Je veux [English translation]

[Were you1 to] give me a suite at the Ritz, I don't want it

Jewelry from Chanel, I don't want it

Give me a limousine, what would I do with it?

Give me my own private staff, what would I do with it?

A manor house in Neuchâtel, it's not for me

Give me the Eiffel Tower, what would I do with it?

I want love, joy, good humor

It's not your money that'll make me happy

Me I'd like to die with my hand on my heart2

Let's go together discover my freedom

So forget your clichés

Welcome to my world

I'm fed up with your good manners, it's too much for me

Me I eat with my hands and I'm like that

I talk loudly and I'm straightforward, sorry

Over and done with hypocrisy, me I'm out of here

I'm fed up with the doublespeak

Look3 at me, in any case I don't hold it against you and it's [just] the way I am

I want love, joy, good humor

It's not your money that'll make me happy

Me I'd like to die with my hand on my heart

Let's go together discover my freedom

So forget all your clichés

Welcome to my world
