Below, I translated the lyrics of the song CHAIR by Barbara Pravi from French to English.

8:27 AM

The blue sky almost makes the hospital look pretty

You're 26, almost 26 and a half

You're 17, almost 17 and a half

A huge lump in your heart

You cross the courtyard, hoping you won't run into anyone

That it won't last long

A pill, and that's it

The shame will pass

You're like the pierced child that the future will fill

But it's too soon for that

Barbara, are you sure? They explain life to you, and everyone around them gets agitated

And then there's this sentence they throw in your face

But you're just a whore, that's what happens, yeah

You're not protected and you might be sterile

You should have thought about it

Of course you thought about it

8:50 AM

You leave this room in a shambles

Full of guilt

(My flesh, my flesh.)

(My flesh, my flesh

Yet you don't really know, with zero confidence

You drink too many drinks to feel a little less

You show off, you act like you're not doing anything

But deep down, you see yourself the way they look at you

Worthless, without a future, without gentleness, without pleasure

And you think sex is linked to violence

You think the main thing is to keep up appearances

If you play well, it goes through

When you play well, everything goes through

You Run away so as not to listen to yourself

Not to understand yourself, not even to respect yourself

You cut your hair short, get stupid tattoos on yourself

The little defeats, the parties that get out of hand

And the tears in the dawn, what can you do about it?

(My flesh, my flesh

Almost

You're 26, almost 26 and a half

Now you feel ready, you hear yourself resonate

And then abandon yourself

Now you listen to yourself

You know you have the right to let yourself go

And to tell yourself I love you

To offer your skin lots of other memories

Love, respect, kiss, desire

To offer your skin lots of other memories

Love, respect, kiss, desire

Without knowing it, I was moving forward

I was moving forward towards my beloved flesh

Without knowing it, you will move forward

You will move forward towards this flesh, my darling

Now that we know, we move forward

Let's move forward towards our beloved flesh

Let's move forward towards our healed flesh

Let's move forward towards our flesh

(My flesh, my flesh

I was moving forward towards my beloved flesh

Without knowing it, you will move forward

You will move forward towards this flesh, my darling

Now that we know, we move forward

Let's move forward towards our beloved flesh

Let's move forward towards our healed flesh

Let's move forward towards our flesh

(My flesh, my flesh
