain! no gain! Don't fear.
 

Unable to look ahead, stopped and blocked by fake days, a facade of 'once more dice.'
 

Can you hear cry your heart?
Let me hear cry your soul!
No pain! no gain! Don't fear.
 

The reality soaked in the rotten rain is still a false breakdown.
This pain will eventually turn into a white future.
With a soul that needs no adornment, dye my heart and find me.
Livin' on the chaos.
 

Can you hear cry your heart?
Let me hear cry your soul!
No pain! no gain! Don't fear.
 

If you're afraid of the past and not seeking ahead, it won’t begin – a cloudy smile.
With this sorrow in my chest, toward the sky where light shines.
With a soul that knows no fear, open your eyes and find me.
 

Livin' on the chaos.
 

The rain wets my eyelids, showing the path ahead of pain as I walk the path of rebirth.

Mayfly





I think you were sometimes an egoist.
The smell of cigarettes and those words still linger in the classroom.
 

I can't throw away this dark past.
I can't throw away this terrifying present.
 

Why did you disappear?
That psychopathic smile of yours...
Why must the life of a mayfly be short?
Why did you disappear?
That psychopathic smile of yours...
 

You're always there in my memories and in my heart, I won't forget.
Even if my heart hurts,
Even if I feel the lessons,
I’m happy for the things you left behind.
 

Why did you disappear?
Why did you disappear?
 

The smell of cigarettes and those words still linger in the classroom.
Sleep peacefully, I’ll leave it to you.
I’ll carry your thoughts with me.

Still, I haven't given up. Is it the same for you?
 

I think the world is small.
 

No matter how dark the place is, I can hear the music. In the attic with my eyes closed, I feel you.
 

Hoo~
 

Can you sleep tonight? I want to see you.
 

A necklace shining around your neck.
 

The things you gave me.
 

Suddenly, I think like this: I like the air outside, swaying. Even though there's a different, opposite side of me, I feel hope.
 

Hoo~
 

I'll stay in my heart.

-045-





In front of the phone, I was searching for words
I just wanted to say one word, 'Congratulations'
The love that disappeared last year
Your birthday
 

Gently, 045
Just the area code
I dialed and placed the receiver
But no, tears started to overflow right away
 

A quiet dream, you told me about it
The café on the hill overlooking Marine Tower
The seasons slowly
Melt away like water
 

Gently, 045
I entwined my fingers and walked
The mirage-like hill
The foreign ships swaying in the blurred sea
 

Gently, 045
Someday, to you
I want to smile
And say thank you from the bottom of my heart
