Baston [English translation]

People tell me that I have a character*1

Like a thing that does not fit

That it isn't necessary to impress myrself

If they glue chestnuts on me!*2

And that I don't have the physique

That one day I am going to get a red card

And that it is a way

Reserved for bad boys

That a girl cannot have a scar on her chin

And that I am a bad person because

I raise my voice

My baker who never tells me "Hello", nor "Thank you",

I grince my teth, then I become impolite

I tear out my hair, start clenching my fists

She cathes a baguette and I hit her in the face!*3

Chorus:

Yes I am angry and that annoys me

People play on my nerves, that riles me up

And I fight!

And yes I am angry and that annoys me

People look right through me, that riles me up

And so I punch!

And so I punch!

I

He whistles to me in the street, "Come see, darling!"

But me, a little blue flower, vexed and bored by it

There appears a thing like the one that starts to glow, a wish to break everything

So I turn into a firework and I show him my karate!

She told me: "You are kind, but no need to bring it,

Your cheap tattoo is far from impressing me

You talk too much, you talk hard, and there's nothing to be agitated about

I will put you back to your place, if you just provoke me

My poles shift a little, my ears start to heat up,*4

I become scarlet red and I spit my fire!

Chorus:

Yes I am angry and that annoys me

People play on my nerves, that riles me up

And I fight!

And yes I am angry and that annoys me

People look right through me, that riles me up

And so I punch!

And so I punch!

I don't have a bad character, but no need to tickle me too much

One word louder than another one, I am easy to wind up

I have a taste for the fighting, I do not do my job*5

They know my banner, they are afraid to hang out near it!

I have a leather jacket, like hooligans from my neighborhood,

I warn you baby, if you find me, it's going to be bloody!

Chorus:

Yes I am angry and that annoys me

People play on my nerves, that riles me up

And I fight!

And yes I am angry and that annoys me

People look right through me, that riles me up

And so I punch!

And so I punch!

Yes I am angry and that annoys me

People play on my nerves, that riles me up

And I fight!

And yes I am angry and that annoys me

People look right through me, that riles me up

And so I punch!

And so I punch!

And I fight!

And I fight!

And yes, I punch!

And yes, I punch!
