Hey mate, it's Paris!

You get me?

P-A-R-I-S.

Paris!

Breathe the fresh air, but still watch out. Every day kids die from breathing a little too much. So be careful, and walk the streets, go at random!

At any corner on any street, you will encounter any type, who will offer you anything: diamonds, tiaras, so pure, but... but take them in your hands, and throw them to the ground, you'll see, they shatter like glass.

It's Paris

In Paris, nothing is the same. Everything has changed so much that it's no longer a city, just a grand trashcan.

The trashcan has been full for so long that there is no more room for our waste. It's Paris, and in Paris, there is nothing to do, just walk the streets, walk the streets during the day, and wait; wait until it gets a little warmer, until there's a little more day, until there's a little love

P-A-R-I-S.

Paris!

You do not know what to expect, but it doesn't matter because it wouldn't happen

It's Paris, 1984. A fine year!

Our parents? Our parents had Spain, but what is left for us, Lebanon? Ah... it's too hot over there!

Note that it's a bit cold here. And no radiator in the world can do anything about that.

It's cold in our heads.

It is not Tokyo, London, New York or Amsterdam, no. No! It's Paris. And in Paris, there is nothing to do.

Paris! City of our dreams...

The trashcan has been full for so long that there is no more room for our waste.

There is nothing left to do, just walk the streets. Walk the streets and wait until there's a little more day, until it gets a little warmer, until there's a little love.

Ah! City of my dreams, what will you do when you're alone, rotting, ruins everywhere?

Do you know how I write your name?

P-A-R-I-S.

Hey mate, mate how do you spell Paris?

Paris?

P-A-R-I-S.

No! no no no no! Paris is spelled S-H-I-T.

You know, you should find someone who'll fill your heart with love or sedative...

Finally, something.

Because you always arrive, by mistake, by chance, and too late.

And the trashcan has been full for so long that there is no more room for our waste.

It's Paris.

Paris! City of our dreams.

But in Paris, there is nothing to do, just walk the streets.

P-A-R-I-S.

ありがとう! ❤

Note that on a number of occasions I have written "you" where the pronoun was "on", because I feel it is used as an indefinite personal pronoun, like "one". But of course "one" would be far too formal.
