Poupée de cire, poupée de son [English translation]

I am a wax doll

A rag doll

My heart is inscribed in my songs

Wax doll, rag doll

Am I better, am I worse

Than a living doll

I see life in pink

Wax doll, rag doll

My discs are a mirror

In which everyone can see me

I am everywhere at once

Broken into a thousand shouts

Around me I hear laughter

The rag dolls

Those that dance on my songs

Wax doll, rag doll

They are seduced

For a yes, for a name

Love is only in songs

Wax doll, rag doll

My discs are a mirror

In which everyone can see me

I am everywhere at once

Broken into a thousand shouts

Only sometimes do I sigh

I tell myself what's good

Sing and love without reason

Without knowing anything about boys

I am only a wax doll

Only a rag doll

Under the sun of my blond hair

Wax doll, rag doll

But one day I will live my songs

Wax doll, rag doll

Without fearing the heat of boys

Wax doll, rag doll
