Paroles et traduction Charlotte Gainsbourg - I'm a Lie

I'm a Lie

J'entretiens l'inconfort à l'allure qui dort
Grace à lui contractant
Chaque muscle de mon corps
Je tiens encore un peu
Ce cul entre deux sorts
Mon embarras, c'est moi
J'ai les tempes aux abois
A l'appetit frustré
Faussement effarouchée
Mon incommodité
Fidele intimidé
Plus facile de subir
Je m'installe sans pudeur
Face à mes repentirs
Vieux tracas, tendres peurs
Why do you say you're a lie?
You're a lie?
Why can't you say who you are?
Who you are?
Balance mon désarroi
Mes indigestes toutes
Je bois mon embarras
Dans la cuvette des chiottes
Je consume le malaise
Au bord de la syncope
Incertitude cruelle
Faiblesse intellectuelle
A jamais reservé
A toute heure timorée
Mon incommodité
Ma dessert et pourtant
Je revais bien d'excés
De fantasmes indécents
Sous mon air retenu
Discret et bienséant
Why do you say you're a lie?
You're a lie?
Why can't you say who you are?
Who you are?
When do you play if I may?
If I may?
Is there a way to defy?
To defy?

I'm a Lie

I keep the discomfort at a sleeping pace
Thanks to him contracting
Every muscle in my body
I'm still holding on a little longer
This ass between two spells
My embarrassment is me
My temples are barking
With a frustrated appetite
Falsely startled
My inconvenience
Faithful intimidated
Easier to endure
I settle in shamelessly
In the face of my regrets
Old worries, tender fears
Why do you say you're a lie?
You are you?
Why can't you say who you are?
Who you are?
Settle my dismay
My indigestion
I drink my embarrassment
In the toilet bowl
I consume the malaise
On the edge of fainting
Cruel uncertainty
Intellectual weakness
Forever reserved
At all hours, timid
My inconvenience
My dessert and yet
I dreamed of excess
Of indecent fantasies
Beneath my restrained appearance
Discreet and well-behaved
Why do you say you're a lie?
You are you?
Why can't you say who you are?
Who you are?
When do you play if I may?
If I may?
Is there a way to defy?
To defy?
