La petite marchande de porte clefs [English translation]

His mother wanted to wait and marry her to someone, his father wanted to drown her

Only one child per household, He wanted a boy,

But his bitch of a wife did only half the job

at the countryside, strong men are needed to work

No more mouth to feed , no more female pisser that cries

It's almost impossible to live

Only one daughter means losing his family name

It is a shame for villagers

What could he do with a human waste?

burst her skull between two stones,

bury her next to the dog ?

He went to borrow a shovel from her neighbor

But his neighbor told him to wait

He said he could sell her

And they were lucky ,

A dealer offered to buy the child to sell to tourists

They released her for about one-third of French SMIC

The evening of his departure his mother sang melancholically

Twelve years later, the girl sleeping at his guest quietly

Her awakening is a big kick in the ribs

Her breakfast , it's steamed bread and water

Then towards the engine room to join the others

She was never ​​adopt by rich Western

Her owner raised her, kept her under the cloak

Nine in the same place, his room a wooden crate

At eight years old, she landed at her first job

A kind of nursery where football shorts are made

With his hands in shape of feet as sewing too much,

Hmm, with its spine arched

Twenty minutes lunch break , a little rice, a bowl of soup

Ban talk just the right gesturing,

She must keep her head down to speak to his superiors

Noise haunts her to the point that she cant hear when it stops

To not sink into madness she sings this song in his head

Returning to his hometown after ten years

In search of a cocoon in search of his past,

Finally, her master told her who she really was

Just before he ended his life in jails Government

His factory was discreetly dismantle,

The press was not allowed to cover the event,

In short, most people in the village had left the place ,

Gone away , to open restaurants

Or various clothing stores ,

To join them, she crossed oceans

Close to death , leaving his fate to sail with the wind

Alone , no money, no ID card

She didn't even had a name , other than " the beggar'

After contracting al kind of diseases,

She miraculously land in Paris ,

I was going back home after work at the nightfall

As our eyes met , she came , told me :

" Um , excuse me sir, key chains, two euros

- Uh sorry no , I have nothing on me, good evening "
