Black Marilyn [English translation]

To be like her

I make myself beautiful

A porcelain microphone

I am an American diva

And my bedroom with its trembling walls

From the deafening music

Is a witness of my prowess

In front of the mirror I play the goddess

I'm still dreaming

She has

This "je ne sais quoi" that makes us dream

And a little bit of me can't stop

Acting as though I was her, being like her

And I imagine

That I am a Black Marilyn

And that people will quadruple my portrait

And that Warhol draws it

A Black Marilyn

To be like her

I make myself beautiful

And I act

Until I'm thanking the Academy

And my bedroom with its trembling walls

Where I shout to whoever will hear it

I love you I love you

I love you I love you

And I believe it above all

I'm still dreaming

She has

This "je ne sais quoi" that makes us dream

And a little bit of me can't stop

Acting as though I was her, being like her

And I imagine

That I am a Black Marilyn

And that people will quadruple my portrait

And that Warhol draws it

A Black Marilyn

She has

This "je ne sais quoi" that makes us dream

And a little bit of me can't stop

Acting as though I was her, being like her

And I imagine

That I am a Black Marilyn

And that people will quadruple my portrait

And that Warhol draws it

A Black Marilyn
