Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Poupée De Cire Poupée De Son by Jenifer from French to English.

I am a wax doll, a sound doll

My heart is engraved in my songs

Wax doll, sound doll

Am I better, am I worse

Than a parlor doll?

I see life in candy pink

Wax doll, sound doll

My records are a mirror

In which everyone can see me

I am everywhere at once

Shattered into a thousand shards of voice

Around me I hear the laughter of rag dolls

Those who dance to my songs

Wax doll, sound doll

They let themselves be seduced for a yes or a no

Love is not just in songs

Wax doll, sound doll

My records are a mirror

In which everyone can see me

I am everywhere at once

Shattered into a thousand shards of voice

Alone sometimes I sigh

I tell myself what's the point?

Singing love like this without reasons

Without knowing anything about boys

I am just a wax doll

Just a sound doll

Under the sun of my blonde hair

Wax doll, sound doll

I am just a wax doll

Just a sound doll

Under the sun of my blonde hair

Wax doll, sound doll

But one day I will live my songs

Wax doll, sound doll

Without fearing the warmth of boys

Wax doll, sound doll

She expresses a longing for genuine experiences beyond the superficiality of fame and the music industry, while also acknowledging the allure of love and the laughter of others around her.
