The lyrics both French and English below the video.



Se tiennent par la main
Et marchent en silence
Dans ces villes éteintes
Que le crachin balance
Ne sonnent que leurs pas
Pas à pas fredonnés
Ils marchent en silence
Les désespérés

Ils ont brûlé leurs ailes
Ils ont perdu leurs branches
Tellement naufragés
Que la mort paraît blanche
Ils reviennent d´amour
Ils se sont réveillés
Ils marchent en silence
Les désespérés

Et je sais leur chemin
Pour l´avoir cheminé
Déjà plus de cent fois
Cent fois plus qu´à moitié
Moins vieux ou plus meurtris
Ils vont le terminer
Ils marchent en silence
Les désespérés

Lente sous le pont
L´eau est douce et profonde
Voici la bonne hôtesse
Voici la fin du monde
Ils pleurent leurs prénoms
Comme de jeunes mariés
Et fondent en silence
Les désespérés

Que se lève celui
Qui leur lance la pierre
Ils ne sait de l´amour
Que le verbe "s´aimer"
Sur le pont n´est plus rien
Qu´une brume légère
Ça s´oublie en silence
Ceux qui ont espéré

They hold each other's hand
They walk without a sound
Down forgotten streets
Their shadows kiss the ground
Their footsteps sing a song
That's ended before it's begun
They walk without a sound
The desperate ones
Just like the tiptoe moth
They dance before the flame
They've burned their hearts so much
That death is just a game
And if love calls again
So foolishly they run
They run without a sound
The desperate ones
I know the road they're on
I've walked their crooked mile
A hundred times or more
I drank their cup of bile
They watch their dreams go down
Behind the setting sun
They walk without a sound
The desperate ones
And underneath the bridge
The waters sweet and deep
There is the journey's end
The land of endless sleep
They cry to us for help
We think it's all in fun
They cry without a sound
The desperate ones
Let he who threw the stone at them
Stand up and take a bow
He knows the verb to love
But he'll never know how
On the bridge of nevermore
They disappear one by one
Disappear without a sound
The desperate ones
