Je veux des odeurs d'artificiers
I want the scents of fireworks
Même si personne ne se laisse aimer
Even if no one lets themselves be loved
Je désire ce qui tremble
I desire what trembles
Qu'aucune journée ne se ressemble
So that no day resembles another
Je dis ça pour que tu comprennes
I say this so you understand
J'attendrai pas que la tendresse vienne
I won't wait for tenderness to come
Je l'ai mouchée jusqu'au sang
I made her cry until she bled
Ma timidité d'adolescent
My adolescent shyness
Tu te moquais tellement
You laughed so much
Nan, nan, nan
No, no, no
Make some sense out of it all
Donne un sens à tout ça
Tous ses bras dont je me fous
All those arms that I don't care about
Choose which side you are on
Choose which side you're on
Ces endroits où je te vois partout
These places where I see you everywhere
Oh, now you tell me
Ma dignité dans ma salive
My dignity in my saliva
Je suis ici, tu vois tout arrive
I'm here, you see everything is happening
Je ne cesse de réclamer
I keep on demanding
Plus forte d'être dévisagée
Stronger for being stared at
Quand j'aurai enfin désobéi
When I finally disobey
Je serais menaçante moi aussi
I would be threatening too
Encore fraîchement marquée
Still freshly marked
Machine de guerre aux yeux mouillés
Warfare machine with tearful eyes
Je vais jamais abandonné
I will never give up
Nan, nan, nan
Nah, nah, nah
Make some sense out of it all
Tous ses bras dont je me fous
All those arms I don't care about
Choose which side you are on
Ces endroits où je te vois partout
These places where I see you everywhere
Oh, now you tell me
Make some sense out of it all
Tous ses bras dont je me fous
All those arms I don't care about
Oh, now you tell me
Choose which side you are on
Ces endroits où je te vois partout
Those places where I see you everywhere
Je te jure je te vois partout
I swear I see you everywhere
Oh oui, je te vois partout
Oh yes, I see you everywhere
Je te jure je te vois partout
I swear I see you everywhere
