Elle Me Dit [English translation]

She tells me

"Write a happy song

Not a depressing song

A song everybody loves"

She tells me

"You'll become a billionaire

You'll have the right to be proud

Don't end up like your father"

She tells me

"Don't lock yourself up in your bedroom

Come on, shake yourself and dance

Tell me, what's your problem ?"

She tells me

"What's wrong with you, you look so square

Are you high/stoned or are you gay ?

You'll end up like your brother"

She tells me

She tells me "It's your life,

Do what you want, nevermind

One day you'll understand

One day you'll regret it"

She tells me "You're hopeless

Pop out of your little bubble

You're messing around

Looks like you enjoy it"

Why waste your life away ? (x3)

Dance, dance, dance

Why waste your life away ? (x3)

Dance, dance, dance

She tells me

"Act like the others boys

Go and play football

You'll become popular"

She tells me

"What the hell are you doin' on the internet ?

Are you not right in the head ?

Look at how much time you waste"

She tells me

"Why are you always complaining ?

You act like you're 8

It's not how you're going to please me"

She tells me

"One day I won't be there anymore"

But that when she tells me this

That she tells me something I like

She tells me "It's your life,

Do what you want, nevermind

One day you'll understand

One day you'll regret it"

She tells me "You're hopeless

Pop out of your little bubble

You're messing around

Looks like you enjoy it"

Why waste your life away ? (x3)

She tells me "dance!"

Dance, dance, dance

Why waste your life away ? (x3)

She tells me "dance"

Dance, dance, dance

She tells me

"You don't have white hair yet

But soon you'll be 30

You better wake up"

She tells me

"You're still a child

You'll never be a grown-up

And I'm already old"

She tells me

"Take a look at your friends

What are they going to do with their life ?

It's worth topping oneself"

She tells me

"Yes one day you'll kill me"

But that's when she tells me this

That she tells me something I like...

She tells me "It's your life,

Do what you want, nevermind

One day you'll understand

One day you'll regret it"

She tells me "You're hopeless

Pop out of your little bubble

You're messing around

Looks like you enjoy it"

Why waste your life away ? (x3)

She tells me "dance!"

Dance, dance, dance

Why waste your life away ? (x3)

She tells me "dance"

Dance, dance, dance
