Beauty is Within Us [French translation]

Oh mother dear

Look what you've done

To your forlorn and once beloved son

Why was I born at all?

Oh mother dear

I'm such a freak

A mutant man, a woman underneath

Why was I born at all?

It's you I blame for all the shame

This anguish and this aching

The mirror turned against the wall

Myself despised, forsaken

Chorus:

You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"

"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"

You say, "beauty is within us, so let it grow"

But it's grown so dark and ugly

Oh mother dear

I curse you so

For breathing life into your wretched son

Why were you born at all?

Oh mother dear

I love you so

Oh please forgive this anger in my soul

Without you I'm alone

It's me who's been eternally damned

Trapped inside this cage, a ruined man

All damaged and depraved

Oh mother dear

This misery

Has settled like a stain upon my skin

A vast unspoken sin

And my mistake is much too late

But your mistake was trusting

That out of grief, a goodness comes

And love comes out of lusting

Chorus:

You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"

"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"

You say, "beauty is within us, so let it grow"

But it's grown so dark and ugly

You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"

"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"

You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"

But it's grown so dark I can not see you anymore

"Oh beauty is within us, mother knows"

"Oh beauty is within us, like a rose"

"Oh beauty is within us, let it grow"

Mother dear, let me out of here!
