Ma fille s'est foutue en l'air
My daughter got screwed up
Et par terre, on l'a retrouvée
And on the ground, we found her
A-t-elle ouvert la fenêtre
Did she open the window
En fait pour chasser la fumée?
Actually to chase away smoke?
Cigarettes
Cigarettes
Pour témoins
For witnesses
Deux chats, un chien
Two cats, a dog
Un perroquet
A parrot
Mystère
Mystery
Peut être est-ce un accident
Maybe it's an accident
Vraiment bête
Really stupid
Qui sait?
Who knows?
Miel d'Istanbul, trèfle d'Irlande
Istanbul honey, Irish clover
Et porte bonheur du Japon
And lucky charm from Japan
Fleur de printemps tressée
Braided spring flower
Guirlande pour tes cheveux cendrés
Garland for your ashen hair
Tout plaqués sur ton visage blafard
All plastered on your pale face
Abimé, bien aimé
Damaged, beloved
Là, sur la rive des mortels
There, on the mortal shore
Enfant bénie, vide sidéral
Blessed child, sidereal void
À l'institut médico-légal
At the forensic institute
Ma fillette s'est balancée
My little girl swung
Sur le pavé, on l'a retrouvée
On the pavement, we found her
A-t-elle ouvert la fenêtre
Did she open the window
En fait pour chasser la fumée?
Actually to chase away smoke?
Cigarettes
Cigarettes
Dans son poing serré, un briquet
In his clenched fist, a lighter
Sans témoin
Without witness
Mystère
Mystery
Peut-être est-ce un accident
Maybe it's an accident
Vraiment bête
Really stupid
Qui sait?
Who knows?
