Je ne suis pas elle [English translation]

I know you pictured her

A lot more beautiful, her

A lot frailer, her

I know you'd like her better

If she was another age

A lot wiser

I know he'd have wanted to satisfy you so much

And to please you

I've put my skirts and my temper away

Nothing helped

I'm not her

That's what's bothering you

I'm not the one

You wanted him to love

I know you saw her

As more traditional, her

As less temperamental, her

I know you sae her

As more obedient

As less insolent

I know he'd have wanted to satisfy you so much

For you, his flesh

He left us, me and my temper

There's nothing left to do

I'm not her

That's what's bothering you

I'm not the one

You wanted him to love
