Mon ami [English translation]

If she strokes you cheeks with her fingertips

If she kisses the eyelids

Of your eyes, reddened by all those years of fighting

My friend

If she whispers gently in your ear

That she loves you as you are

And that she’ll take all that you are

My friend

Believe her if you can

It might be that she’s sincere

It might be that she’s sincere

My friend

If she promises to take action

To rip out your eyes

And then your cock with her teeth

My friend

Don’t move a muscle

Keep your nose clean

Or make a run for it, and don’t turn back

My friend

Because, you’d best believe her

It could be that she’s sincere

It could be that she’s sincere

My friend

If you come home one evening

Worn-out from a job

Which only helps you follow the crowd

My friend

If you find this note

Scratched on the table like this

“You’re not so young anymore, and neither am I

Got to get a move on, goodbye forever my dear”

Believe her if you can

It could be that she’s sincere

It could be that she’s sincere

My friend

So, pour yourself a stiff one

And tell yourself that in time

You could have died from love

No longer
