Stromae - Sommeil (English Translation) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can say it all you want
Under your crazy laughs and your air of grandeur
It’s not worth the trouble
You can lie to whoever you want
You smile too much to be happy
You make me sad
I love you all the same
I’m not one of your friends
Nor your boss, nor your colleagues
But you really take me for a fool
You think you put me to sleep
But even behind your mask
The bags under your eyes speak for themselves
[Chorus]
You are not tired
The cold, thirst, hunger, you have everything
But you don’t get sleep
Your mother, your wife, your daughter, us
But you don’t get sleep
Your house, your job, your money
But you don’t get sleep
Life, health, happiness
Admit that you don’t get sleep[Verse 2]
How about we go out for some fresh air
Instead of taking me for shit
Take my hand
Or else what are we here for?
Apart from partying
Man, I’ve done enough of that
We’ll see each other tomorrow
[Bridge]
And if I count, I will count for you
I will recount to you my stories
And I will count the sheep, for you
And if I count, I will count for you
I will recount to you my stories
And I will count the sheep, for you
[Chorus]
You are not tired
The cold, thirst, hunger, you have everything
But you don’t get sleep
Your mother, your wife, your daughter, us
But you don’t get sleep
Your house, your job, your money
But you don’t get sleep
Life, health, happiness
Admit that you don’t get sleep
You are not tired
The cold, thirst, hunger, you have everything
But you don’t get sleep
Your mother, your wife, your daughter, us
But you don’t get sleep
Your house, your job, your money
But you don’t get sleep
Life, health, happiness
Admit that you don’t get sleep
You are not tired
The cold, thirst, hunger, you have everything
But you don’t get sleep
Your mother, your wife, your daughter, us
But you don’t get sleep
Your house, your job, your money
But you don’t get sleep
Life, health, happiness
Admit that you don’t get sleep
