Poupée de cire, poupée de son [English translation]

I am a wax doll

A rag doll

My heart is engraved in my songs

Wax doll, rag doll

Am I better or worse

Than a fashion doll?

I see life in candy-pink

Wax doll, rag doll

My disks are a mirror

In which everyone can see me

I'm everywhere at once

Shattered in a thousand shards of voice

All around me I hear the laughing

Of chiffon dolls

Those who dance to my songs

Wax doll, rag doll

They let themselves be seduced

For any reason or no reason at all

Love isn't just in songs

Wax doll, rag doll

My disks are a mirror

In which everyone can see me

I'm everywhere at once

Shattered in a thousand shards of voice

Alone, I sometimes sigh

I say to myself "what good is it?"

Singing about love like this

Without knowing anything about boys

I'm just a wax doll,

A rag doll

Under the sunshine of my blonde hair

Wax doll, rag doll

But one day I will live out my songs

Wax doll, rag doll

Without fearing the heat of boys

Wax doll, rag doll
