Douloureux Dedans Lyrics in English by Benjamin Biolay
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Douloureux Dedans by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
Comment as-tu pu ? Comment as-tu pu ?
How could you? How could you?
Comment as-tu pu par derrière ?
How could you... behind my back?
Comment l'ai-je su ? Comment l'ai-je su ?
How did I know? How did I know?
Comment l'ai-je su ? Les vipères
How did I know? The vipers
Comment as-tu cru ? Comment as-tu cru ?
How did you think? How did you think?
Comment as-tu cru me la faire ?
How did you think... you'd fool me?
Qu'avait-il de plus ? Qu'avait-il de plus ?
What more did he have? What more did he have?
Qu'avait-il de plus pour te plaire ?
What more did he have... to please you?
Comment as-tu pu ? Comment as-tu pu ?
How could you? How could you?
Comment as-tu pu par derrière ?
How could you... behind my back?
Ta jupe est fendue. Ta jupe est fendue
Your skirt is slit. Your skirt is slit
Ta jupe est fendue, tu as l'air
Your skirt is slit, you look
D'une fille des rues. D'une fille des rues
Like a street girl. Like a street girl
D'une fille des rues sans mystère
Like a street girl... without mystery
A cette heure indue, je sais, j'aurais dû
At this late hour, I know, I should've
Je sais, j'aurais dû me taire
I know, I should've kept quiet
Mais c'est douloureux dedans
But it's painful inside
C'est douloureux dedans
It's painful inside
C'est délicieux pourtant
It's delicious though
Je manque un peu de cran
I lack a bit of guts
C'est contagieux, le temps
It's contagious, time
C'est contagieux, le temps
It's contagious, time
Est-ce les mots crus ? Est-ce les mots crus ?
Is it the crude words? Is it the crude words?
Est-ce les mots crus le savoir-faire ?
Is it the crude words... the know-how?
Dis-moi si l'élu, dis-mois si l'élu
Tell me if the chosen one, tell me if the chosen one
Dis-moi si l'élu passera l'hiver
Tell me if the chosen one... will survive the winter
Ce qu'on fait n'est plus. Ce qu'on fait n'est plus
What we do is no more. What we do is no more
Ce qu'on fait n'est plus à faire
What we do is no longer... to be done
Je te suivrai plus, dans la neige écrue
I won't follow you anymore, in the raw snow
Dans la neige écrue en enfer car
In the raw snow... to hell... because
C'est douloureux dedans
It's painful inside
C'est douloureux dedans
It's painful inside
C'est délicieux pourtant
It's delicious though
C'est délicieux pourtant
It's delicious though
Je manque un peu de cran
I lack a bit of guts
C'est douloureux dedans
It's painful inside
J'ai les yeux pleins de sang
My eyes are full of blood
C'est contagieux, le temps
It's contagious, time
C'est contagieux, l'attente
It's contagious, the waiting
C'est douloureux dedans
It's painful inside
C'est douloureux dedans
It's painful inside
Mon amour est écœurant
My love is sickening
Je t'aimais mieux avant
I loved you better before
C'est douloureux dedans
It's painful inside
Va-t'en
Go away

Did you like this lyrics translation?
vipères — vipers
Vipères literally translates to "vipers", referring to venomous snakes. It's a striking and somewhat unusual word to find in song lyrics, making it memorable.
In the context of the song, the narrator uses "les vipères" metaphorically to describe how they found out about a betrayal. It suggests that the information came from malicious, gossiping, or deceitful people, much like the insidious nature of vipers. This vivid imagery adds a layer of intrigue and drama to the narrative.
