Je souffre, je souffre quand j'pense à mon frère, à l'hôpital
I suffer, I suffer when I think about my brother, at the hospital
Au peu d'fois où j'me suis déter' pour le voir
The few times I got myself determined to see him
Aux gens qu'elle traite, comme si c'tait qu'un animal
The people she treats as if it were just an animal
J'm'en veux, j'm'en veux tellement d'écrire des chansons sur vous
I blame myself, I blame myself so much for writing songs about you
D'ouvrir mon cœur, jamais ici, entre nous
For opening my heart, never here, between us
Papa, maman, j'suis folle mais que voulez-vous
Dad, Mom, I'm crazy but what do you want
Quand j'tais p'tite, j'étais complèt'ment perchée, ouais
When I was little, I was completely spaced out, yeah
Que des gens tristes ou des adultes fâchés, ouais
Only sad people or angry adults, yeah
Le temps passe vite, le rester, ouais
Time passes quickly, to stay that way, yeah
Obligée, obligée
Forced, forced
La-la-la, depuis des années, déjà
La-la-la, for years, already
Je nous porte à bout de bras, et pourtant, regardez-moi
I carry us on my own, and yet, look at me
La-la-la, 'la p'tite dernière', comme ils disent
La-la-la, 'the youngest one', as they say
Devenue votre infirmière mais sans la force requise
Become your nurse but without the required strength
La-la-la, depuis des années, déjà
La-la-la, for years, already
J'nous tricote un peu de choix, au cas où ça n'irait pas
I create some options for us, in case things go wrong
La-la-la, 'la p'tite dernière', comme ils disent
La-la-la, 'the youngest one', as they say
Prie pour sa mère et son frère quand viennent les instants de crise
Prays for her mother and her brother when moments of crisis come
J'te prie, j'te prie, mais jamais assez pour ceux qui morflent
I beg you, I beg you, but never enough for those who suffer
Jamais plus que vous deux, d'puis premier divorce
Never more than you two, since the first divorce
J'dis 'premier' parce qu'on s'est pris plein d'autres passes, hun
I say 'first' because we've had plenty of other fights, hun
Pardon, pardon d'étaler mes pensées sur ce tel
Sorry, sorry for laying out my thoughts on this phone
Faut bien dire les choses telles qu'elles sont
You really have to say things as they are
Maman, Lou est un garçon
Mom, Lou is a boy
Quand j'tais p'tite, j'étais complèt'ment perchée, ouais
When I was little, I was completely spaced out, yeah
Que des gens tristes ou des adultes fâchés, ouais
Only sad people or angry adults, yeah
Le temps passe vite, le rester, ouais
Time passes quickly, to stay that way, yeah
Obligée, obligée
Forced, forced
La-la-la, depuis des années, déjà
La-la-la, for years, already
Je nous porte à bout de bras, et pourtant, regardez-moi
I carry us on my own, and yet, look at me
La-la-la, 'la p'tite dernière', comme ils disent
La-la-la, 'the youngest one', as they say
Devenue votre infirmière mais sans la force requise
Become your nurse but without the required strength
La-la-la, depuis des années, déjà
La-la-la, for years, already
J'nous tricote un peu de choix, au cas où ça n'irait pas
I create some options for us, in case things go wrong
La-la-la, 'la p'tite dernière', comme ils disent
La-la-la, 'the youngest one', as they say
Prie pour sa mère et son frère quand viennent les instants de crise
Prays for her mother and her brother when moments of crisis come
