On m'a donné des yeux et l'on m'a dit regardes
They gave me eyes and they told me look
J'ai eu beau regarder je n'ai rien entrevu
No matter how much I looked, I saw nothing
On m'a donné un coeur et l'on m'a dit prends garde
They gave me a heart and they told me beware
J'ai eu beau prendre garde un jour je l'ai perdu
No matter how careful I was, one day I lost it
On m'a donné l'amour hélas je le regrette
I was given love, alas, I regret it
Car il s'en est allé depuis je n'y crois plus
Because he's gone since I don't believe in it anymore
On m'a donné un corps mais j'ai perdu la tête
I was given a body but I lost my mind
Et j'ai souillé mon corps dans des bras inconnus
And I stained my body in unknown arms
On m'a donné, on m'a donné
I was given, I was given
On m'a donné des rêves mais quelle imposture
I was given dreams but what a sham
Car ces rêves ne sont que de longs cauchemars
'Cause these dreams are just long nightmares
On m'a donné des lèvres afin qu'elles murmurent
I was given lips to whisper
Elles n'ont jamais dit que des mots sans espoir
They only ever said hopeless words
On m'a donné des larmes de joies de souffrances
I was given tears of joy of suffering
Je ne pleure jamais car mon coeur est de bois
I never cry because my heart is made of wood
On m'a donné aussi en plus une conscience
I was also given a conscience
Mais au fond de moi-même elle n'a plus de voix
But deep inside me she no longer has a voice
On m'a donné, on m'a donné
I was given, I was given
Pourquoi
For what
On m'a donné des livres afin que je lise
I was given books to read
Mais je les ai brûlé sans les avoir ouverts
But I burned them without having opened them
On m'a donné des mains pour les joindre à l'église
I was given hands to join in church
Mais qui sait si j'irai au ciel ou en enfer
But who knows if I'll go to heaven or hell
On m'a donné une âme à garder pure et blanche
I was given a soul to keep pure and white
Mais j'ai vendu mon âme au diable un beau matin
But I sold my soul to the devil one fine morning
On m'a donné la vie qui a pris sa revanche
I was given the life that took its revenge
Quand j'ai gâcher la vie que j'avais dans mes mains
When I wasted the life I had in my hands
Dieu m'est témoin on m'a donné
God is my witness I have been given
On m'a donné, en vain
They gave me, in vain
