Pauvre garçon [English translation]
Pauvre garçon [English translation]
Are you doing better now
Now that you don’t have me under your feet all the time
And life, and your life
Is it better like that
Ever, ever since
I stopped lurking around you
You’re not my mother
Don’t say it anymore I know it only too well
And you don’t want to wait any longer for me to lasso you the moon
And life, and your life
Is it more beautiful now
Now that you have chucked me
Now that you have chased me off
Like the worst of your problems
Poor boy
Poor boy
Poor boy
Poor little fool 1
Now that you know nearly everything
That I’m really not worth the effort
I’ll no longer bang your head
Against the wall, don’t hold it against me
I just wanted you to take care
Of me a little more
Poor boy
Poor boy
Poor boy
Poor little fool
Perhaps you won’t even cut your wrists 2
If you hear of someone else loving me
Someone else dancing
Deep inside me
Was the love I gave you really so bad darling
It’s disgusting to imagine you
Closing your eyes
Towards another night together
I could jump into the void
To impress you
To imagine those few moments you watching me fall
And if this time for once
You didn’t lie
To see you so beautiful so beautiful from all the way down here
Poor boy
Poor boy
Poor boy
Poor little fool
Poor boy
Poor boy
Poor boy
You’re nothing but a poor little fool
1. 'con' could literally translate a 'c**t' here but it seems far too strong! You may prefer 'jerk', 'twat', 'idiot'...2. really this says 'cut your arms' as in self-harming. Just doesn't sound very natural
