Hey
Hey
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Écris une chanson contente
"Write a happy song
Pas une chanson déprimante
Not a depressing song
Une chanson que tout l'monde aime"
A song that everyone loves"
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Tu deviendras milliardaire
"You'll become a billionaire
T'auras de quoi être fier
You'll have something to be proud of
Ne finis pas comme ton père"
Don't end up like your father
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Ne t'enferme pas dans ta chambre
Don't lock yourself in your room
Vas-y, secoue-toi et danse
Come on, shake it off and dance
Dis-moi, c'est quoi ton problème?"
Tell me, what's your problem?
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Qu'est-ce que t'as, t'as l'air coincé?
What's wrong with you, you look stuck?
T'es défoncé ou t'es gay?
Are you high or are you gay?
Tu finiras comme ton frère"
You'll end up like your brother
Elle me dit
She tells me
Elle me dit "c'est ta vie
She tells me, 'It's your life
Fais c'que tu veux, tant pis
Do what you want, whatever
Un jour tu comprendras
One day you'll understand
Un jour tu t'en voudras"
One day you'll regret it'
Elle me dit "t'es trop nul
She tells me, 'You're such a loser
Sors un peu de ta bulle
Step out of your bubble
Tu fais n'importe quoi
You're doing anything but right
On dirait que t'aimes ça"
It seems like you love it'
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Why are you wasting your life?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Why are you wasting your life?

She tells me, 'dance'
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Why are you wasting your life?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Why are you wasting your life?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Why are you wasting your life?
Danse, danse, danse
Dance, dance, dance
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Fais comme les autres garçons
'Do like the other boys
Va taper dans un ballon
Go kick a ball
Tu deviendras populaire"
You'll become popular
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Qu'est-ce tu fous sur Internet?
"What are you doing on the Internet?
Ça va pas bien dans ta tête?
Is something wrong in your head?
Regarde le temps que tu perds"
Look at the time you're wasting"
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Pourquoi tu te plains tout l'temps?
"Why do you complain all the time?
On dirait que t'as 8 ans
It feels like you're 8 years old
C'est pas comme ça qu'tu vas plaire"
That's not how you're gonna charm"
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Un jour je n'serai plus là"
One day I won't be here anymore
Mais c'est quand elle me dit ça
But it's when she tells me this
Qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime
That she says something I love
Elle me dit
She tells me
Elle me dit "c'est ta vie
She tells me 'it's your life
Fais c'que tu veux, tant pis
Do what you want, oh well
Un jour tu comprendras
One day you'll understand
Un jour tu t'en voudras"
One day you'll regret it'
Elle me dit "t'es trop nul
She tells me 'you're so lame
Sors un peu de ta bulle
Get out of your bubble a little
Tu fais n'importe quoi
You're doing whatever you want
On dirait que t'aimes ça"
It seems like you enjoy it

She tells me
"T'as pas encore des cheveux blancs
"You don't have gray hairs yet
Et t'auras bientôt 30 ans
And you'll be 30 soon
Faudrait que tu te réveilles"
You should wake up"
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Tu es toujours un enfant
"You're still a child
Tu ne seras jamais grand
You'll never grow up
Et moi je suis déjà vieille"
And me, I'm already old"
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Regarde un peu tes amis
"Take a look at your friends
Qu'est-ce qu'ils vont faire de leur vie?
What are they going to do with their lives?
Y a de quoi se foutre en l'air"
There's enough to drive you crazy"
Elle me dit
She tells me
"Oui un jour tu me tueras"
"Yes, one day you'll kill me"
Et c'est quand elle me dit ça
