Les paroles, and their approximate translation :
Celui-là passe toute la nuit This
one spends all the night
A regarder les étoiles to
look at the stars
En pensant qu'au bout du monde thinking
that at the end of the world
Il y a quelqu'un qui pense à lui there’s
somebody thinking of him
Et cette petite fille qui joue And this little girl who’s playing
Qui ne veut plus jamais sourire who doesn’t want to smile ever
Et qui voit son père partout and
who sees her father everywhere
Qui s'est construit un empire who
build for herself an empire
Où qu'ils aillent Wherever
they go
Ils sont tristes à la fête they
are sad at the party
Où qu'ils aillent Wherever
they go
Ils sont seuls dans leur tête they
are alone in their mind
Je veux chanter pour ceux I
want to sing for those
Qui sont loin de chez eux who
are away from home
Et qui ont dans leurs yeux and
who have got in their eyes
Quelque chose qui fait mal something
that hurts
Qui fait mal that
hurts
Je veux chanter pour ceux I
want to sing for those
Qu'on oublie peu à peu who
are gradually forgotten
Et qui gardent au fond d'eux and
who keep deep inside
Quelque chose qui fait mal something
that hurts
Qui fait mal that
hurts
Qui a volé leur histoire Who
has stolen their story
Qui a volé leur mémoire Who
has stolen their memory
Qui a piétiné leur vie Who
has trampled their lives
Comme on marche sur un miroir as
you walk on a mirror
Celui-là voudra des bombes This
one will want bombs
Celui-là comptera les jours This
one will count days
En alignant des bâtons by
aligning sticks
Comme les barreaux d'une prison like
the bars of a jail
Où qu'ils aillent Wherever
they go
Ils sont tristes à la fête they
are sad at the party
Où qu'ils aillent Wherever
they go
Ils sont seuls dans leur tête they
are alone in their mind
Je veux chanter pour ceux I
want to sing for those
Qui sont loin de chez eux who
are away from home
Et qui ont dans leurs yeux and
who have got in their eyes
Quelque chose qui fait mal something
that hurts
Qui fait mal that
hurts
Je veux chanter pour ceux I
want to sing for those
Qu'on oublie peu à peu who
are gradually forgotten
Et qui gardent au fond d'eux and
who keep deep inside
Quelque chose qui fait mal something
that hurts
Qui fait mal that
hurts
Quand je pense à eux When I think about them
Ça fait mal ça fait mal It hurts it hurts
Quand je pense à eux When I think about them
Ça fait mal ça fait mal It hurts it hurts

Note : Why do I suggest different albums for
different countries ? Well, strange as it may seems, there is sometimes a
HUGE difference of price for the same album in different countries (supposing it's available) ;
and what is a good bargain somewhere is a total rip-off elsewhere. So,
for each country, I usually look for the two or three albums that have
all (or most of) the "must have" songs, and then I compare the prices
and carefully weigh the pros and cons...
