Lyrics and translation London Theatre Orchestra & Cast - I Am What I Am - From "La Cage Aux Folles"
I
am
what
I
am
Je
suis
ce
que
je
suis
I
am
my
own
special
creation.
Je
suis
ma
propre
création
spéciale.
So
come
take
a
look,
Alors
viens
voir,
Give
me
the
hook
or
the
ovation.
Donne-moi
le
crochet
ou
l'ovation.
It′s
my
world
that
I
want
to
take
a
little
pride
in,
C'est
mon
monde
dont
je
veux
être
un
peu
fier,
My
world,
and
it's
not
a
place
I
have
to
hide
in.
Mon
monde,
et
ce
n'est
pas
un
endroit
où
je
dois
me
cacher.
Life′s
not
worth
a
damn,
La
vie
ne
vaut
rien,
'Til
you
can
say,
"Hey
world,
I
am
what
I
am."
Jusqu'à
ce
que
tu
puisses
dire,
"Hé
le
monde,
je
suis
ce
que
je
suis."
I
am
what
I
am,
Je
suis
ce
que
je
suis,
I
don't
want
praise,
I
don′t
want
pity.
Je
ne
veux
pas
de
louanges,
je
ne
veux
pas
de
pitié.
I
bang
my
own
drum,
Je
frappe
mon
propre
tambour,
Some
think
it′s
noise,
I
think
it's
pretty.
Certains
pensent
que
c'est
du
bruit,
je
trouve
ça
joli.
And
so
what,
if
I
love
each
feather
and
each
spangle,
Et
alors,
si
j'aime
chaque
plume
et
chaque
paillette,
Why
not
try
to
see
things
from
a
diff′rent
angle?
Pourquoi
ne
pas
essayer
de
voir
les
choses
d'un
angle
différent
?
Your
life
is
a
sham
'til
you
can
shout
out
loud
Ta
vie
est
une
imposture
jusqu'à
ce
que
tu
puisses
crier
à
haute
voix
I
am
what
I
am!
Je
suis
ce
que
je
suis !
I
am
what
I
am
Je
suis
ce
que
je
suis
And
what
I
am
needs
no
excuses.
Et
ce
que
je
suis
n'a
pas
besoin
d'excuses.
I
deal
my
own
deck
Je
distribue
mon
propre
jeu
Sometimes
the
ace,
sometimes
the
deuces.
Parfois
l'as,
parfois
les
deux.
There′s
one
life,
and
there's
no
return
and
no
deposit;
Il
n'y
a
qu'une
vie,
et
il
n'y
a
pas
de
retour
ni
de
dépôt ;
One
life,
so
it′s
time
to
open
up
your
closet.
Une
vie,
il
est
donc
temps
d'ouvrir
ton
placard.
Life's
not
worth
a
damn
'til
you
can
say,
La
vie
ne
vaut
rien
jusqu'à
ce
que
tu
puisses
dire,
"Hey
world,
I
am
what
I
am!"
“Hé
le
monde,
je
suis
ce
que
je
suis !”
