Ordinaire [English translation]

I'm a very ordinary girl

Sometimes, I don't want to do anything

I'd make music, having a drink

With my mother, my sisters, my brothers

But I have to think about my career...

I'm a popular singer

You see me as a goddess

I'm a woman, not a princess

If I can make a confession...

It's when I sing that I feel best

But this is a dangerous profession

The more you give, the more the world wants

One day, when I'll have become too weary

I'll think about giving up my place

I'll bid the world farewell, with class

Hoping to leave a mark

And to carve, for life, in your hearts

Nothing but love and happiness

I love my fellow man, I love my public

All I want is for it all to work

I couldn't care less about criticism

When I sing, it's for the public

I'm not a circus animal

MY life is music!

If I sing, it's to be heard

When I cry out, it's to defend myself

I'd like to make myself understood

I'd like to go around the world

Before dying and being buried

To see what the rest of the world is like

Around me is war

Fear, hunger, and misery

I'd like for us all to be brothers

That's why we're on this earth

I'm not just a popular singer

I'm nothing but perfectly ordinary woman

Ordinary
