Mademoiselle rit,
Miss laughs,
Mademoiselle pleure,
Miss cries,
Mademoiselle dit, qu'elle n'a aucun coeur,
Miss says she has no heart,
Mademoiselle crie,
Miss screams,
Mademoiselle dort quelques heures,
Miss sleeps for a few hours,
Mademoiselle a peur,
Miss is scared,
Mademoiselle vit,
Miss lives,
Mademoiselle danse,
Miss dances,
Mademoiselle brille, brille par mon absence,
Miss shines, shines in my absence,
Mademoiselle rit pour la rumeur ordinaire, la main sur le coeur,
Miss laughs at the ordinary rumor, her hand on her heart,
Dans, dans mon dos tu te répends en toutes occasions tout le temps,
In my back, you spread yourself on every occasion all the time,
Mais tu jures à qui l'entend, que j'adore le goût du sang,
But you swear to anyone who hears, that I adore the taste of blood,
Dans mon dos qui n'a plus d'ailes,
In my back that no longer has wings,
Qu'une nuit par les ruelles, je t'aurais siagnée a blanc,
That one night through the alleys, I would have you bleeding white,
Dans mon dos souffle le vent.
In my back, the wind blows.
Mademoiselle danse,
Miss dances,
Mademoiselle gueule,
Miss yells,
Mademoiselle pense qu'elle est bien la seule,
Miss thinks she's the only one,
Mademoiselle jouit,
Miss enjoys,
Mademoiselle sort, mais à l'interieur mademoiselle est morte,
Miss goes out, but inside, Miss is dead,
Mademoiselle crache,
Miss spits,
Mademoiselle frise,
Miss curls,
Mademoiselle ne lâche jamais sa prise,
Miss never loses her grip,
Mademoiselle rit pour la rumeur ordinaire la main sur le coeur,
Miss laughs at the ordinary whisper, hand over her heart,
Dans, dans mon dos claque le fouet,
Behind me, the whip snaps,
Mais ton crime est imparfait,
But your crime is flawed,
Tu n'éprouves aucune honte,
You don't feel any shame,
On me dit que tu racontes,
They tell me you're spreading tales,
Dans mon dos qui n'a plus d'ailes, que la nuit je suis cruel,
Behind my back, with no wings left, that at night I'm cruel,
Tes rafales ne sont pas à blanc,
Your bursts are not blank shots,
Dans mon dos coule mon sang...
Behind my back, my blood flows...
Dans mon dos...
Behind my back...
Dans, dans mon dos tu te cachais,
In, in my back you were hiding,
Quand la nuit sur toi tombait comme tombent tes sentences,
When the night fell on you like your sentences fall,
Tu m'arroses un peu d'essence,
You sprinkle me a bit with gasoline,
Et me pousses dans le vide dans mon dos mouillé d'acide,
And push me into the void with my back soaked in acid,
Tu as sali ma raison d'etre, et le nom de tes ancêtres.
You have tarnished my reason for being, and the name of your ancestors.
Dans mon dos, dans mon dos.
Behind my back, behind my back.
