I so love the beat of this song! And the video clip is original too!
Well, it's the pondering of the artist upon Man being materialistic and having done nothing worthwhile except destroying the world in which he lives.
The English translation is:
I am a Man - Zazie
I am a caveman
I am a monkey or a fish
On Earth in all seasons
I go round in circles, round in circles
I am only one, then millions
I am a Man with a brave heart
In wars, in all seasons
I go round in circles, round in circles
I am a Man with much ambition
Beautiful car and beautiiful house
In the bedroom, in the living room
I go round in circles, round in circles
I make love and the revolution
I have thought things over
I go forward, forward in backward
Yes, I go round in circles, round in circles
You see, I am only a Man
I am the King of Illusion
After all, why not forgive me?
I am the King, the King of fools
I build the world in my way
Strapped in gold and concrete
Body in cage and heart in jail
Yes, I go round in circles, round in circles
Sitting in front of my TV
I live in denial
Real commercial product
Yes, I have it coming, I have it coming
You see, I am only a Man
I am the King of Illusion
After all, why not forgive me?
I am the King, the King of fools
It's me the Master of Fire, the master of the Game
The master of the World, and see what I've done with it
Frozen earth, burned Earth
The earth of Man that men abandon...
I am a Man condemned to his last corner
Like an error of nature
On Earth, for no other reasons
I go round in circles, round in circles
(x2)
I am a Man and I measure
All the horror of my nature
For my sentence, my punishment
I go round in circles, round in circles
I go round in circles, round in circles...
It may sound crude in English but it's so much more beautiful in French. Zazie is known for writing beautiful, meaningful lyrics.
