Lyrics
Verse 1
Les rétro-fusées sont allumées
Vérification : tout va bien !
Attention, départ: dans dix secondes
Le compte à rebours est enclenché
Ça va gerber
Verse 2
Watching in a trance the crew is certain
Nothing left to chance all is working
Trying to relax up in the capsule
Send me up a drink jokes Major Tom
The count goes on
Pre-Chorus
Four, three, two, one!
Chorus
S'en aller de la Terre
Plus de pesanteur
Il y a dans l'univers des mondes meilleurs
Verse 3
La navette spatiale sillone l'espace
L'attraction terrestre est vaincue
Major Tom alors se pose des questions
Toutes ces experiences, dans le fond
A quoi bon ?
Verse 4
Back at Ground Control, there is a problem
Go to rockets full not responding
Hello, Major Tom, are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by
There's no reply
Pre-Chorus
Attention départ !
Chorus
Earth below us
Drifting falling
Floating weightless, coming home
Verse 5
Across the stratosphere, a final message
Give my wife my love then nothing more
Verse 6
Continuez sans nous, monde égoiste
Faites-vous la guerre nucléaire
Les petits hommes verts, c'est moins triste
Vision galactique, année zéro
Comme c'est beau
Chorus
Earth below us
Drifting falling
Floating weightless, coming home
S'en aller de la Terre
Plus de pesanteur
Il y a dans l'univers des mondes meilleurs
Earth below us
Drifting falling
Floating weightless, coming, coming home
