Madeleine [English translation]

She runs the silk stockings

between her fingers,

well,

she prefers those made of wool, silk stockings bother her,

Madeleine....

She puts black on her eyes

and knots in her hair

a bit of porcelain on Madeleine's cheeks....

Madeleine contains her hate as much as she can for those who cut her wings

who slyly butcher her

Madeleine swore that even if they were to slit her wrists

she would keep going, Madeleine....

She takes attitudes,

instead of habits,

We don't talk about that femininity...

Madeleine contains her hate as much as she can for those who cut her wings

who slyly butcher her

Madeleine swore that even if they were to slit her wrists

she would keep going, Madeleine....

Madeleine...
