Ton invitation [English translation]

I mistakenly accepted your invitation

I must have misunderstood the circumstances, got' the time wrong1

Y'a know, I thought - you were the one who never smiles

but who's obviously pretty,

And if she's pretty, she's for me!

You know, I'm not entirely sane

If I am always right

You know, I'm not a nice guy

And I do fuck up and all

You know, I got no confidence

And I don't trust myself2

Y'a know, I got no hope

And I do fuck up and all

If you want, we'll talk 'bot you

If you want, we'll talk 'bot me

Let's discuss your upcoming revenge

the one you will have on me

intersperced with awkward silence

Ain't we all alone for once

getting ready for some dancing

But it won't go further, y'a see

I mistakenly accepted your invitation

I must have misunderstood the circumstances, got' the time wrong3

I mistakenly accepted your invitation

I must have misunderstood the circumstances, got' the time wrong3

It just remains to be seen

if we'll map out things in our space4

Y'a know, I'm not entirely sane

Yes, I am always right5

You know, I'm not entirely sane

Yes, I am always right

You know, I'm not entirely sane

Y'a know, I am always right

You know, I'm not entirely sane

1. lit. "I must have gotten the time wrong, I must have gotten the season wrong" - "se gourer" and "se planter" being slang verbs meaning "to make a mistake" or "get something wrong"2. can also be understood as "You know, I don't trust, I don't trust myself"3. a. b. lit. I must have gottent the time wrong, I must have messed up the season4. lit. "All that's left to know is whether we'll draw a line, a dot in our space" It is already quite puzzling in the original, so rendering it in any other language proves difficult5. could be either "Si, j'ai toujours raison" or "T'sais, j'ai toujours raison" in the original - either "Yes, I am always right" or "Y'a know, I am always right"
