I need gloves, I need gloves
I need gloves, I need gloves
I need gloves, I need gloves
I need gloves, I need gloves
Est-ce qu'une femme mannequin est une mannequine
Is a female model a mannequine?
Elle ne le sait pas mais rêve de faire du mannequinat
She doesn’t know it, but dreams of modeling
D'anonyme, seule et belle, abandonnée, orpheline
From anonymous, alone and beautiful, abandoned, orphaned
La féline en défilé, la fille sort de l'orphelinat
The feline on the runway, the girl comes out of the orphanage
Il faut toujours faire des plans sur la comète
You always have to make plans for the comet
Ce soir elle est la vedette du défilé Victoria's Secret
Tonight she’s the star of the Victoria's Secret show
Ça se fête, entre modèles et kilowatts
It’s a celebration, among models and kilowatts
Mais même la saoul lit et elle voit la lie des malades au mains moites
But even the drunk sleeps and sees the dregs of the sick with clammy hands
Harcelée par un gros client aux manières de porc
Harassed by a big client with piggish manners
La fille se fige, il a cassé ma chaîne en or
The girl freezes, he broke my gold chain
Donc elle jab au menton, enchaîne gauche-gauche-droite
So she jabs at his chin, chaining left-left-right
Fait un signe aux copines puis se barre de la boîte
Makes a sign to her friends then leaves the club
Marche sous la pluie jusqu'à Wooster Street
Walks in the rain all the way to Wooster Street
Digicode, tour de clé, puis elle fall asleep
Keypad, turn the key, then she falls asleep
Elle a appris à défiler grâce au mannequinat
She learned to strut thanks to modeling
Et elle va se défiler grâce à l'orphelinat
And she's going to slip away thanks to the orphanage
J'aimais bien cette institution
I really liked that institution
Même s'il a fallu qu'j'm'en aille, I need gloves
Even though I had to leave, I need gloves
Le dimanche c'était équitation
On Sundays it was horseback riding
Le lundi c'est muay-thaï, le mercredi boxe thaï
On Mondays it's Muay Thai, on Wednesdays Thai boxing
J'aimais bien cette institution
I really liked that place
Même s'il a fallu qu'j'm'en aille; I need gloves
Even if I had to leave; I need gloves
Le dimanche c'était équitation
On Sundays it was horseback riding
Le jeudi c'est muay-thaï, le samedi boxe thaï
On Thursdays it's Muay Thai, on Saturdays Thai boxing
I need gloves, I need gloves
I need gloves, I need gloves
I need gloves, I need gloves
I need gloves, I need gloves
I need gloves
I need gloves
Le lendemain, coup de fil à neuf heure
The next day, a call at nine o'clock
Taxi jaune pour downtown elle a très très peur
Yellow taxi to downtown, she's very very scared
Son parapluie est à l'agence, elle porte un survêt blanc
Her umbrella's at the agency, she's wearing a white tracksuit
C'est son beau-père qui l'attend et il est pas content
It's her father-in-law waiting for her, and he's not pleased
Dans le building, il y a le mec d'hier soir
In the building, there's the guy from last night
Qui la montre du doigt et la fusille du regard
Who points at her and shoots her a fiery glance
En déchirant une photo sans hésitation
As he tears up a photo without hesitation
Elle avec une chaîne en or devant une pension
Her with a gold chain in front of a boarding house
Flashback, un jeune lui avait dit "vas-y!
Flashback, a young man had said to her, 'Go for it!'
S'il y a de la pluie je serai ton parapluie
If it rains, I'll be your umbrella
Si le soleil est brûlant je serai ton parasol
If the sun is blazing, I'll be your parasol
Et tu pourras défiler dans la mégalopole"
And you'll be able to parade in the megacity
Donc il jab au menton, enchaîne gauche-gauche-droite
So he jabs at the chin, chaining left-left-right
Tibia sur le crâne et en anglais "get out"
Shin on the skull and in English 'get out'
Il est devenu booker après l'orphelinat
He became a booker after the orphanage
Pour la protéger pendant le mannequinat
To protect her during her modeling career
J'aimais bien cette institution
I really liked that institution
Même s'il a fallu qu'j'm'en aille I need gloves
Even if I had to leave, I need gloves
Le dimanche c'était équitation
Sundays were for horseback riding
Le jeudi c'est muay-thaï, le samedi boxe thaï
Thursdays are Muay Thai, Saturdays boxing Thai
Gloves, I need gloves,
Gloves, I need gloves
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need gloves, I need gloves
I need gloves, I need gloves,
I need love
I need love
