Les Hommes Que J'aime [English translation]

I'd like to tell you

About the men I love

Those who have embraced me

At the edge of Seine

Where I was going to throw myself

Thrown by a queen

I had loved

More than the men I love

They have broken faces

You should see them at dawn

When they lie down so astonished

By the world that surround them

They go, they come, they trail along/ drag

They speak loudly or they don't say a word

They hear/listen to Carmen

Who says to them: "Hey! Come here!"

And every time they go

And they come back

Between an angel and a demon

That's how I love the men I love

Refrain

They are like Don Juan

They know about heartaches

About friendships, survivors

Who celebrate your coming back

And when a tragedy happens

No one is touched/hurt

They receive feminine forenames

And they kiss themselves on the mouth

Today it's my turn

I saw the edge of Seine

And I screamed: "Help! "

That's how the men I love love me

Refrain

And I raise my heart

To the cordiality of these louts

They bring me luck

Tonight I have an appointment

And I'll go just the way I am

No, I won't change a thing

All my madness

The fire from my hands/palms

My shameless love

My love that rages

And even if it's scary

That's how the men I love love

I'd like to tell you

About the men I love

Those who have embraced me

At the edge of Seine

Where I was going to throw myself

Thrown by a queen

I had loved

More than the men I love
