On s'est connus tout petits
We knew each other when we were little
Tu n'me parlais pas
You didn't talk to me
Moi mes parents m'avaient dit
My parents had told me
Fuis-la
Run from her
À quoi bon te ressembler
What's the point of being like you?
Tout le monde essaie
Everyone tries
Moi tenter j'ai beau
Me, I try in vain
J'ai pas le niveau
I'm not at that level
Mode
Je te maudis je te maudis tu me voles
I curse you, I curse you, you steal from me
Qui je suis si j'te suis
Who am I if I follow you
Qu'on me pardonne
Let me be forgiven
De vouloir être comme tu es
For wanting to be just like you
Mode
Style
Je te maudis je te maudis tu me voles
I curse you, I curse you, you steal from me
Qui je suis si j'te suis
Who am I if I follow you
Je me raisonne
I reason with myself
Pour ne pas être comme
To not be like
Tu es
You are
Tu me dis comment penser
You tell me how to think
Comment je dois rire
How should I laugh
Ces derniers temps t'as changé
Lately, you've changed
Parfois en pire
Sometimes for the worse
Je t'ai suivie parfois suivie ma foi quasi autant
I've followed you, sometimes followed my faith just as much
Autant tenter de s'agripper au vent
It's like trying to cling to the wind
Pour me ménager j'ai dû nager
To take it easy, I had to swim
À contre-courant
Against the current
Mode
Style
Je te maudis je te maudis tu me voles
I curse you, I curse you, you steal from me
Qui je suis si j'te suis
Who am I if I follow you
Qu'on me pardonne
Forgive me
De vouloir être comme tu es
For wanting to be just like you are
Mode
Fashion
Je te maudis je te maudis tu me voles
I curse you, I curse you, you're stealing from me
Qui je suis si j'te suis
Who am I if I'm following you
Je me raisonne
I talk sense to myself
Pour ne pas être comme
To avoid being like
Tu es
You are
Parfois les gens sont bloqués
Sometimes people are stuck
Sur une musique
On a tune
Ils te préfèrent au passé
They prefer you over the past
D'instinct nostalgique
With a nostalgic instinct
Je t'ai suivie parfois suivie ma foi quasi autant
I followed you sometimes, I swear, nearly as much
Autant tenter de s'agripper au vent
Just as much as trying to cling to the wind
Mode tu m'as
Fashion, you have me
Aimé je crois
Loved, I believe
Mais demain tu m'oublieras
But tomorrow you'll forget me
Mode
Fashion
Je te maudis je te maudis tu me voles
I curse you, I curse you, you steal from me
Qui je suis si j'te suis
Who am I if I follow you
Qu'on me pardonne
Forgive me
De vouloir être comme tu es
For wanting to be just like you are
Mode

Je te maudis je te maudis tu me voles
I curse you, I curse you, you steal from me
Qui je suis si j'te suis
Who am I if I follow you
Je me raisonne
I reason with myself
Pour ne pas être comme
So I won’t be like
Tu es
You are
Tu es
You are
Tu es
You are
Pour ne pas être comme tu es
To not be like you are
