Mon homme [English translation]

He wants to build a house, an ideal place,

flowers all year round, a postcard picture.

Me, I follow him

my man.

He wants beautiful kids and a smiling dog

that would welcome us even if we get home late.

Me, I follow him

my man.

He wants big rooms of light and joy

where life is good even when we are freezing.

He wants to live long but not too unhappy,

sing when the weather is nice, avoid farewells.

He wants to change the world but you can't do everything

so he just pictures it, that's just whishful thinking.

Me, I follow him

my man.

He needs more than love, but that would suit him well,

he's not the picky type, he loves my breasts.

Me, I follow him

my man.

He has great expectations for the next mornings,

he's in love with life like crazy, and that's a good thing.

He would like us to love each other so strong and openly,

he says "I love you so", he says "forever".

And as night falls, I'm less alone, I'm less gloomy

and as the day dawns, I'm less sad, it comes and goes.

I want to tidy up my life like you would a room,

and then blow everything up, so afraid am I of surrendering.

There I'm fleeing him

my man.

I will set the world on fire and my house too1,

live in the tropics and hit the ceiling!

There I'm fleeing him

my man.

I want to seek my life, the one I won't live,

the one that's always better, that isn't meant for me.

I want to hug the walls and go off in a car,

but I haven't got a licence so I stay in bed.

I want to cheat on him, to be French kissed,

be an open-minded women, receive letters.

There I'm fleeing him

my man.

Burn my life away, wither like flowers,

die once in a while and be born again in spring.

There I'm fleeing him

my man.

I don't want to be forgotten, to be left,

I don't want to be drowned with "another times"s.

I don't want you to forget about me, to leave me,

I don't want you to drown me with your "another time"s.

And as night falls, I'm less alone, I'm less gloomy

and as the day dawns, I'm less sad, it comes and goes.

I's allright2
