Ce jeu [English translation]

Crazy and so obvious

that I can no longer make any sense

of this exciting game

so fun but so tiresome

You like manipulating me

and I like doing the same just as much

We're both victims

of this sweet lovers' game.

I'll make an effort

I know you by heart

I simply need to ignore you

to make you come back crying

I take care of you

You leave again, that's how it goes

It's always the same thing,

and I expect it every time

Passion, emotion, fixing equations

I shake the solution, but I always have the same feeling

It's so obvious

that I can no longer make any sense

of this exciting game, so fun but so tiresome

I don't want a love without flaws

Too perfect, I'm not interested in you

Crazy about you, especially when you leave

Crazy about me, I'm going right away

I lose myself sometimes

often, it's done well

And you hide your happiness

because you had me

like a stupid, gentle prey

who doesn't learn anything

from the crude and basic trap of a charming boy

But it's really too easy

as soon as you smile, you pull me in

like a nimble magnet on a tight iron wire

But it's really too easy

It's my apple* that attracts you

I turn my back to leave

You know that it isn't sour**

*refers to her face, body, physical traits

**refers to the "apple"
