We saw the horses of the sea
Which rushed head first
And who smashed their manes
In front of the casino ©sert
The barmaid was eighteen years old
And I, who am as old as winter
Instead of drowning in a drink
I wandered around spring
From her almond-shaped eyes
Neither gray nor green, neither gray nor green
Like Ostend and like everywhere
When the city falls the rain
And we wonder if it's useful
And then above all if it's worth it
If it's worth living your life
I left towards my destiny
But there is only a smell of beer
Of fries and mussels marinières
Lures me into an estaminet
There were guys drinking
Funny people, redheads
Who were laughing and talking loudly
And the biÃÂ ¨er we served it to you
Long before we asked for more
Yes it was raining, yes it was raining
Like Ostend and like everywhere
When the rain falls on the city
And we wonder if it's useful
And then above all if it's worth it
If it is is worth living your life
We went, arm in arm
To the neighborhood where there are shop windows
Filled with happy presences ©minines
That we want to pay each other when we are drunk
But here at the end of the street
A limonaire arrived
With a old tune of thunder
To make you cry so much and more
So much so that all the guys in the band
Got lost, got lost
Like Ostend and like everywhere
When the rain falls on the city
And we wonder if it's useful
And then above all if it's worth it
If à §It's worth living your life
