Dis-moi un peu à quoi je sers Tell me, what’s my purpose? 00:11
Sur cette terre On this earth 00:13
Je me pose souvent la question I often ask myself 00:15
Car moi je ne sais rien faire ’Cause I really don’t know how to do much 00:20
Oh Sainte Mère Oh, Holy Mother 00:23
Est-ce une profession? Is it a profession? 00:25
Alors So, 00:28
Alors je danse et bricole So I dance and tinker 00:29
Deux, trois mots au bord de l'eau A few words by the water’s edge 00:31
D'accord Alright 00:33

Oh Sainte Mère Oh, Holy Mother 01:21
D'apprendre à me tromper To learn to make mistakes 01:23
Alors So, 01:26
Alors je prends le temps So I take my time 01:27
M'abandonne à ma dose de soleil Surrender to my dose of sunshine 01:29

[English] Tell me, what’s my purpose?
On this earth
I often ask myself
’Cause I really don’t know how to do much
Oh, Holy Mother
Is it a profession?
So,
So I dance and tinker
A few words by the water’s edge
Alright
And patch up a few minor flaws
Without knowing what’s real or fake
I add a bit of blues
A little soul
Two or three notes, a desire for happiness
A bit of soul
And I catch fire
For a life in all its colors
Just a little blues
A bit of soul
I hum my notes and my moods
You, my love
Who accompanies me
From city to city, heart to heart
I’ve never known how to walk straight
On this earth
I take winding paths
And often leave the choice
Oh, Holy Mother
To learn to make mistakes
So,
So I take my time
Surrender to my dose of sunshine
Alright
And fall asleep under the stars
On my life line, I watch over
I add a little blues
A little soul
Two or three notes, a desire for happiness
A bit of soul
And I catch fire
For a life in all its colors
Just a little blues
A bit of soul
I hum my notes and my moods
You, my love
Who accompanies me
From city to city, heart to heart
I don’t follow the rails
I linger on the details
If you want
I have my tricks and strings
Not an intellectual, really not handy
But I wish, I wish
Just a little blues
A little soul
Two or three notes, a desire for happiness
A bit of soul
And I catch fire
For a life in all its colors
I don’t follow the rails
I linger on the details
If you want
I have my tricks and strings
Not an intellectual, really not handy
But I wish, I wish
A little blues
And a bit of soul
Two or three notes, a desire for happiness
A bit of soul
And I catch fire
For a life in all its colors
I add some blues
Some soul
A little soul
And I catch fire
From city to city, heart to heart
And with you, yes, my love who’s by my side
For this life in all its colors
