La menteuse [English translation]

Well I do lie, passionately

To my friends, to my parents

To the shopkeeper, to Sir the agent

I lie so much, it is embarassing

I pretend I knew Brad Pitt

By the way, he hasn't such a big...

Anyway, had I known, wouldn't've come

Moreover, isn't that handsome when naked

To my friends, I just lie

My lovers, I taught them everything

In the end, Johnny told me*

"I love you so

You've got talent, heh !"

Oh, me ? Really ! Oh, thanks !

Well I do lie, since I don't know when

I thought "Better pretending

Than being taken for a saphead"

I pretend I'm Mitterand's other daughter**

And to fuel the myth

I'm the one who dumped Johnny Depp

Well, he'll get over it, he's a big boy !

He was fawning, he was boring !

To my friends, I just lie

My lovers, I taught them everything

And even if it's not very nice

I don't see how to do otherwise !

Of course, all things considered, it's not easy

Not to lose the thread

At times, I'd like to flee, go away from here

To be alone on an island

Well I do lie, but not to you

Cause with you, I wanna speak about me

I hope you won't do like the others

Who are laughing and pointing at me

Well I lie, even if you don't really like it

You all, who act like you didn't know anything

At least, now, it's give-and-take

I'm not the only one who's pretending

To my friends, I just lie

My lovers, I taught them everything

And even if it's really crazy

I promise, I can't help it

Of course I know, I'm not stupid

But, at the very least, fragile

And I might

End up in the loony bin !

Arrrr ! I don't want to go there ! It stinks !

Leave me alone, don't touch me !

Rrrrrr !

{Scat:}

Well I do not lie since this morning

Since I've gained ground

I thought it really sucked

And above all that it makes no sense

All is left for me is to call all my buddies

In order to become more popular

And we'll be laughing as before

Before I made them waste their time

To you my friends, I just lie

To my lovers I taught them everything

In the end, so it is, that's my life

I don't see how to do otherwise !
