These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Y a comme une odeur de craie ou de colle
It smells like chalk or glue
Comme un goût de vernis amer
Like a taste of bitter varnish
Quand je passe devant la grille de l'école
When I walk past the school gate
Où j'attendais le soir mon père
Where I waited in the evening my father
Y a des journées de ciel gris qui s'étirent sur un drap rose
There are days of grey skies stretching on a pink sheet
Y a des poupées qui s'ennuient jours et nuits et prennent la pause
There are dolls who get bored day and night and take the break
Y a beyoncé en poster, une bougie à la framboise
There's beyoncé in poster, a raspberry candle
Y a un clavier qui répète les mêmes phrases
There's a keyboard that repeats the same phrases
T'étais où toi, tous les soirs
You were where you were every night
Les week-end, les vacances
Weekends, holidays
T'étais où quand j'avais mes devoirs
You were where when I had my homework
Il est où ton mot d'absence
It is where your word of absence
Y a comme une écharde au fond de mon cœur
There's like a splitch in my heart
Comme une grosse écharpe qui me serre
Like a big scarf that hugs me
Quand je me revois assise en tailleur
When I see myself sitting in a suit
Faisant un dessin pour ma mère
Drawing for my mother
Y a des journées de ciel gris qui s'étirent sur un drap rose
There are days of grey skies stretching on a pink sheet
Y a des poupées qui s'ennuient jours et nuits et prennent la pause
There are dolls who get bored day and night and take the break
Y a beyoncé en poster, une bougie à la framboise
There's beyoncé in poster, a raspberry candle
Y a un clavier qui répète les mêmes phrases
There's a keyboard that repeats the same phrases
T'étais où toi, tous les soirs
You were where you were every night
Les week-end, les vacances
Weekends, holidays
T'étais où quand j'avais mes devoirs
You were where when I had my homework
Il est où ton mot d'absence
It is where your word of absence
