Angela est une fille magique
Angela is a magical girl
Pour elle tout a l'air facile
For her, everything seems easy
Elle se fout de vos avis, car elle vit au jour le jour
She doesn't care about your opinions, 'cause she lives day by day
Dans son cœur il n'y a que les hommes, la fête et la sappe
In her heart, there's only men, the party, and style
Prend tout à la légère
She takes everything lightly
Et puis ne pense qu'à elle
And then only thinks of herself
Elle fume, fume, fume, fume, fume
She smokes, smokes, smokes, smokes, smokes
Pour oublier ses soucis
To forget her worries
Elle danse, danse, danse, danse
She dances, dances, dances, dances
Toute la nuit
All night long
Angela tu vas tomber
Angela, you're going to fall
Angela tu vas flancher
Angela, you're going to falter
Car si tu conti-continues
Because if you keep on keeping on
Du quartier tu seras la risée
You'll be the laughingstock of the neighborhood
Angela tu vas tomber
Angela, you're going to fall
Angela tu vas flancher
Angela, you're going to falter
Car si tu conti-continues
Because if you keep on keeping on
Du quartier tu seras la risée
You'll be the laughingstock of the neighborhood
Dans ses rêves, elle épouse le plus riche
In her dreams, she marries the richest
Qui succombe à ses plus gros caprices
Who succumbs to her biggest whims
C'est malheureux mais, pour elle elle atteint des sommets
It's unfortunate but, for her, she reaches new heights
À force de prouver et trop se montrer
By proving herself and showing too much
Elle se voile la face
She hides her face
À force de prouver, trop se montrer
By proving herself, showing too much
Son image se dégrade
Her image deteriorates
Elle fume, fume, fume, fume
She smokes, smokes, smokes, smokes
Pour oublier ses soucis
To forget her worries
Elle danse, danse, danse, danse
She dances, dances, dances, dances
Toute la nuit
All night long
Angela tu vas tomber
Angela, you're going to fall
Angela tu vas flancher
Angela, you’re going to break
Car si tu conti-continues
Because if you keep on,
Du quartier tu seras la risée
You’ll be the laughingstock of the neighborhood
Angela tu vas tomber
Angela, you're going to fall
Angela tu vas flancher
Angela, you’re going to break
Car si tu conti-continues
Because if you keep on,
Du quartier tu seras la risée
You’ll be the laughingstock of the neighborhood
Tu montres ce que tu n'es pas
You show what you are not
Tu montres un faux visage
You show a false face
Qui se salît avec le temps
That has tarnished over time
Solo tu finis sans emploi
Only you end up without a job
Tu pourras t'en prendre qu'à toi
You can only blame yourself
Oh Angela
Angela tu vas tomber
Angela, you are going to fall
Angela tu vas flancher
Angela, you are going to break
Car si tu conti-continues
Because if you keep, keep it up
Du quartier tu seras la risée
In the neighborhood, you'll be the joke
Angela tu vas tomber
Angela, you are going to fall
Angela tu vas flancher
Angela, you are going to break
Car si tu conti-continues
Because if you keep, keep it up
Du quartier tu seras la risée
In the neighborhood, you'll be the laughingstock
Angela yeah
Angela yeah, nan
Angela yeah, nah
Tu vas tomber
You're gonna fall
