Lyrics

Moi quand je l’ai vu nue
j'étais comme un soldat
paralysé de peur au moment du combat
comme un homme animal
planté devant sa proie
et qui rentre ses crocs
mais qui la croquera
je n’osais pas toucher
pourtant j’avais le droit
à cette peau brulée
par le vent de là-bas
et le vent me criait
attention attention
elle est trop jeune tu sais
et toi trop vieux garçon
et le vent me hurlait
attention attention
tu sais c’qui s’est passé
c’est elle qui m’a violé
comme un adolescent
rangez vos caméras
et vos boites à peinture
vous allez regretter
toutes vos impostures
regardez elle est là
en t-shirt et en jeans
vous avez devant vous
la femelle divine
quand je parle trop fort
et je l'écorhe un peu
elle va se caher
derrière ses cheveux
et le vent me criait
attention attention
elle est trop jeune tu sais
et toi trop vieux garçon
et le vent me hurlait
attention attention
tu sais c’qui s’est passé
c’est elle qui m’a violé
comme un adolescent
(Merci à MarcG pour cettes paroles)

Lyrics translation

Me when I saw her naked
I was like a soldier
paralyzed with fear at the time of the fight
like an animal man
planted in front of its prey
and who fits his fangs
but who will eat it
I didn't dare touch
yet I had the right
to this burnt skin
by the wind over there
and the wind was screaming at me
attention attention
she's too young, you know.
and you too old boy
and the wind was screaming at me
attention attention
you know what happened?
she raped me.
as a teenager
store your cameras
and your paint boxes
you will regret
all your impostures
look, she's here.
T-shirt and jeans
you have in front of you
the divine female
when I speak too loud
and I skin it a little
she's gonna fall asleep.
behind her hair
and the wind was screaming at me
attention attention
she's too young, you know.
and you too old boy
and the wind was screaming at me
attention attention
you know what happened?
she raped me.
as a teenager
