lyrics

C’est tout petit It is so small
Ça veut dire loin That means far
Oui mais c’est grand But it’s so big
Quand tu t’approches When you come near

Les dimensions Dimensions
N’existent en rien Do not exist
Seules les distances Only distances
Nous accrochent Attract us

Au microscope Under the microscope
On voit très bien One can see well
Les sentiments All feelings
C’est dans la poche It’s in the bag

C’est tout petit It is so small
Ça veut dire loin That means far
Oui mais c’est grand But it’s so big
Quand tu t’approches When you come near

Si dans l’espace If you reach me
Tu me rejoins In deeper space
On aura le temps We shall have time
De faire des mioches To have kids

Au télescope Let's focus
Faisons le point With a telescope
Au firmament To the firmament
C’est la bamboche What a party

C’est tout petit It is so small
Ça veut dire loin That means far
Oui mais c’est grand But it’s so big
Quand tu t’approches When you come near
