Lyrics
Je savais bien, bébé, que c'était pas simple
Que j'étais couard, c’est vrai, et plein d’absinthe
Qu’il était tard, je sais, quand vint ta plainte
Mais qu'à moi, comparée, t'étais une sainte
Je savais bien, bébé, que t'étais trop belle
Lorsque tu t’effeuillais dans la nuit pâle
Jaloux du moindre pédé, du moindre cheval
Que tu montais, bébé, j’avais trop mal
Kétamine et cachets de Gardénal
Je te mens pas, bébé, je te trouvais sale
J'étais noué, j’avais un goût de sel
Le bonheur s’use, c’est vrai, dès qu’on l’appelle
Je savais bien, bébé, que tu étais d'équerre
Et de la tête aux pieds, Black &Decker
Tu avais la flamme sacrée et des Converse
Tu étais ma femme rêvée, ma fille de Perse
J’avais sans doute trop d’amour en moi
Tu étais sans doute beaucoup trop belle pour moi
J'étais Jaloux de tout, Jaloux de tout
Je savais bien, bébé, que tu étais fatale
Que tu allais déclencher l’assaut final
J’aurais dû m'épancher, passer à table
Mais j'étais dépassé et lamentable
J’ai rien compris, bébé, j’ai vu le mal
Partout, de tous côtés, lu ton journal
Partout j’avais des points de côté, des sueurs froides
Sitôt qu’un étranger semblait affable
Je me sentais laid, ouais, et incurable
Que je sois sobre, grisé, cuit comme une râble
Et j'étais comme froissé et comme maussade
Sitôt que tu parlais aux autres à table
Je savais bien, bébé, que c'était la guerre
Tu devais moins m’aimer, moins que naguère
Tu étais la plus belle des filles de la Terre
Tu oublieras mes baisers, mais pas l’enfer
J’avais sans doute trop d’amour en moi
Tu étais sans doute beaucoup trop belle pour moi
J'étais Jaloux de tout, Jaloux de tout
Jaloux de tout, j'étais Jaloux de tout
Tu disais souvent «Je vais te perdre un jour»
Je répondais tout le temps «Tu dis n’importe quoi, comme toujours!»
Tu disais parfois «Tu dis que du vent»
Je répondais toujours «Tu dis n’importe quoi, comme souvent!»
Avant
Avant, tu disais aussi «Tu vas t’en aller»
Je répondais «Jamais», toi, tu ne m’en voulais jamais
Puis tu disais «Mon grand, mon grand, refais-moi l’amour»
Je répondais jamais vraiment, mais on refaisait l’amour souvent
Avant
Je savais bien, bébé, que c'était morose
Qu’on avait sous le pied comme une rose
Qu’on faisait moins, c’est vrai, la chose
Que j’avais tant laissé des ecchymoses
Tu auras compris, bébé, que je m’en veux
Qu’en plus de tout gâcher, j’ai donné peu
J’avais un pull rayé Hedi Slimane
Tu étais ma vie rêvée, ma première dame
Mais j'étais Jaloux de tout, Jaloux de tout, Jaloux de tout
J'étais Jaloux de tout, j’avais sans doute trop d’amour en moi.
Lyrics translation
I knew it wasn't easy, baby.
That I was cold, that's right, and full of absinthe
That it was late, I know, when your complaint came
But compared to me, you were a saint
I knew you were too beautiful, baby.
When you were stripping in the pale night
Jealous of the least faggot, the least horse
That you were riding, baby, I was in too much pain
Ketamine and Gardenal pills
I'm not lying to you, baby. I thought you were dirty.
I was knotted, I had a taste of salt
Happiness wears out, it's true, as soon as it is called
I knew you were right, baby.
And from head to toe, Black & Decker
You had the sacred flame and converses
You were my dream wife, my daughter from Persia
I probably had too much love in me
You were probably way too beautiful for me.
I was jealous of everything, jealous of everything
I knew you were fatal, baby.
That you were going to trigger the final assault
I should have poured myself, come to the table
But I was overwhelmed and miserable
I didn't get it, baby, I saw the evil
Everywhere, everywhere, read your diary
Everywhere I had side stitches, cold sweats
As soon as a stranger seemed affable
I felt ugly, yeah, and incurable
That I am sober, grayed out, cooked like a grater
And I was as crumpled and as sullen
As soon as you talked to the others at the table
I knew it was war, baby.
You must have loved me less than you used to.
You were the most beautiful girl on Earth
You'll forget my kisses, but not hell
I probably had too much love in me
You were probably way too beautiful for me.
I was jealous of everything, jealous of everything
Jealous of everything, I was jealous of everything
You used to say, " I'll lose you someday»
I always said, " You say anything, as always!»
You used to say, " you only say wind»
I always said " you say anything, as often!»
Before
You used to say, "you're going to leave."»
I said, "Never," you never resented me.
And then you said, " My Big, my big, make love to me again»
I never really answered, but we made love again a lot.
Before
I knew, Baby, It was morose.
That we had under our feet like a rose
That we were doing less, it's true, the thing
That I had left so many bruises
You understand, baby, that I blame myself.
That in addition to spoiling everything, I gave little
I had a Hedi Slimane striped sweater
You were my dream life, my first lady
But I was jealous of everything, jealous of everything, jealous of everything
I was jealous of everything, I probably had too much love in me.
