Poupée de cire, poupée de son [English translation]

I'm a wax doll

A straw doll

My heart is etched into my songs

Wax doll, straw doll

Am I better, am I worse

Than a fashion doll?

I see life in candy-pink

Wax doll, straw doll

My discs are a mirror

In which everybody can see me

I am everywhere at once

Shattered into a thousand shards of voice

All around me I hear laughter

The chiffon dolls

Those who dance to my songs

Wax doll, straw doll

They let themselves be seduced

For a yes, for a no

Love isn't only in the songs

Wax doll, straw doll

My discs are a mirror

In which everybody can see me

I am everywhere at once

Shattered into a thousand shards of voice

Alone, sometimes I sigh

I say to myself what's the point

To sing about love like this without a purpose

Without knowing anything about boys

I'm just a wax doll

Just a straw doll

Under the sunshine of my blonde hair

Wax doll, straw doll

But one day I will live out my songs

Wax doll, straw doll

Without being afraid of the heat of boys

Wax doll, straw doll
