Voilà [English translation]

It's an old story, and yet it's in my head

in vain, I told him "Get away, she's staying here!"

It's an old memory, the crackle of a match

In vain, I told him "Get the hell out", he didn't move

Voila, voila, voila, voila

If only we could make a choice, here where we are

Only voila, voila, voila, voila

We can't

It's like a habit, a bit like a mania

I love solitude to the point of tyranny

Don't come and dislodge me from my shell when I'm hibernating

Or, I apologise in advance for my shots in your lanterns

Voila, voila, voila, voila

If only we could make a choice, here where we are

Only voila, voila, voila, voila

We can't

The type

I could have crushed you, I could have done much more

I could have disorientated it with my eyes in her eyes

Great, great, great, great

But nothing, I didn't move, he got what he wanted

Voila, voila, voila, voila

If only we could make a choice, here where we are

Only voila, voila, voila, voila

We can't

There it is, it's decided, I'm going to decide everything

Without getting invaded, without getting pissed off

I'm only going to listen to myself, I only want what's good for me

But I speak so low that, in the end, i don't hear anything

Voila, voila, voila, voila

If only we could make a choice, here where we are

Only voila, voila, voila, voila

We can't

If I could have chosen between me and something else

It's a little disgusting to say, but I would have chosen something else

I think about it often enough and I'm starting to do it

When I have enough time, I'll even end up pleasing myself
