Symphonie pour horloge cassée [English translation]

Sudden the cuckoo in my heart starts to sound

Very loud, louder as I’m having a fit

Until I thrash about all over the place on the ground, bouncing off things

My heart is crushed like a cherry.

I can only see fire*

In just a few steps I can get lost, far away

I can only see fire

In a few seconds I can get lost, far away, so far away.

The bells make

My eardrums burst, everything burst

I cover my mouth

And it’s even worse

The hands of the clock are going to cut my throat

This fiery taste on my palate

It’s like I’ve eaten a helicopter.

I’ve scared everyone.

She’s a fire girl!

I’m scared everyone

She’s a fire girl!

She’s a fire girl!

She’s a fire girl!

She’s a fire girl!

I wish I were a golden eagle, or a majestically cool seagull.

But I chose instead, without meaning to

To be a stressed canary tangled in my convulsions.

I wish I were but…

I’ve scared everyone.

She’s a fire girl!

I’m scared everyone

She’s a fire girl!

She’s a fire girl!

She’s a fire girl!

She’s a fire girl!
