Vald – Jolie fleur Lyrics (English Translation)
[Chorus: Georges Brassens]
A pretty flower in a cow’s skin
A pretty cow disguised as a flower
Who plays the beauty and ties you up
Then leads you by the tip of the heart
[Verse 1: Vald]
It’s true I said “Become great”
And then I stayed normal
It’s true I said “Ah yeah yeah yeah”
When in fact I’m always saying no
I said “Above all, thank God”
When in fact I don’t believe in it
I pretended in the callback
Actually I remember nothing
I said “I feel like Superman”
And then I’m barely a Pensionman
I never dreamed of being a footballer
It wasn’t even seen in the video
I said I was an Anunnaki
Obviously I don’t believe it
I was lying in “I Still Love You”
Obviously I only love myself
[Chorus: Georges Brassens]
A pretty flower in a cow’s skin
A pretty cow disguised as a flower
Who plays the beauty and ties you up
Then leads you by the tip of the heart
[Verse 2: Vald]
I said “This world is very cruel”
And then it stayed just the same
I brought back politeness
And there’s even less respect
I said “Must not give up”
And finally I’m quitting rap
I try pop and techno
And finally it’s just Vald
I compared myself to a peon
I compared myself to a rentier
I compared myself to a demon
When in fact I take it on myself
I pretended “Low Reflections”
When it never flies very high
Palapapap, palapapap, palapapap, palapapap
[Outro: Vald & Georges Brassens]
Palapapa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa (A pretty flower, a-a pretty flower)
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa (A pretty flower in a cow’s skin)
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa (A pretty flower, a-a pretty flower)
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa (A pretty flower in a cow’s skin)
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa (A pretty flower, flower, flower, flower, flower, flower, flower, flower, flower)
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa (A cow’s skin)
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa (A pretty flower, a-a pretty flower)
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa-pa (A pretty flower in a cow’s skin)
