Lucie [English translation]

Lucy, oh Lucy

What are you up to?

Lucy, oh Lucy

What's bothering you?

The whole city is yours

The whole city is in your hands

The rest is nothing but history1

You knew the ending from the start2

Lucy, oh Lucy

There is no need

Oh Lucy, oh Lucy

To come back3

Every man is looking at you

They are soiling you with their eyes

It's the way you wear your make up

That resembles a confession

The whole city is yours

You know it well

The city is yours

You do know it

Lucy

Lucy

Lucy, oh Lucy

You must understand

Oh Lucy, oh Lucy

You must remember

These nights looking at the mirror

Pretending to still have some dignity4

Kissing your dear spot in the bed5

And you would like to start over

The whole city is yours

You know it well

The city is yours

You do know it

Today the life that I'm living

Has finally healed my frailty

The only thing that bothers you

And that you'd like to take away

You know it well

The city is yours

You do know it

Lucy
