Ça plane pour moi
Plastic Bertrand Lyrics

Wam! Bam! Mon chat, splatch
An energetic exclamation followed by the singer's cat lying on their bed with their tongue sticking out after drinking their whiskey, while the singer themselves are tired, empty, and possibly harassed, having slept outside where they had a moment of inspiration.

Quant à moi, peu dormi, vidé, brimé
Regarding the singer, they have not slept much, feel drained, and possibly mistreated.

J'ai dû dormir dans la gouttière, où j'ai eu un flash (hou-hou-oou-oou!)
The singer had to sleep in the gutter but experienced a sudden realization, accompanied by a sound effect.

En quatre couleurs

Un sparadrap, une gueule de bois

A bu ma bière dans un grand verre en caoutchouc (hou-hou-oou-oou!)

Comme un indien dans son igloo

Ça plane pour moi

Allez hop! La nana
Another 'hop' introduces the girl again.

T'occupe, t'inquiète, touche pas ma planète

Le pied dans l'plat
