Sympathique [Je ne veux pas travailler] [English translation]

My room is a form of a cage,

The sun streams through the window,

the bellhops are at my door like those little soldiers

who want to take me away.

*I don't want to work,

I don't want to lunch

I only want to forget

and so I smoke.

Long ago I knew the smell of love,

a million roses didn't smell as sweet.

Now a single flower in my way

makes me sick.

Repeat *

**I am not proud if this life

that wants to kill me.

It's magnificent to be nice

but I have never known this.

Repeat *,**,*
