Ta femme [English translation]

It is already a quarter past eight

You will be late again

Arrange the collar of your jacket

Brush the fair hair which remains

I am always there when you want

Do not assume this unhappy air

She could as well make a drama of it

Your wife

You will return to your house

To watch the television

After 5 years of common life

You support her

She accustoms herself

Hide from him your bad mood

Think of bringing flowers to him

Even if at times you condemn it,

Your wife

Near me you come to seek

Pretenses of stolen happiness

But as soon as you have troubles

It is with her that you entrust them

This communion of every day

It is a form of the love

She is much more than Marie-Jeanne

Your wife

Of course you do not want to acknowledge it

But you are full with prejudices

As soon as you leave my arms

You become again a small middle-class man

To give you confidence in you

At the heart, if it doesn’t displease you

To see her laying down the weapons

Your wife

Me, I am that which you wish

For your pride and your pleasure

I would like it better quite simply

To be the mother of your children

If it is believed that I have the beautiful role

It is she who sleeps against your shoulder

In the final analysis, I wonder

If is not better for you to return

To your wife
