Poupée de cire, poupée de son [English translation]

I'm a wax doll

A sound doll

My heart is engraved in my songs

Wax doll, sound doll

Am I better, am I worse

Than a fashion doll ?

It's like I see life through bright rosy-tinted glasses

Wax doll, sound doll

My records are a mirror

In which everyone can see me

I'm everywhere in the same time

Broken in a thousand pieces of voice

Around me I can hear

Rag dolls laughing

Those who dance to my songs

Wax doll, sound doll

They let themselves be seduced

For any old reason

Love isn't only in songs

Wax doll, sound doll

My records are a mirror

In which everyone can see me

I'm everywhere in the same time

Broken in a thousand pieces of voice

Alone, I sometimes sigh

Thinking, what's the point

Of singing love like this, without reason

Without knowing anything about boys?

I'm only a wax doll

Only a sound doll

Under my sunny blond hair

Wax doll, sound doll

But one day I'll be living my songs

Wax doll, sound doll

Without fearing boys' warmth

Wax doll, sound doll
