C'est la fin de la ballade
It's the end of the ballad
Pour adorable ado
For an adorable teen
Seule face au Hasselblad
All alone in front of the Hasselblad
Fendue de bas en haut
Split from bottom to top
Inanimée, docile
Inanimate, docile
Façon petit soldat
Like a little soldier
Scrutée de long en large
Scrutinized from every angle
De trois-quarts, de profil
In three-quarters view, from the side
Factory girl
Sur le fil du miroir
On the edge of the mirror
Factory girl
Toutes les couleurs du noir
All the colors of black
C'est la plongée dans l'abîme
It's the dive into the abyss
D'un jeune oiseau de proie
Of a young bird of prey
Soumis aux lois du film
Subject to the laws of the film
Argentique qui décroit
Analog that fades away
Vu d'en haut c'est sublime
Seen from above, it's sublime
Non, rien ne vous déçoit
No, nothing disappoints you
La plongée dans l'abîme
The dive into the abyss
N'en a que plus d'éclat
Only shines brighter
Factory girl
Dernier drame, dernière scène
Last drama, last scene
Factory girl
C'est à peine de la peine
It's hardly any pain
Factory girl
On reprendra demain
We'll pick it up again tomorrow
Factory girl
Jusqu'à la fin des fins-fins
Until the end of all ends
Des fins-fins, des fins-fins, des fins-fins, des fins-fins
Of all ends, of all ends, of all ends, of all ends
Des fins-fins, des fins-fins, des fins-fins, des fins-fins
Of all ends, of all ends, of all ends, of all ends
Des fins-fins
From the deepest ends
