Blinded in the night

Click to see the original lyrics (French)

Blinded in the night by fatal flashes of light

just missing the cars, with pupils like pinheads.

I've waited a hundred years for you on black and white roads

you came whistling past

Blinded in the night by fatal flashes of light

kicking around tin cans, as clueless as a ship

if I've blown my mind, I love you and even worse

you came whistling past

Blinded in the night by fatal flashes of light.

will you love life or just watch it go by?

Our nights smoked, almost nothing's left

but your cinders in the morning

On this train filled with life's headaches

At the next station, young european

lay your hand out, sink it to the bottoms of my heart

Blinded in the night by fatal flashes of light.

one final lap, with the hand stretched out.

I've waited a hundred years for you on black and white roads

you came whistling past

Thanks! ❤

Hey :)

Nice translation, just some details:
'en sifflant' would be best translated by 'whistling'.

À ce métro rempli de vertiges de la vie: More something like 'On this train filled with life's headaches'.

lay your hand, bring it down my heart: '...down under my heart', maybe?
Also, the last line of the third verse differs from the previous ones.
