Comme ils disent [English translation]

I live alone with my mother

In a very old apartment

Sarasate Street

To keep me company

I have a turtle two canaries

And a cat

To let mom rest

Very often I do shopping

And cooking

I clean, I wash, I wipe,

Occasionally I also stitch

With the machine

Work doesn't scare me

I'm a bit of a decorator

A bit of a stylist

But my real job is the night.

That I exercise in drag

I'm an artist

I have a very special number

That ends up in full nude

After striptease

And in the hall I see that

The males can't believe their eyes.

I’m a man, oh!

As they say

Around three o'clock in the morning

We go to eat with friends

Of all sexes

In some bar-tabac

And there we give ourselves a good time

And without complex

We speak out the truth

About the people that we detest

We condemn them

But we do it with humor

Wrapped in puns

Wet with acid

We meet the retarded

Who to impress their tables

Walk and sway

Mimicking what they think is us

And cover themselves, the poor fools

With ridicule

They gesticulate and speak loudly

Playing the diva, the tenor

Of stupidity

The gibes, the mockeries

Leave me frozen because it's true.

I am a man, oh!

As they say

At the hour when a new day is born

I return to my lot

Of loneliness

I take off my eyelashes and my hair

Like a poor unhappy clown

Of weariness

I lie down but do not sleep

I think of my joyless loves

So derisory

Of this boy as beautiful as God

Who without doing anything has set fire

To my memory

My mouth will never dare

To confess my sweet secret

My tender drama

For the object of all my torments

Spends most of his time

In women's beds

No one has the right in truth

To blame me or judge me

And I say clearly

That it is nature that

Is solely responsible if

I’m a man, oh!

As they say
