Le Maudit [English translation]

[Verse 1]

You're walking somewhere in the city

Without knowing really where you're going

You're thinking about your life again

You're counting how many people you've already betrayed

How many people you have already lied to

How many people you have already made suffer

And deep down your remorse

You love her still

[Chorus]

You are the prisoner of your secret

But your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

[Verse 2]

You don't feel good about yourself, you're crying

Without ever being consoled

They laugh behind your back, let it be

You feel alone in this city of millionaires

They laugh behind your back

And beneath it all, what is there to do?

And you smile at everyone

You smile at everyone

[Chorus]

You are the prisoner of your secret

But your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

[Bridge]

Poor curse

Like your life needs to be a comedy

Poor cure

Like your life needs to be a long night

Poor curse

[Verse 3]

Something in your life is going

You don't really know what to think

You don't have the spark of a genie anymore

You don't have the spark in your life anymore

Suddenly, you don't like your picture anymore

Even deep down in your shame

You smile at everyone

[Chorus]

You are the prisoner of your secret

But your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

[Interlude]

Poor curse

Like your life needs to be a comedy

Poor cure

Like your life needs to be a long night

Poor curse

[Outro]

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake

Your pain erases your mistake
