A franchement parler [English translation]

It’s about time they light up the fountains,

Where I go out a little bit to catch the air, finally, where I hang out

I wipe the glances of all those who don’t love me enough

And I understand very well what they say behind my back

I have so much things to blame myself for

But I can’t help it

To speak frankly,

It does me nothing

I can’t help it

It’s about time she comes to tell me that she loves me

And I pretend to worry about her problems

She will never know that I just love myself

She will never understand what is waiting for her if she attaches herself to me

I have so much things to blame myself for

But I can’t help it

To speak frankly,

It does me nothing

I can’t help it

It’s about time I turn around and go back home

And remain alone, I don’t feel good with other people around

They call me selfish, but that’s really my least flaw

I understand very well what they say behind my back

I have so much things to blame myself for

But I can’t help it

To speak frankly,

It does me nothing

I can’t help it
