Engin diabolique
Diabolical machine
Pantin maléfique
Evil puppet
Est venue l'heure
The hour has come
Qu'on lui donne un cœur
To give it a heart
Les clous dans ses reins
The nails in its back
Et le bois de ses mains
And the wood of its hands
Vont s'animer
Will come to life
Vont s'articuler
Will start to move
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me alone
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me alone
J'ai
I have
J'aimerai qu'il
I wish he'd
Me laisse tranquille
Leave me alone
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me alone
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me alone
J'ai
I have
J'aimerai qu'il
I wish he'd
Perde le fil
Lose the thread
Le vent dans ses veines
The wind in his veins
Le délit de ses chaînes
The crime of his chains
Et tôt ou tard
And sooner or later
Il prendra le pouvoir
He will take the power
Ses cheveux de soie
His silky hair
Et sa bouche de bois
And his wooden mouth
Déposera un baiser sur moi
Will place a kiss on me
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me alone
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me alone
J'ai
I have
J'aimerai qu'il
I would love for him
Me laisse tranquille
To leave me alone
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me alone
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me alone
J'ai
I have
J'aimerai qu'il
I wish he would
Perde le fil
Lose his way
Je sens qu'il manipule
I feel he's manipulating
Sur un fil funambule
On a tightrope
Sa vie
His life
Sa vie
His life
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me alone
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me be
J'ai
I have
J'aimerai qu'il
I wish he would
Perde le fil
Lose the thread
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me be
Laisse-moi tranquille
Leave me be
J'ai
I have
J'aimerai qu'il
I wish he would
Dénoue les fils
Untangle the threads
