Get up, girl
Six mois de plâtre or
Six months of plaster gold
J'ai beau me taire, j'ai rêvé trop fort
No matter how silent I stay, I've dreamed too loud
Quand tout se taille
When everything falls apart
Si peu qui te donnent
So few give you anything
Train de retard, que sais-je de l'homme?
A train late, what do I know of man?
Get up, Mylène
Des flammes si la vie te saque
Flames if life kicks you out
Je pense donc je suis pour boire un verre
I think therefore I am to have a drink
Et si je stagne, là
And if I stagnate, here
Si je comprends tout
If I understand everything
Suis plus la même, la vie a bon dos
I'm not the same anymore, life has its advantages
Mais pour les gens, c'est du vague
But for the people, it’s all hazy
Mais pour les gens, je déraille
But for the people, I'm losing my mind
Et chaque fois, une entaille
And every time, a scar
Et la vie goes on and on
And life goes on and on
I don't know why
I find life so sexy
I feel so high
I guess life's so sexy
Get up, girl
J'ai pas lu tout Descartes, mais
I haven't read all of Descartes, but
Je pense donc je suis pour boire un verre
I think therefore I am to grab a drink
Et si je baille
And if I yawn
Si je me lève tôt
If I wake up early
Suis plus la même, la vie a bon dos
I'm no longer the same, life has thick skin
Mais pour les gens, c'est du vague
But for the people, it's just vague
Mais pour les gens, je déraille
But for the people, I'm off the rails
Et chaque fois, une entaille
And every time, a little cut
Et la vie goes on and on
And life goes on and on
Mais pour les gens, c'est du vague
But for the people, it's all vague
Mais pour les gens, je déraille
But for the people, I'm losing it
Et chaque fois, une entaille
And every time, a cut
Et la vie goes on and on
And life goes on and on
I don't know why
I find life so sexy
I feel so high
I guess life's so sexy
Sexy
Sexy
Sexy
