Images that come back
they are not invented you know
they mean something
I said to myself i won’t do
that but did something else instead
and did not even notice
(and maybe it was not any better)

Les images remontent
elles ne s’inventent pas
elles signifient quelque chose
on se disait je ne ferai pas cela
mais on fait autre chose
et on s’en aperçoit même pas
(peut-être mieux, peut-être pire)
Yet you thought
you had done well
at least as best as you could
but you were transporting in your suitcase,
kilos and kilos of past and
when about to get in the train the controller
watched you he said
« it’s worth nothing ».
Images, they come back
how good !
you were wondering
how much how much
how much it costs to transport it
on a daily basis
Pourtant tu croyais
avoir bien fait
du mieux que tu pouvais
(à tout le moins)
mais tu traînais
dans ta valise, des kilos de passé
et sur le point de monter
dans le train
le contrôleur t’a regardé
il a dit «ça ne vaut rien».
Les images remontent
ça tombe bien
tu te demandais combien
combien ça vaut de transporter
tout cela au quotidien
