Chris
Je me fais la nique
I'm playing tricks on myself
Les mains dans le blouson
Hands in the jacket
Tout mon corps me pique
My whole body tingles
C'est la salaison
It's the curing process
Quand ils loadent leurs bras
When they load their arms
Elles rient de bonté
They laugh with kindness
Tic tic et tac, ça semble écrit sur le papier
Tick tick and tock, it seems written on the paper
Ma tristesse infectera ma mâchoire
My sadness will infect my jaw
Plus je convoite et moins je suis belle à voir
The more I desire, the less beautiful I appear.
C'est comme un merle, la fille que tu crois retenir
She's like a blackbird, the girl you think you can hold on to
Tape, tape, t'appuies au hasard pour la faire jouir
Tap, tap, you press at random to make her feel good
Que faire
What to do
De l'énergie que j'perds
With the energy that I'm losing
Quand j'te veux
When I want you
Damn, dis-moi comment mieux
Damn, tell me how to do better
Que faire
What to do
De l'énergie que j'perds
With the energy that I'm losing
Quand j'te veux
When I want you
Damn, dis-moi comment mieux
Damn, tell me how to do better
(Touché, touché yeah)
(Touched, touched yeah)
Je suis allée noyer ma fame puisque c'est elle qui t'a plu
I went to drown my fame since it's her who caught your eye
Un billet pour Stella qui sucera mes amours déçus
A ticket for Stella who will suck on my disappointed loves
Dans le noyau des villes, ils m'interpellent depuis leur quechu'
In the core of the cities, they call out to me from their quechu'
T'es-t'es-t'es qui? De la monnaie, pas des vendus
Who-who-who are you? Just a coin, not a sellout
Revenue au matin pleine de sueur
Back in the morning, drenched in sweat
Mon corps menti entre les bras du passeur
My body lied between the arms of the ferryman
Accroupie, laisser toute la meute rager
Crouched down, letting the whole pack rage
T'es-t'es-t'es qui pour me traiter, pour me traiter, toi?
Who-who-who are you to judge me, to judge me, you?
Que faire
What to do
De l'énergie que j'perds
Of the energy that I'm losing
Quand j'te veux
When I want you
Damn, dis-moi comment mieux
Damn, tell me how to do better
Que faire
What to do
De l'énergie que j'perds
Of the energy that I'm losing
Quand j'te veux
When I want you
Damn, dis-moi comment mieux
Damn, tell me how to do better
Chris, I don't know why you trippin'
Touché, touché, touché, touché
Touched, touched, touched, touched
Touché, touché, touché, touché
Touched, touched, touched, touched
Touché, touché, touché, touché
Touched, touched, touched, touched
Touché, touché, touché, touché (You got to keep on rollin' girl)
Keep rollin', rollin' (b-b-b-baby)
Touché, touché, touché, touché (b-b-b-baby)
Touched, touched, touched, touched (b-b-b-baby)
Touché, touché, touché, touché (b-b-b-baby)
Touched, touched, touched, touched (b-b-b-baby)
Touché, touché, touché, touché (oh no)
Touched, touched, touched, touched (oh no)
Touché, touché, touché, touché (yeah)
Touched, touched, touched, touched (yeah)
