These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Les gens te disent
People tell you
T'es trop gentil
You're too nice
T'es romantique
You're romantic
Tu comprends pas
You don't understand
Une fois qu'elle t'a
Once she has you
Elle te résiste
She resists you
Elle te méprise
She despises you
C'est l'potentat
He is the potentate
T'avais l'air trop passionné
You looked too passionate
Elle s'est jouée de toi
She played with you
Ce sera trop tard quand tu l'comprendras
It will be too late when you understand it
Elle te fait danser, ou-la-la
She makes you dance, or
J'le vois dans ses yeux mais t'aimes le danger
I see it in his eyes but you love danger
T'aurais dû savoir que t'étais ça
You should have known you were that
P'tite marionnette
Little Puppet
Mais rien qu'une p'tite marionnette
But nothing but a little puppet
T'es bon en si
You're good at si
T'es bon en ça
You're good at it
T'as peut-être une tête
Maybe you have a head
Qui t'rend comique
That makes you comical
C'est peut-être les rides sur ton visage
Maybe it's the wrinkles on your face
Qui t'donnent cet air mélancolique
That give you that melancholy air
T'avais l'air trop passionné
You looked too passionate
Elle s'est jouée de toi
She played with you
Au final, tu regretteras
In the end, you'll regret it
Elle te fait danser, ou-la-la
She makes you dance, or
J'le vois dans ses yeux mais t'aimes le danger
I see it in his eyes but you love danger
T'aurais dû savoir que t'étais sa
You should have known that you were his
P'tite marionnette
Little Puppet
Mais rien qu'une p'tite marionnette
But nothing but a little puppet
Quand elle danse, tu l'élances en rêvant de romance
When she dances, you launch her dreaming of romance
Mais ou-la, ouh
But wow, ooh
Quand elle dance t'y repenses en l'aimant sans réponse
When she dances you think about it loving her without response
Mais ou-la, ouh
But wow, ooh
Quand elle danse, tu l'élances en rêvant de romance
When she dances, you launch her dreaming of romance
Mais ou-la, ouh
But wow, ooh
Quand elle danse
When she dances
Elle te fait danser, ou-la-la
She makes you dance, or
J'le vois dans ses yeux mais t'aimes le danger
I see it in his eyes but you love danger
T'aurais dû savoir que t'étais sa
You should have known that you were his
P'tite marionnette
Little Puppet
Mais rien qu'une p'tite marionnette
But nothing but a little puppet
Une p'tite marionnette
A little puppet
Rien qu'une petite marionnette
Just a little puppet
Une p'tite marionnette
A little puppet
Rien qu'une p'tite marionnette
Nothing but a little puppet
