Genius Translations
Les Soeurs Boulay - Mappemonde (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
You'll never introduce me to your mother
Nor your friends, not even the guy you live with
It’s not that you're not proud
But they wouldn't understand

I’ll never kiss you on the subway
I'll patiently wait for blackouts at the cinema
I won't circle
Any dates on the calendar

[Chorus]
But allow me to speak of you
When alcohol has undressed me
Don't laugh if I check my emails
At every hour of the day

Look at me when you hold me
Understand that I want to stay
Even if it's written on a world map
That I'll never be your girlfriend

[Verse 2]
Think of me without counting the days
Without counting the turns of my heart flipping upside down
Release your fingers
From the handbrake

I never wanted to be yours
Do what you want, but leave me your favourite spot
Come back in the morning
To tell me everything

[Chorus]
But allow me to speak of you
When alcohol has undressed me
Don't laugh if I check my emails
At every hour of the day

Look at me when you hold me
Understand that I want to stay
Even if it's written on a world map
That I’ll never be your girlfriend
