These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
J'ai ressenti les premières atteintes du mal
I felt the first attacks of evil
Sous les sarcasmes de Marilou
Under Marilou's sarcasm
Mes oreilles après des mots comme 'Vieux con, pédale'
My ears after words like 'Old bastard, faggot'
Se changèrent en feuille de chou
Turned into cabbage leaves
Aux aurores, j'allais au café buraliste
At dawn, I went to the tobacconist café
Faire provision de fumigènes
Stock up on smoke bombs
Et je demandais au pompiste
And I asked the gas station attendant
Derrière le zinc, le plein de kérosène
Behind the zinc, plenty of kerosene
Puis, traînant mes baskets
Then, dragging my sneakers
Je m'allais enfermer dans les water-closets
I was going to lock myself in the water closets
Où là, je vomissais mon alcool et ma haine
Where there, I vomited my alcohol and my hatred
Titubant, je m'en revenais
Staggering, I came back
Et les petits enfants riaient
And the little children laughed
De mes oreilles en chou-fleur
Of my cauliflower ears
J'avais pris peu à peu la tronche d'un boxeur
I had gradually taken on the face of a boxer
