Le clown - Bruno Pelletier

Le clown est fatigué de faire le clown ce soir

Et il en a assez de masquer son regard

Il en a trop fait rire des hommes et des enfants

Qui viennent l’applaudir pendant qu’il perd son sang

Ce soir, je ne joue plus la divine comédie

Ce soir, je suis tout nu au milieu de ma vie

Ce soir, le clown a peur d'être tout seul, il pleure

Ce soir, il redevient un homme et son chagrin

Ce soir, il est humain

Ce soir, devant vous il a peur

Il en a vu des villes, il en a fait des tours

Mais que lui reste-t-il d’amour après l’humour

La nuit est revenue, la foule est repartie

Et je reste tout nu au milieu de ma vie

Qu’importent les bravos, ils ne remplacent pas

Les gestes ni les mots que tu avais pour moi

Ce soir, le clown a peur d'être tout seul, il pleure

Ce soir, il redevient un homme et son destin

Ce soir, il est humain

Ce soir, devant vous il a peur

The clown is tired of clowning around tonight

And he's had enough of hiding his gaze

He made men and children laugh too much

Who come to applaud him while he loses his blood

Tonight I no longer play the divine comedy

Tonight I'm naked in the middle of my life

Tonight the clown is afraid to be alone, he cries

Tonight he becomes a man again and his grief

Tonight he's human

Tonight in front of you he is afraid

He's seen cities, he's been around

But what remains of love after humor

The night has returned, the crowd has left

And I stand naked in the middle of my life

What do bravos matter, they don't replace

The gestures nor the words you had for me

Tonight the clown is afraid to be alone, he cries

Tonight he becomes a man and his destiny again

Tonight he's human

Tonight in front of you he is afraid
