Lyrics
J’en ai assez
De me balancer
Sous ma potence
Sous ma potence
J’en ai assez
Du vent d’t
Oui me balance
Qui me balance
J’en ai assez
De voir la femme
Du drapier
Oui fait semblant
De me plaindre
En souriant
Aux soldats
Elle qui disait
J’aime trop
Mon drapier
Pour que je sois
Ta reine
Pour que tu sois
Mon roi
J’en ai assez
De voir
Les corbeaux
Qui me surveillent
Oui me surveillent
J’en ai assez
De voir
Mes bourreaux
Qui s’ensommeillent
Qui s’ensommeillent
J’en ai assez
De voir la femme
Du drapier
Qui fait semblant
De pleurer
En souriant
Aux soldats
Elle qui disait
J’aime trop
Mon drapier
Pour que je sois
Ta reine
Pour que tu sois
Mon roi
J’en ai assez
De tirer la langue
A ma pauvre mre
A ma pauvre mre
Et j’en ai assez
De tirer la langue
Aux anges noirs
De Lucifer
De Lucifer
J’en ai assez
De voir la femme
Du drapier
Qui fait semblant
De prier
En riant aux soldats
Elle qui disait
Tant qu’il y aura
Le drapier
Je ne pourrai
Rien pour nous
Je ne pourrai rien
Pour toi
J’en ai assez
De tendre le cou
Vers les nuages
Vers les nuages
J’en ai assez
De tendre le cou
Vers son visage
Vers son visage
J’en ai assez
De voir la femme
Du drapier
Qui ne fait plus
Semblant de rien
Et qui s’offre
Aux soldats
Elle qui disait
Quand tu auras
Tu le drapier
Je t’offrirai
Le septime ciel
Eh bien
M’y voil dj
J’en ai assez
De me balancer
Sous ma potence
Sous ma potence
Elle peut crever
La femme du drapier
Je m’en balance
Je m’en balance
Je m’en balance
Je m’en balance
Lyrics translation
I've had enough
From swinging
Under my gallows
Under my gallows
I've had enough
T wind
Yes swing me
Who swings me
I've had enough
To see the wife
From the drapier
Yes pretend
To complain
Smiling
To the soldiers
She who said
I love too much
My drapier
For me to be
Your queen
For you to be
My king
I've had enough
To see
Raven
Who are watching me
Yeah, they're watching me.
I've had enough
To see
My executioners
That are sunny
That are sunny
I've had enough
To see the wife
From the drapier
Who pretends
From crying
Smiling
To the soldiers
She who said
I love too much
My drapier
For me to be
Your queen
For you to be
My king
I've had enough
Pulling the tongue
To my poor mother
To my poor mother
And I've had enough
Pulling the tongue
To the Black Angels
Lucifer
Lucifer
I've had enough
To see the wife
From the drapier
Who pretends
To pray
Laughing at the soldiers
She who said
As long as there is
The drapier
I can't
Nothing for us
I can't do anything
For you
I've had enough
From stretching the neck
Towards the clouds
Towards the clouds
I've had enough
From stretching the neck
Towards her face
Towards her face
I've had enough
To see the wife
From the drapier
Who no longer does
Pretending to be nothing
And who offers
To the soldiers
She who said
When you have
You drape it
I'll offer you
The seventh heaven
Well
M'y voil dj
I've had enough
From swinging
Under my gallows
Under my gallows
She can die
The drapier's wife
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
