Mr/Mme [English translation]

Good evening Sir, Madame

Today, I will tell you everything

I prefer to speak to you using 'tu'

Because I don't like the 'vous'

I find that it ages you

And me, I want to stay little

A kid for life

No handkerchiefs, no cries

So, let's go! I'll tell you everything

About the drama that I'm living

Every day, in hell

Here is where I am

I want to get away

Escape far away from everything

In this crazy world

And leave, I don't know where to.

This world strangles me, crushes me and burns me

Destroys me, it stops me from living in my bubble

So, I want to get away

Far from everything, just run away

Let me run far away

Leaving this world for exile

If God says that suicide is a sin,

Let him say how to get away, without wronging him

Let him turn me into what the doctors call 'crazy'

And maybe then I will see in the blur

So, God

Help me, love me

Me, I can't do it

In this world that I see

In this world of struggles

Where man is nothing but a bully

Where love is nothing

But quarrels and disputes

I would like to write myself a world

A planet just for me

A planet where

I would feel like myself

A renewal, without chains

Deprived of hatred

A planet where

You would give me wings

A new universe

Where the tears, the sorrows

Would be nothing but a myth

A fucking urban legend

So, let me go

Tell me how to run away

Enough questions asked

Let me go, I want to leave everything

The only thing I like

In your creation of man

Is that we can dream each night, like kids

Whether we're old, young, evil

Kind, or even ugly

We have the right to dream, even with nothing in our pockets

Beggar, I beg the evening

I beg of hope

But the night is stingy

Madame keeps her morphine

Because I didn't pay

Or at least, not enough

Born of parents without fortune

She refuses me the moon

Since, of course, in this world

We can't live without these numbers

That your children transformed into evil monsters

Each month you win some

Each day you lose some

The bill is steep

I'm handing it in, I'm leaving hell

It's true, I may be defeated

I admit it, I shoulder it

Life is eating me up with a gross taste of bitterness

So, listen to me scream

Gush all my guts out

In this song that tells of the life of a pessimistic asshole

I feel fucking alone

No one is holding my hand

No one to share this fucking glory with

I walk alone on this path

Which seems to have no tomorrow

I'm speeding up but no one is waiting for me at the end

So, each night I drink

I get off my head

To forget that deep down

Success makes you lonely

Few friends, not much life

I'm sucked in

Lots of enemies, no more going out

God, I need a guide

Certain idiots will say that

I'm taking the piss, I'm exaggerating

But I don't give a shit about these assholes

I'm young and struggling

In my head, there is a mess

Who turned off the light?

Mama, I no longer see clearly

I need someone to light me up.

Firstly, there's happiness

When you give your heart

The opportunity to feast on the love

That soothes your pain

You forget your sadness

But really, it's only a lure

In this generation of assholes, full of liars

Once the heart is broken

There's no need to call it

Loneliness debarks

It comes to find you quickly

It doesn't wait for you to open up, no!

It enters without knocking

It feasts on your blues at 4 am

So you, who are you?

Deep down, do you know?

Because me, I no longer know who I am, I'm lost

My ambition is big

Hard to satisfy

My happiness has a bitter taste

So, sir, madame

I admit I'm unhappy

Yet I'm living my childhood dreams

But it's stronger than me

Something is still missing

This and that, over there

Always more, I'm like that!

But I hope that one day

I can make love

To someone sincere

Who won't play games with me

I've really had enough

Of giving without receiving

I'm sick of loving, me

Without a soulmate, it's hard

But know anyway

That on stage, thanks to you

I feel like I'm far away from this crazy world

Because I write when I fuck up

I laugh when I dance

I live when I sing

And for all of this, I tell you

Thank you.
