Une petite Française [English translation]

I'm not Marilyn, I don't like the night

And in the magazines I don't read my life

I'm a provincial, I didn't read Pascal

I have a normal life, it's almost original

A little Frenchwoman born in Provence

When she was fifteen, she came to Paris

She married singing, didn't change her name

And there she is, in front of you today

A little Frenchwoman born in Provence

Ran away far from her children's games

Was she right to leave her home

To stand in front of you today?

I'm not an idol who is loved and destroyed

I always live my roaring twenties far from Paris

And without having a Rolls, I believe there's no better

When I see some kids playing around me

A little Frenchwoman born in Provence

When she was fifteen, she came to Paris

she married singing, didn't change her name

And there she is, in front of you today

A little Frenchwoman born in Provence

Ran away far from her children's games

Was she right to leave her home

to stand in front of you today?
