Comme une femme [English translation]

Nobody feels any pain

At night, when I hang out in the rain

But everyone has learned

That Baby has new clothes

Long mermaid’s locks

And priceless ribbons

That she hides, but I have discovered them...

She reigns, just like a woman

She gives herself, just like a woman

She prays, just like a woman

She breaks like a little girl

The Queen Mary, she must surely know

Tomorrow, I will come back to see her

And at hers, I will wait

For Baby to be saved

When she has understood that she is

Like all humanity

With her pearls, her amphetamines and her insomnias

She reigns, just like a woman

She gives herself, just like a woman

She suffers, just like a woman

And she breaks like a little girl

It rained for a month

I was dying of hunger and then, I followed her

I was dreaming of being less cold

She knew that she would have for me

Only one one night

She said nothing

She betrayed me

And even so, today...

Neither she nor I regret

There it is, it's like that, everything ends

And if one day by chance

We must meet again

She will forget, I hope, who I was that famous evening

When I was hungry, and when we were in her world

She reigns, just like a woman

She gives herself, just like a woman

She prays, just like a woman

She breaks like a little girl
