La Machine [English translation]

I bought myself a machine

A machine that doesn't make anything

Every time I put in 20 cents

It replies: "Thank you very much"

There are buttons everywhere

The buttons drive me crazy

I press all of them at the same time

It makes more noise than a gun

I bought myself a machine

A machine that kills boredom

But the only thing that bothers me

Is that it pinches my pennies

I bought myself a machine

A machine to go back in time

I put it in my kitchen

It's super for (boiling) eggs (?!)

There are lights everywhere

Neon drives me crazy

I switch them all on at the same time

They reflect on its zinc (console)

I bought myself a machine

A hydro-plexiglass machine

It anticipates your every need

With a rebus brain

I bought myself a machine

I can't be apart from it anymore

I take myself away from my machine

And I can't dream anymore

But I know the day will come

For sure I will take the zinc (console)

I will throw it far away from myself

So I don't see this junk anymore

I bought myself a machine

A machine that produces nothing

A cent-stealing gadget

There's no doubt that I needed it
