Jennifer [English translation]
Jennifer [English translation]
I feel like Jenny's been having problems with herself for too long
In public she does what everyone does, she saves face
She projects an image of a chick joking around, comfortable in her skin, spread out
But if you look at her more closely
You'll quickly understand it's not really that
Because she does too much
She talks loud
As if to cover the resonating noise in her own head
And there's something in her features
In her facial expressions, in her dark circles and her forced smile
It's that she beats herself up to show it
She gives off an impression of weariness and fatigue
As if her pretty eyes had lost their brightness
She had to have been deceived or destroyed by a guy
Maybe a lot of guys, even
And she hasn't put herself back out there since
Unconsciously she probably punishes herself for what happened
While really she has everything going for her
What can you do?
What can you do? What can you do, do you think?
What can you do?
You can take her in your arms and tell her "it's okay, it's okay, it's okay"
You can take her in your arms
And tell her the sun is going to rise at least once
You can take her in your arms
And tell her the sun is going to rise at least once
It's going to, at least once
Same for the kid that I passed the other day next to Zara
At first he was turned away
That's why I first thought it was a girl
He had such skinny legs
And the curves of a girl, long hair, a handbag
It's only when he turned around that I saw it was a guy
A kid in fact, he had to be 17 years old max
He was laughing with his girlfriends
They seemed to be making fun of someone at their school
I don't know too much of what happened to them
But in his eye there was a real pain
Distress that would make your heart lurch
An atrocious thing that he couldn't have evaluated himself
You could see he was clearly adding tons to that
And that he knew he was going to keep suffering
He had to have hammered himself in, treated himself badly, to fly under the radar
I wondered if it wasn't one of these teenagers
That acted as a toy to others, stronger ones, older ones
What can you do?
What can you do? What can you do, do you think?
What can you do?
You can take him in your arms and tell him "it's okay, it's okay, it's okay"
You can take him in your arms
And tell him the sun is going to rise at least once
You can take him in your arms
And tell him the sun is going to rise at least once
It's going to, at least once
I'd also like to talk about the people you know
Necessarily because there are thousands of them
And we all have one like that in our closest circle
When it's not under our own clothes
The buddy who lowers his head as soon as there's a launch window against him, who pitifully goes after
As much on the weekdays as the weekends
Beer, say, strong alcohol, the tap, who does whatever
The guy who falls asleep in cabs
Who gives himself bruises when he falls over because he's doing so poorly
We all know someone who's too kind, too kind, too kind
To stand the world without substance
Someone for whom it all goes too fast in their mind
Who was born crying
But who feels too alone to fight back
We all know someone whom we dare to say nothing
Or not enough
Because it's hard to talk about those things
And at the same time because you rightly say to yourself
"But who am I to judge?"
What can you do?
What can you do? What can you do, do you think?
What can you do?
You can take them in your arms and tell them "it's okay, it's okay, it's okay"
You can take them in your arms
And tell them the sun is going to rise at least once
You can take them in your arms
And tell them the sun is going to rise at least once
It's going to, at least once
As for what concerns me, I'm not that clever either, you know
Because with girls it's not necessarily that there's something simpler
Because for me as well
I can only put on some big bass drums on demand
Because I'm not the best at communicating with others
And because I'm scared, I stress out all the time
So when I come back to my parents' house drunk at night
I write my texts by the light of the screen
But sometimes you know it's not enough, it's not enough
What can you do?
What can you do? What can you do, do you think?
What can you do?
You can take me in your arms and tell me "it's okay, it's okay, it's okay"
You can take me in your arms
And tell me the sun is going to rise at least once
You can take her in your arms
And tell her me sun is going to rise at least once
It's going to, at least once
