L'Éternel féminin [English translation]

In my filthy basement

Where my stoves burn

Where the damned souls

Grill from bottom up

Look who's here.

Who's fanning the flames?

Ruling over the Underworld,

The Devil is a woman!

No wonder, right?

From brunettes to blondes

Through them came

All the woes of the world!

The Devil is a woman

And you suspected as much:

A woman's place,

Shouldn't it be in at home?

On my charred bed

Lascivious and so cruel

How to invoke me

Do I need to be called?

My devils and my men

And God himself in person

Just keep calling me:

"Mistress. »

For so many prophets,

Righteous scholars

The equation makes sense,

That's proof in two!

It has been proclaimed so much

In a wonderful tone:

The devil is a woman,

Women are the devil!

And whether they are victims

Or whether they're accomplices

Of their males and sons

And their evil deeds,

Just go for the first punch,

Common Taliban

On those beloved demons

Cause they need to be silenced!

On my charred bed

Lascivious and so cruel

Gentlemen, come help me

To take off my laces

In your burning emotions

As I shall command

Come on, call me:

"Mistress."

Whoever the brigand is,

There's corrupting

Awareness of power

Sleeping between her thighs.

Who's whispering orders

And the dire advices?

You, my sisters, the tarts,

The whores and the pests!

Behind every bloke

Without faith, law or soul

If you're looking for the devil,

You'll find the woman:

The wench, the betrayer,

The bitch, the witch

Borgia's daughter

And Hitler's mommie

On my charred bed

Lascivious and so cruel

I'm waiting for you, now come on:

My lovely damsels

May your last word

That life gives up

Be in a jolt:

"Mistress."

In the meantime I'm counting

Your crimes and your baseness

All your pious lies

And your affairs of the buttocks

I encourage vice,

I cause wars

I rule the world

And God lettin' me!

Because God doesn't care

Of your little torments

With his white angels

In its white firmament

God is so beautiful,

She's a generous woman!

But don't trust her,

She's just a tease!

On my charred bed

Lascivious and so cruel

To celebrate your sins

I answer the call

And to get me to come

In a voice that shivers

Just have to say again:

"Mistress. »
