Cendrillon [English translation]

Cinderella just turned twenty

And she's the most beautiful child

Her dear lover, sir Prince Charming

Takes her upon his white horse

And time slips her mind

In this silver palace

So as not to notice the rising day

She closed her eyes and in her dreams

She's gone

Lovely little story

She's gone

Lovely little story

Cinderella just turned thirty

And she's the saddest of mothers

Her Prince Charming has walked away

He left her for Sleeping Beauty

She's seen countless white horses

Take her children away from her

So she starts to drink

To hang around in bars

And wallowing in her despair

Now she's starting to work the streets

She's gone

Lovely little story

She's gone

Lovely little story

After just ten years of this life

She ended up a junkie

And in an infinite slumber

Cinderella's watching her life go

The lights dance inside

The ambulance

But she kills her very last chance

Nothing matters anymore

She's gone

End of story

Our Father who art so old,

Say, have you really done your best?

Because on Earth and in heaven

Your angels do not like growing old
