Paranoia
(From the album "Moi le venin")

Unofficial translation of "Paranoia", a song written by Véronique Sanson
(produced with permission)

 

Like a bubble in the river,
Dragonfly in the light,
Suicidal tightrope walker,
Ridiculous and solitary.
I get high on the ephemera,
I get wrapped up in the universe,
I think I've been lucky,
To still be alive.

Ha Ha Paranoïa,
Ha Ha says the cicada,
Ha Ha go the jackals,
Ha Ha says my soul.

Like a bubble in the river,
A little fairy, a little witch,
Like a wire in the universe,
A comma in the dust,
I am still passed over by
the thunder and the lightning,
and I think I'm really lucky,
To still be alive.

Ha Ha Paranoïa,
Ha Ha says my pride,
Ha Ha says the lady,
Ha Ha says the cicada,
Ha Ha says the river,
Ha Ha says the light,
Ha Ha tightrope walker,
Ha Ha says the comma,
Ha Ha says the universe,
Ha Ha says the witch,
Ha Ha solitary,
Ha Ha says the dust.
