Les Râteaux Lyrics in English Bénabar
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Râteaux by Bénabar from French to English.
We've all been turned down
It toughens a seducer's hide
It can hurt bad, you know?
A pick-up guy's so fragile!!
'Hello'
Self-esteem gets dirty
Especially when the lion runs away
Chased by an antelope
That lops his head off with one swipe
'Got a cute name for that lovely lady?'
There's the heroic brush-off
You take in front of everyone
The brush-off that dots the i's
You're annoying now, that's enough
The so-called Alzheimer brush-off
It's the same girl as before
The jellyfish brush-off
Sorry for the pun
There's the heartbreaking brush-off
You really loved that girl
And the needless brush-off
Deep down, you didn't like her anymore
The brush-off that costs a knee
'Cause she doesn't give a damn about your ring
If she slaps you, hats off!
That's the cherry on the brush-off
To the young wolf who gives up
'Even monkeys fall from trees'
The old man wisely explains
'The hunter doesn't look at the mountain'
For twenty English girls who reject you
There'll be at least one who says 'Yes'
In a club, it gets extreme
When you get them on a conveyor belt
Everyone can plainly see
You're up for anything, starving
And then, it doesn't faze you anymore!!
There's the show-off brush-off
When the girl is a star
The anti-big-head brush-off
Because you're the star
The coming-out brush-off
Which is a brush-off like the others
The one we want to forget
That's often the first
The romantic's brush-off
He broods over it with music
The jerks' brush-off
With a buddy's wife
And the mistake brush-off
'Cause in fact, it was his sister
The repeated brush-off
When she says no, it's no
'The ladybug flies away'
'The snake stares at the frog'
'Slumped on the ground'
'The kite had no soul'
Must they, in front of their girlfriends
'You're lively, huh'
With vitriolic disdain
Rip the heart out of our chest
'Fancy a little restaurant later?'
Then run over it with a car?
When a kind smile
'shoot'
Would gently say
It's not worth us wasting time
'We could hit the movies, if you prefer'
We're nice, but go away
Back off now!!
There's the husband's brush-off
That's my wife, be nice
The hedgehog brush-off
It pricks but it's so cute
George Clooney's brush-off
If it existed, we'd know
As for the very last brush-off
Relax, it won't be soon
The gentleman's brush-off
Always polite with the ladies
The condescending brush-off
Come on! Who does she think she is?
The one you could've avoided
You just had to keep quiet
And the brush-off that inspires you
You'll turn it into a song at worst
'Well no, go. Don't leave'
'I'll call you'
'It was a nice fight, I think'
hoo hoo
'I'm not worried'
'She's not indifferent'
'Little glances that'
'Don't lie'
hoo
