Tout Ça Me Tourmente Lyrics in English by Benjamin Biolay
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tout Ça Me Tourmente by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
J'ai même pas vu
I didn't even see
Que t'étais rien
That you were nothing
Que t'étais morte de chagrin
That you were dead from grief
Que t'étais seule comme un vieux chien
That you were alone like an old dog
Qu'tu faisais la gueule dans ton coin
That you were sulking in your corner
J'ai même pas vu
I didn't even see
Que t'étais mal
That you were unhappy
Que ta peau était pire que pâle
That your skin was worse than pale
Qu't'avais plus faim
That you were no longer hungry
Qu't'étais que dalle
That you were nothing at all
Que tu flottais dans le canal
That you were floating in the canal
J'ai même pas vu
I didn't even see
Qu't'étais diaphane
That you were diaphanous
Que t'étais comme une fleur qui fane
That you were like a flower that withers
Les yeux rivés dans les embruns
Your eyes fixed on the sea spray
Que tu serrais trop fort ma main
That you were squeezing my hand too hard
J'avais pas vu
I hadn't noticed
Qu't'avais des tresses
That you had braids
Je sentais même plus tes caresses
I no longer even felt your caresses
Toi dans la baignoire, tu te touchais dés la nuit noire
You in the bathtub, you were touching yourself from nightfall
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente un peu
All that torments me a little
La douleur m'éventre
The pain rips me open
La douleur m'éventre
The pain rips me open
Mais je ris dès que je peux
But I laugh whenever I can
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente un peu
All that torments me a little
Mais dès 20h30, oui dès 20h30
But from 8:30 PM, yes from 8:30 PM
J'ai pas le cœur, j'n'ai que ma queue
I don't have the heart, I only have my d*ck
J'ai même pas vu
I didn't even see
Que j'étais nul
That I was useless
Que j'étais plus que ridicule
That I was more than ridiculous
Que j'étais tout seul dans ma bulle
That I was all alone in my bubble
Crétin, crâneur, cassant, crédule
Idiot, show-off, dismissive, gullible
J'ai même pas vu
I didn't even see
Que t'étais brac
That you were messed up
Que t'étais comme une porte qui claque
That you were like a door that slams
Que ce soir là, sur le tarmac, tu voulais tant vider ton sac
That that night, on the tarmac, you wanted so much to unburden yourself
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente un peu
All that torments me a little
La douleur m'éventre
The pain rips me open
La douleur m'éventre
The pain rips me open
Mais je ris dès que je peux
But I laugh whenever I can
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente un peu
All that torments me a little
Mais dès 20h30, oui dès 20h30
But from 8:30 PM, yes from 8:30 PM
J'ai pas le cœur, j'n'ai que ma queue
I don't have the heart, I only have my d*ck
J'ai même pas vu
I didn't even see
Qu't'étais partie par le dernier des vols de nuit
That you left on the last of the night flights
Avec mes rires et les lambris
With my laughter and the wood paneling
Le ciel, ton cul et nos amis
The sky, your a** and our friends
Ça me tourmente aussi
That torments me too
Oui, tout ça me tourmente
Yes, all that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente un peu
All that torments me a little
La douleur m'éventre
The pain rips me open
La douleur m'éventre
The pain rips me open
Mais je ris dès que je peux
But I laugh whenever I can
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente un peu
All that torments me a little
Oui la mort me tente
Yes, death tempts me
Oui la mort me tente
Yes, death tempts me
Mais je vis faute de mieux
But I live for lack of anything better
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Mais dès 20h30, oui dès 20h30
But from 8:30 PM, yes from 8:30 PM
J'ai pas le cœur, j'n'ai que ma queue
I don't have the heart, I only have my d*ck
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
Tout ça me tourmente
All that torments me
