Lyrics

J'ai du succes dans mes affaires
J'ai du succes dans mes amours
Je change souvent de secretaire

I'm doing well in my business
I'm doing well in my love affairs
I change secretary often
J'ai mon bureau en haut d'une tour
D'ou je vois la ville a l'envers
D'ou je controle mon univers

I have my office on top of a tower
From where I see the town upside down
From where I control my universe
J'passe la moitie d'ma vie en l'air
Entre New York et Singapour
Je voyage toujours en premiere

I spend half my life in the air
Between New York and Singapore
I always travel in first (class)
J'ai ma residence secondaire
Dans tous les Hilton de la terre
J'peux pas supporter la misere, , ,

I have my second home
In all the Hilton's on Earth
I can't accept misery
J'suis pas heureux mais j'en ai l'air
J'ai perdu le sens de l'humour
Depuis que j'ai le sens des affaires

I'm not happy, but I look like I am
I lost humour sense
Since I got the business sense
J'ai reussi et j'en suis fier
Au fond je n'ai qu'un seul regret
J'fais pas c'que j'aurais voulu faire, , ,

I succeeded and I'm proud of it
In fact I have only one regret
It's not what I wanted to do
J'aurais voulu etre un artiste
Pour pouvoir faire mon numero
Quand l'avion se pose sur la piste
A Rotterdam ou a Rio
J'aurais voulu etre un chanteur
Pour pouvoir crier qui je suis
J'aurais voulu etre un auteur
Pour pouvoir inventer ma vie

I wanted to be an artist
To be able to do my show
When the airplane touches the ground
In Rotterdam or Rio
I wanted to be a singer
To be able to shout who I am
I wanted to be an author
To be able to create my life
J'aurais voulu etre un acteur
Pour tous les jours changer de peau
Et pour pouvoir me trouver beau
Sur un grand ecran en couleurs

I wanted to be an actor
So every day I would change my skin
And to find myself beautifull
On a big color screen
J'aurais voulu etre un artiste
Pour pouvoir etre un anachiste
Et vivre comme, , , un millionnaire

I wanted to be an artist
To be able to be an anarchist
And live like a, , , millionaire
J'aurais voulu etre un artiste
Pour avoir le monde a refaire
Pour pouvoir dire pourquoi j'existe

I wanted to be an artiste
To have the world to do again
To be able to tell why I exist

Translation

I am successful in my business
I am successful in my love life.
I often change secretaries

I'm doing well in my business
I'm doing well in my love affairs
I change secretaries often
I have my office at the top of a tower
From where I see the city upside down
From where I control my universe

I have my office on top of a tower
From where I see the town upside down
From where I control my universe
I spend half my life in the air
Between New York and Singapore
I always travel first class.

Between New York and Singapore
I always travel in first (class)
I have my second home
In every Hilton on earth
I can't stand the misery, , ,

I have my second home
In all the Hilton's on Earth
I can't accept misery
I'm not happy, but I look like I am.
I've lost my sense of humor
Since I've had a head for business

Deep down, I only have one regret.

To change your skin every day
And so that I can find myself handsome
On a large color screen

On a big color screen
