Comme un garçon [English translation]

Just like a boy, I wear my hair long,

Just like a boy, a biker's jacket,

a medallion, a big leather belt,

Just like a boy..

Just like a boy, I'm very stubborn

and I often give wallops and clouts

and big punches, you'd better watch out,

Just like a boy..

And yet, I am just a girl..

And when I am in your arms,

I am / just a little girl,

All lost, when you're not around..

Just like a boy, I got my own bike

Just like a boy, I do rodeo,

I'm a terror rushing on the road,

Just like a boy..

Just like a boy, I can't be daunted,

Just like a boy, I have some buddies

and in the gang, I am the leader,

Just like a boy..

And yet, I am just a girl..

And when I'm with you, you see,

I am / a mere little girl,

Oh you can do what you want of me..

Just like a boy, I wear my hair long,

Just like a boy, a biker's jacket,

a medallion, a big leather belt,

Just like a boy..

Just like a boy, you are not really

affectionate, behave casually,

But with you, I / can never more be

Just like a boy..

I am / a mere little girl

all lost, when you are away,

I am / just a little girl

and it's much better that way..

that way.
