Alain Souchon
Foule sentimentale
Oh la la la vie en rose
Oh the good life
Le rose qu'on nous propose
That they offer us
D'avoir les quantités d'choses
To have things in abundance
Qui donnent envie d'autre chose
Which makes you want even more
Aïe, on nous fait croire
Oh, they make us believe
Que le bonheur c'est d'avoir
That happiness is to have
De l'avoir plein nos armoires
Our wardrobes full
Dérisions de nous dérisoires car
It’s a mockery, because
Foule sentimentale
The sentimental crowd
On a soif d'idéal
They are thirsty for the ideal
Attirée par les étoiles, les voiles
Attracted by the stars, the sails
Que des choses pas commerciales
Than the mundane
Foule sentimentale
Sentimental crowd
Il faut voir comme on nous parle
We need to see it as they speak to us
Comme on nous parle
As they speak to us
Il se dégage
It comes easily to us
De ces cartons d'emballage
From these product wrappings
Des gens lavés, hors d'usage
From washed out, worn out people
Et tristes et sans aucun avantage
Sad types, with nothing going for them
On nous inflige
They inflict us
Des désirs qui nous affligent
With these desires that distress us
On nous prend faut pas déconner dès qu'on est né
Feed us rubbish from the day we are born
Pour des cons alors qu'on est
Fools that we are
Foule sentimentale
This sentimental crowd
On a soif d'idéal
They are thirsty for the ideal
Attirée par les étoiles, les voiles
Attracted by the stars, the sails
Que des choses pas commerciales
Than the mundane
Foule sentimentale
Sentimental crowd
Il faut voir comme on nous parle
We need to see it as they speak to us
Comme on nous parle
As they speak to us
On nous Claudia Schieffer
They give us Claudia Schiffer (famous model)
On nous Paul-Loup Sulitzer
They give us Paul-Loup Sulitzer (self-made millionaire)
Oh le mal qu'on peut nous faire
The the harm that they can do to us
Et qui ravagea la moukère
And which ravaged the harlot
Du ciel dévale
From the fallen sky
Un désir qui nous emballe
A desire that thrills us
Pour demain nos enfants pâles
For tomorrow our pale children
Un mieux, un rêve, un cheval
The best, a dream, a horse
Foule sentimentale
The sentimental crowd
On a soif d'idéal
They are thirsty for the ideal
Attirée par les étoiles, les voiles
Attracted by the stars, the sails
Que des choses pas commerciales
Than the mundane
Foule sentimentale
Sentimental crowd
Il faut voir comme on nous parle
We need to see it as they speak to us
Comme on nous parle
As they speak to us

One of the best french songs! Great to have a translation as (as a French) I wanted to share it with an Amercian friend who does not speak French. So very helpful, thank you!
You are very welcome!
Ce n'est pas facile a traduire!! haha

thank you very much for the translation of this great song..so far,your version is the most comprehensible one posted on the web.
I appreciate your feedback. I like the song too - I perform this from time to time at French language circles in the North of England.
Hi,
This is Pareli, I love Alain Souchon's song and I just wanted to know what "On nous prend faut pas déconner dès qu'on est né" means in English.
Cheers,
Pareli
The phrase is cut in two. That is why it make no sense unless you read the complete sentence as follows : « On nous prend pour des cons. » " People take us for fools. "
So, you should read it as such : « On nous prend ( faut pas déconner) ( dès qu'on est né ) pour des cons, alors qu'on est des foules sentimentales. Of course, the grammar stinks ... but of course this is a sort of poetry... in the midst of a song . « faut pas déconner » is a stand-alone phrase which means : " Come on ! Please do not take us for fools ! "
Thanks a lot for the translation

Решила войти в режим экономии, т.к. эпиляция в салоне стоит дорого и делать всё это дома сама. Долго читала в интернете инфу про воски и взяла в толк, что делать эпиляцию бикини горячим воском в домашних условиях невполне вероятно, очень сложно... Поэтому я решила купить себе воск в катриджах и воскоплав для него. Воск в катриджах подходит только для ног(( А мне бы всё-таки хотелось решить проблему с бикини.
ДЕВОЧКИ, что порекомендуете?? Кто-то пробовал делать сам?? Подскажите?

Surely the line beginning 'Du ciel' is followed by 'Des vagues' not 'Devale'? That would make for a better sense too.
