Je suis malade [English translation]

I don't dream anymore

I don't smoke anymore

I don't even have a history

I'm dirty without you

I'm ugly without you

I'm like an orphan in a dormitory

I don't want to live my life anymore

My life ends when you leave

I don't have a life anymore and even my bed

Turns into a station platform

When you leave

I'm sick

Completely sick

Just like when my mother was going out at night

Leaving me alone with my own despair

I'm sick

Absolutely sick

We never know when you arrive

We never know where you go

And it will soon be two years

That you don't care

Like to a rock

Like to a sin

I am hung up on you

I'm tired, I'm exhausted

Of pretending to be happy when they're here

I drink every night

But all the whiskies

Taste the same to me

And all the boats

Are carrying your flag

I don't know where to go anymore

You're everywhere

I'm sick

I'm completely sick

I pour my blood into your body

And I'm like a dead bird

When you are sleeping

I'm sick

Absolutely sick

You've bereft me of all my songs

You've drained me of all my words

Though I had talent, before your skin

This love is killing me

And if this goes on

I will die alone, with myself

Close to my radio like a stupid kid

Listening to my own voice that will sing

I'm sick

Completely sick

Just like when my mother was going out at night

Leaving me alone with my own despair

I'm sick

That's it ! I'm sick

You've bereft me of all my songs

You've drained me of all my words

And my heart is completely sick

Surrounded by barricades

Do you hear me ? I'm sick !
