These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Au sanglots dans le combiné je savais que c'était toi
Sobbing in the handset I knew it was you
Raconte-moi tes malheurs mais d'abord mouche-toi!
Tell me your misfortunes but first blow your blow!
Tu t'es fait plaquer par le nouvel homme de ta vie
You got dumped by the new man in your life
Pourtant tu le connais au moins depuis vendredi
Yet you know him at least since Friday
La dernière fois c'était un homme marié
Last time it was a married man
Qui devait divorcer t'avais pas le droit de l'appeler
Who had to divorce you had no right to call him
Il voulait faire les choses bien pour pas que sa femme souffre
He wanted to do things right so that his wife would not suffer
Il lui a fait un autre gosse pour sauver son couple et ses pantoufles
He made her another kid to save his couple and his slippers.
T'étais dans la passade du cap de la quarantaine
You were in the middle of your forties
Mais comme dit ton psy 'c'est 300 francs et à la semaine prochaine!'
But as your shrink says 'it's 300 francs and see you next week!'
Avec tes rêves de midinettes et ton cœur d'artichaut
With your dreams of midinettes and your artichoke heart
T'es une porcelaine dans un magasin d'éléphants
You're a china in an elephant shop
Y a pas forcément de prince charmant
There is not necessarily a prince charming
Derrière tous les crapauds!
Behind all the toads!
Le printemps dernier ton horoscope était formel
Last spring your horoscope was formal
T'allais rencontrer l'âme sœur y avait Mercure dans ton ciel
You were going to meet the soul mate there was Mercury in your sky
T'as aimé un capricorne ton signe complémentaire
You liked a Capricorn your complementary sign
Il était bisexuel les astres sont parfois tête en l'air
He was bisexual the stars are sometimes head in the air
Souviens-toi du connard la brute au grand cœur
Remember the asshole the big-hearted brute
Une enfance difficile sûrement battu par son père
A difficult childhood surely beaten by his father
Tu trouvais plein d'excuses à ce beau célibataire
You found plenty of excuses to this handsome bachelor
Quand il te collait une danse c'était un transfert
When he stuck you a dance it was a transfer
Passons sur le macho qui te donnait tout le temps des ordres
Let's move on to the macho who gave you orders all the time
Et l'écrivain qu'écrivait rien que tu trouvais génial
And the writer you wrote nothing you thought was great.
Celui qui vendait tes bijoux pour s'acheter sa poudre
The one who sold your jewelry to buy his powder
Et y a eu moi aussi mais c'est pas pareil
And there was me too but it's not the same
Enfin comme prévu t'es tombé raide dingue de ton psy
Finally as expected you fell stiff crazy about your shrink
C'était l'image du père un complexe œdipien enfoui
It was the image of the father a buried Oedipal complex
Il a gâché votre première nuit qui devait être la plus belle
He ruined your first night which was supposed to be the most beautiful
En débarquant dans la chambre vêtu de porte-jarretelles!
Arriving in the room dressed in garter belts!
Ça t'as fait un choc tu disais 'les hommes sont tous pourri!'
It shocked you you said 'men are all rotten!'
Mais comme dit ton psy 'prend le fouet il est sous le lit!'
But as your shrink says, 'take the whip he's under the bed!'
