Oh, Ava, je sais, tu sors encore ce soir
Oh, Ava, I know, you're going out again tonight
Ses bras t'attendront dans le noir, plus forts
His arms will wait for you in the dark, stronger
Qu'hier au bar
Than yesterday at the bar
Oh, Ava, tu crées l'envie sur ton passage
Oh, Ava, you create desire as you pass by
Tu hurles sous tes airs de Paname, Madame
You scream under your Parisian airs, Madame
Tu aimes sans âme
You love without a soul
Mais moi je te sens
But I can feel you
Trembler lorsqu'il prend sans gêne son temps
Trembling when he shamelessly takes his time
Pour dire ce qu'il aime
To say what he loves
Chez les autres qui paradent sur ta peine
Among others who parade on your sorrow
Oh, l'aime si tu veux, mais son rire laisse une trace
Oh, love her if you want, but her laughter leaves a mark
Et, des blessures, tu peux renaître si tu t'arraches
And, from wounds, you can be reborn if you break free
De ses mots, de promesses, de mensonges qui blessent
From her words, from promises, from lies that hurt
Mais ne sors pas si tu souffres, mon Ava
But don't go out if you're hurting, my Ava
Oh, Ava, tu relis ces mots sans relâche
Oh, Ava, you read these words tirelessly
De lettres de trois phrases qui t'arrachent ton âge
Of letters of three lines that take away your age
Tu sais qu'il est lâche
You know he is a coward
Mais Ava, il ne te prend que pour une naïve
But Ava, he sees you only as naïve
Quand il t'embrasse, tu reprends vie
When he kisses you, you come back to life
Mais lui il loue son lit
But he praises his bed
Mais moi je te sens trembler lorsqu'il prend sans gêne son temps
But I can feel you tremble when he takes his time without shame
Pour dire ce qu'il aime
To say what he loves
Chez les autres qui paradent sur ta peine
Among others who parade through your pain
Oh, l'aime si tu veux, mais son rire laisse une trace
Oh, love him if you want, but his laughter leaves a mark
Et, des blessures, tu peux renaître si tu t'arraches
And from wounds, you can be reborn if you break free
De ses mots, de promesses, de mensonges qui blessent
From his words, from promises, from lies that hurt
Mais ne sors pas si tu souffres, mon Ava
But don't go out if you're suffering, my Ava
