Lyrics
Ta mère t’avais dit: «Demande ce soir à ton père»
Il a répondu non, évidemment, comme pour le scooter
T’as eu beau plaider que tes copines l’ont déjà depuis longtemps
«Le téléphone dans la chambre: c’est non !»
Tu quittes la table en hurlant, vivement que t’aies dix-huit ans
Ca y est ton père s'énerve, t’as gagné, tu peux être contente
«Avec ta mère, on se serre la ceinture toute l’année
Et mademoiselle en plus, voudrait une ligne privée !»
Tu claques la porte de ta chambre couverte d’autocollants
«Do not disturn» des hôtels accroché à la poignée
Tu sors de sa cachette, ton journal intime
Aussi bien planqué qu’un livre de fion dans la piaule d’un garçon.
Derrière la couverture, genre David Hamilton
Tu racontes entre deux larmes, qu’un jour tu vas fuguer
Tu sors d’une autre cachette, un paquet de cigarettes
Hyper light mentholées que tu fumes à la fenêtre.
Mais, il y a Ludovic, et il t’aime et tu l’aimes
Ca fera un an dans dix mois que vous sortez ensemble
Et même s’il a tellement de boutons, qu’on dirait un clafoutis
Tu peux trop rien dire… des boutons, t’en as aussi !
C’est vendredi dernier, que ta vie a basculé:
T’avais dit à ta mère que tu dormais chez Stéphanie
Manque de bol, Stéphanie a appelé:
Elle voulait savoir ce que tu faisais pour la soirée.
A cinq heures du matin, quand t’es rentrée sans bruit
Surprise ! Tes parents t’avaient attendue toute la nuit
Ils ont remarqué tout de suite que t'étais plus la même
Ta mère a pleuré: «Ma fille est une femme !»
Bizarrement, ils t’ont paru moins vieux
Mais toujours aussi cons: pas question de pleurer devant eux
Ta mère a demandé: «T'as pris tes précautions ?»
Ton père a crié: «Mais il s’est tapé ma fille ce p’tit con !»
Il a fallu vous mettre à deux pour l’désarmer
Il était encore furieux, mais ne parlait plus d’l'émasculer
Pour penser à autre chose il a rangé trois fois le garage
Il a tondu le jardin… et celui du voisin.
Lyrics translation
Your mother said, " Ask your father tonight»
He answered No, obviously, as for the scooter
Well, you had to argue that your girlfriends have been doing it for a long time.
"The phone in the room: it's no !»
You leave the table screaming, vividly that you are eighteen years old
That's it your dad gets angry, you win, you can be happy
"With your mother, we tighten our belts all year round
And mademoiselle besides, would like a private line !»
You slam the door of your room covered with stickers
"Do not disturb" hotels hanging on the handle
You're out of his hiding place, your diary.
As good as a book of ass in a boy's place.
Behind the cover, like David Hamilton
You tell between two tears, that one day you'll run away
You come out of another hiding place, a pack of cigarettes
Hyper light menthol you smoke in the window.
But, there's Louis, and he loves you and you love him
It'll be a year in ten months since you two date.
And even if it has so many buttons, it looks like a clafoutis
You can't say anything... buttons, too !
It was last Friday that your life turned upside down.:
You told your mother You Were Sleeping At Stephanie's.
Lack of bowl, Stephanie called:
She wanted to know what you were doing for the party.
At Five O'clock in the morning, when you came home without noise
Surprise ! Your parents had been waiting for you all night.
They noticed right away that you were more the same
Your mother cried: "my daughter is a woman !»
Strangely, they seemed less old to you
But still so stupid: no way to cry in front of them
Your mother said, " Did you take precautions ?»
Your dad yelled, " but he fucked my daughter that little prick !»
It took you two to disarm it.
He was still furious, but no longer talked about emasculating him
To think of something else he stowed away three times the garage
He mowed the garden... and the neighbor's.
