Poupée Russe [English translation]

Tell me about your past,

That which made you who you are today

Tell me, I want to know it all

Knowing your Saturday night dates

You're from a family of six kids

And you had to play the role of a mom

When you would come home home, it would be a mess

Even though, it wasn't Saturday night

So tonight my Russian doll

This chorus is for you

In your past, there are more

Nothing but less, babushka [old woman]

Edith found her Marcel

And she never gave him up

A fantasy of Edith who was such a beauty, you're the one I love

You're the one I love, your grandmother and grandfather dance together

You're the one I love, your grandmother and grandfather dance together

Mom had a bad personality

Alone, she could have destroyed this world

Dad found shelter in his games

But at least he seemed to be happy

You, you had moved heaven and earth

For the happiness of your brother

But even though you only worked a short while

The salary was for you both

So tonight my Russian doll

This chorus is for you

In your past, there are more

Nothing but less, babushka [old woman]

Edith found her Marcel

And she never gave him up

A fantasy of Edith who was such a beauty, you're the one I love

You're the one I love, your grandmother and grandfather dance together

You're the one I love, your grandmother and grandfather dance together

You're the one I love, your grandmother and grandfather dance together

You're the one I love, without your grandmother nor you, I wouldn't be here.
