Dis 'sexe' je peux pas
Say 'sex' I can't
Dis 'ton sexe' arrête je peux pas je déteste
Say 'your sex' stop I can't I hate it
Pourquoi j'aime pas les mots comme ça
Why don't I like words like that?
Même sous la torture je les dirai pas
Even under torture I won't say them
Par exemple quoi, à part sexe fRUIT
For example what, apart from fruit sex
Quoi, tu peux pas dire fruit non
What, you can't say fruit no
Et banane, pêche sans problème
And banana, fishing without problem
Abricot peut-être
Apricot maybe
Et en anglais je peux pas c'est pire
And in English I can't, it's worse
Tu penses aux camionneurs
You think of truckers
J'en ai marre de faire l'autostoppeuse
I'm tired of being a hitchhiker
Il était à genoux devant moi
He was on his knees in front of me
Me voilà défroquée
Here I am defrocked
Et oui ça? Tu le voyais? Tu t'en souviens?
And yes that? Did you see him? Do you remember that?
Penelope's thread, faithful angus, want
Penelope's thread, faithful angus, want
Pour te dire quoi?
To tell you what?
C'est pas tes oignons, my mistake
It's none of your business, my mistake
Tu en as tué d'autres?
Did you kill others?
J'étais un monstre, un monstre
I was a monster, a monster
Comme j'aimais ça
How I loved it
And you, do you, will you, protect me?
And you, do you, will you, protect me?
J'étais en larme, j'esquive les coups
I was in tears, I dodged the blows
My mistake, je suis devenu un assassin
My mistake, I became an assassin
Tu t'en souviens?
Do you remember that?
Guts! Guts! C'est si bien quand
Guts! Guts! It's so good when
Même tous les trois ensemble
Even all three together
J'étais comme un pays africain qui se libère
I was like an African country liberating itself
Take care, muet trop tard pour la pitié
Take care, mute too late for pity
Trop tard pour parler too late
Too late to speak too late
Si tu n'm'aimes plus
If you don't love me anymore
Je ne m'aime plus non plus and you, do you?
I don't love myself anymore either and you, do you?
Les cadavres ils ne reviennent pas la
The corpses don't come back
Nuit pour te soulever les paupières?
Night to lift your eyelids?
Je peux pas, c'est pire! Comme je les hais
I can't, it's worse! How I hate them
Plus d'accord pour ne pas les voir
No longer agree to not see them
Pour ne plus t'entendre pleurer
To stop hearing you cry
Je veux pas, tu me regardes couler
I don't want to, you watch me sink
Le plaisir de faire mal! Je te hais!
The pleasure of hurting! I hate you!
Arrête je peux pas je déteste too late
Stop I can't I hate too late
Je ne touchais pas ses cheveux
I didn't touch her hair
Il me faisait rire used to be
He made me laugh used to be
Dors, tu m'emmerdes tu m'as tuée
Sleep, you're bothering me, you killed me
Reste, je te garderai my mistake
Stay, I will keep you my mistake
From the fear of growing old i'm on my way
From the fear of growing old I'm on my way
Oh do you?
Oh do you?
J'en ai marre de faire l'autostoppeuse
I'm tired of being a hitchhiker
