Piaf chanterait du rock [English translation]

She was born in1 the street

We believed her story

She laid her soul bare

Like the rock stars do today

Her career was all her life

And if that offends you, well, that's too bad

If Piaf was alive nowadays

Her "Vie en rose" would be rock

And even her "Hymne à l'amour"

Would sound 2 up-to-date

If Piaf sang rock music

She would be living

In accordance with her time

If Piaf sang rock music

She would also be

Shocked

By rock music

She lived at the maximum

Her passions as well as her songs

And when she loved a man

The universe knew his name

You who perpetuate her scream

Set your watches right

If Piaf had lived nowadays

Her "Cri du cœur" would be rock

That she would scream at the highest pitch

Her "Homme à la moto"

If Piaf sang rock music

She would be living

In accordance with her time

If Piaf sang rock music

She would also be

Shocked

By rock music
