Sympathique [Je ne veux pas travailler] [English translation]

My room is in form of a cage

The sun pops his arms through the window

The hunters at my door *(1)

like the little soldiers

Who wants to take me (away)

Chorus:

I don't want to work

I don't want to do lunch *(2)

I only want to forget (it)

And on I smoke

I've already been acquainted with the perfume of love

A million roses wouldn't smell so sweet *(3)

Now one single flower in my surroundings

Leaves me sick

Chorus:

I am not proud of this life that

Wants to kill me

It's magnificent to be sympathetic *(4)

Yet I will never understand (it).
