Ohé ohé !
Quand tu parles à ta tête côtoies-tu dépression ?
Ohé ohé !
Quand tu parles à ton cœur côtoies-tu tes passions ?

L'altérité vit ici
Des millions d'années déjà
Tu nages dans ses pensées
Tel un poisson perdu en océan sans rive

Leurs sentiments s'accumulent
Au sanctuaire des esprits
On y travaille ses pensées
Trop conscient pour sourire, trop vivant pour se taire

Ohé ohé !
Quand tu parles à ta tête côtoies-tu dépression ?
Ohé ohé !
Quand tu parles à ton cœur côtoies-tu tes passions ?

(line by line English translation)

Hey, hey!
When you talk to your head, do you meet depression?
Hey, hey!
When you talk to your heart, do you encounter your passions?

Otherness lives here
For millions of years already
You swim in its thoughts
Like a fish lost in a shoreless ocean

Their feelings build up
In the sanctuary of spirits
There, they discuss their thoughts
Too aware to smile, too alive to be silent

Hey, hey!
When you talk to your head, do you meet depression?
Hey, hey!
When you talk to your heart, do you encounter your passions?

Umi no me wo mimashita (x2)
O hime ga irun desu yo
Umi no me wo mimashita
Sakana-onna ga irun da yo
Dou sureba iin desu ka

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
All around the sea I could see her
When you went out to fetch water
And then the princess mesmerized your eyes, your ears and even your heart
So you take a glance at the fancy fishes and want to be their friend

Umi no me wo mimashita
Yes mimashita yo

Note: these lyrics are inspired by Umi No Hime

(line by line English translation)

I looked at the sea in the eyes (x2)
There is a princess
I looked at the sea in the eyes
There is a fish woman
What should I do?

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
All around the sea I could see her
When you went out to fetch water
And then the princess mesmerized your eyes, your ears and even your heart
So you take a glance at the fancy fishes and want to be their friend

I looked at the sea in the eyes
Yes I did!

Quand on oublie de se rappeler
On se rappelle de ne pas oublier

Hier était aujourd'hui
Mais le chevalier du temps n'a su le ramener

Time will not come back
Where it went I don't know
Tic-tac's tick will not come back
The traces are visible

When we forget to remember
We remember not to forget

Time will not come back
Where it went I don't know
Tic-tac's tick will not come back
The traces are visible

Yesterday was today
But the knight of time failed to bring it back

Ganbatte kudasai tsuwamono
Ganbatte kudasai tsuyoimono

Since the kid drank the water in the forest
A lion comes to terrify the village

We are now used to hiding from its crazy claws
But tomorrow will lead to greatest yesterdays

Ganbatte kudasai tsuwamono
Ganbatte kudasai tsuyoimono

Note: referring to the one who accepted a challenge from the lion for the freedom of all
          ganbatte kudasai = keep it up, do your best, good luck
          tsuwamono        = warrior, brave
          tsuyoimono       = strong one
      the challenge could be a game of hide and seek, who runs the fastest, a real combat, …

Theme: le médaillon

Le médaillon doré était à courte distance
Mais nous avons suivi la lueur au bout du tunnel
Pourtant tout ce qui brille n'est pas de l'or, on m'a dit
Allons-nous regretter de ne point le retrouver, le médaillon ?

Note: songs are mainly supported by two rhythms
          one that shapes lyrics
          the other that shapes instrumental or background noise
      only the first of these rhythms applies in the current scenario

(line by line English translation)

I was looking for pride
Because I was poor
I asked the devils for help
They gave me the key to wealth

My life changed
I can easily buy luxury items
People called me boss

There is a price
Now the devil is chasing me
I'm scared, this is not what I signed for

The demons are coming
Where are the gods?
The demons are coming
Do me a favor please save me

Je suis dans la place
Alors tremblez !
Car j'ai un appétit insatiable
Mauvais à cache-cache, puisque je gagne toujours
Je vous grifferais tous un par un

Tu crois que tu me fais peur ?
Je suis champion de course
Tes petites pattes, j'en ai vu d'autres plus furax
Je relève le défi

Theme: sensationnel

Un de dribblé, deux de dribblés, trois de passés
Il avance vers la lucarne
Que va-t-il faire ?

Deux défenseurs se positionnent dans la distance
Prêts à l'empêcher d'avancer vers le gardien
Cette dernière ligne de rempart sera-t-elle efficace ?

Il glisse hélas mais se relève
Il pousse le ballon
A toute vitesse

Aucun support, sauf un coéquipier qui arrive dans son dos
Va-t-il temporiser ou se faire un chemin en force ?
Oh ! une frappe monstrueuse et chirurgicale

(the footballer scored the most incredible goal)

Note 1: all breathing sounds have been removed for better rhythm

Note 2: the adapted song is also known in English as "Carol of the Bells" or "The Little Swallow"

Chacun de nous vit en fonction de son savoir et sa conscience
Une constance de la vie

Sur la route de la philosophie je me suis aventuré
Des pensées j'y ai rencontrées

A la fontaine de la vérité coule l'eau de la solitude
Un peu salée, on ne s'y désaltère pas

Celui qui sait la souffrance d'autrui peut-il prétendre au bonheur ?
Mystère et boule de gomme, yeah

What's this feeling I have?
Just can't stop laughing out loud
Has my mind been taken over by the LOL genius?

Some say "plus on est de fous, plus on rit"
But I'm glad it doesn't mean that I'm mad

They say you made it blue even though it was green before
Did you do some kind of magic?
Cause this is known to be green

J'aimerais que l'on m'apprenne l'essence d'une telle prouesse
Ou est-ce une illusion qui a pris d'assaut mon esprit ?

Let me tell you the truth
C'était bleu à l'origine
All I did was clean it with water zenryoku de

C'est une douce expérience
Accrochée à ma mémoire (ou "Adossée à ma mémoire")
Des gens de tous genres
D'ici ou d'ailleurs
Y sont pour quelque chose

On se sépare maintenant
Après des années de route
Et l'on vient s'asseoir
Autour du repas
Tout le monde est là
Pour se dire au revoir

Quand mon départ se confirme
Quand mon départ s'entérine
Je vous remercie (ou bien "Je vous dis merci")
Où êtes vous
Lizzard et Luc
J'vous dis hasta la vista (ou "J'vous fais mes au revoir")
