hey! the street lights all burnt out
une année sans lumiere
je monte un cheval
qui porte des oeilleres
hey! my eyes are shooting sparks
la nuit, mes yeux t'eclairent
ne dis pas à ton père
qu'il porte des oeilleres
hey, your old man should know
if you see a shadow, there's something there

Thanks

hey! the street lights all burnt out
a year without light
im riding a horse
that wears blinkers
hey! my eyes are shooting sparks
at night, my eyes light you up
don't tell your dad
that he's wearing blinkers
hey, your old man should know
if you see a shadow, there's something there

blinkers = diminish a horse sight so that it only sees in front of him

hey! the street lights all burnt out
a year without light
I'm riding a horse
wearing blinders
hey! my eyes are shooting sparks
at night, my eyes light you up (brighten you? lighten you?)
don't tell your father
that he's wearing blinders
hey, your old man should know
if you see a shadow, there's something there

That songwriting seems a little cheesy in English... did it come off as being that way in French? I'm guessing not, so it could be more eloquently expressed, I guess?

Its pretty shitty either way....

Just wanted to add that French parts are sung with a very strong accent. I didn't even understand what they were saying at first. ;oP

The CD sounds pretty cheesy in both languages.
