LITERAL TRANSLATION
*** UNOFFICIAL ***
I envy, the bubbles... of your soaps.I envy, your lovers... I envy your petticoats.
I envy, your sweaters... which smell good.
I envy, the days... when you tell him no!
Thursday it's nothing... I sleep here.
I "say ricule..", I don't know anymore what I say
Thursday it's "jennies..." for the "boys".
Ninepins / skittles, nothing but a stupid game!
It's too late! For the tale.
Much too late! I 'm fed up.
It's too late! If you leave,
because between us things were a bit strange.
I'm clearing off!
It's too late! To believe in it.
Much too late! Yes, I 'm fed up.
It's too late! If it's your "style"...
Or that of a pig, me I've no opinion.
You're stupid!
I envy, the notes... of your songs.
I envy, your pals... I envy your swearwords.
I envy, your "crazy"... intentions.
The envy takes off... when you tell me no.
Thursday it's detention... I'm leaving here.
I say: the school, doesn't know how I live!
Thursday it's the man... of my nights
Who flatters me... and who rejects me.
Calamity, calamity, ha-ha
Calamity, calamity, the life

J'envie, les bulles... de tes savonsJ'envie, tes jules... j'envie tes jupons
J'envie, tes pulls... qui sentent bon
J'envie, les jours... où tu lui dis non!
Jeudi c'est nul... Je dors ici.
Je "dis ricule..", je n'sais plus c'que j'dis !!!
Jeudi c'est "mules..." pour les "garçons"
Un jeu de quilles... rien qu'un jeu de con !
C'est trop tard ! Pour l'histoire
Bien trop tard ! J'en ai marre
C'est trop tard ! Si tu pars
Parce qu'entre nous c'était un peu bizarre ...
J'me barre !
C'est trop tard ! Pour y croire
Bien trop tard ! Oui, y'en a marre !
C'est trop tard ! Si c'est ton "art"...
Ou du cochon moi j'ai pas d'opinion.
T'es con !
J'envie, les notes... de tes chansons
J'envie, tes potes... j'envie tes jurons
J'envie, tes "folles"... intentions
L'envie décolle... quand tu me dis non.
Jeudi c'est colle... Je sors d'ici
Je dis : l'école, ne sait pas c'que j'vis !
Jeudi c'est l'homme... de mes nuits
Qui me cajole... et qui m'éconduit.
Calamity, calamity, han-han
Calamity, calamity, la vie

Envy, bubbles... tell me I'm wrongEnvy, troubles... whose heart you step on
Envy, doubles... whose scent upon
Envy, unsure... without you he's gone
Thursday is blue... I'm sleeping here
Say I'm a fool... I can't make it clear!!!
Thursday the rule... the boys have fun
You play your games... I know what goes on!
Gone too far! For your part
Much too far! Break my heart
Gone too far! If you depart
'Cos you think what we had was just bizarre...
No more!
Gone too far! In my heart
Much too far! Need a new start
Gone too far! You think you're "smart"...
your habits bore me I don't care it's gone
You're wrong!
Envy, I knew... your ev'ry song
Envy, your crew... for what you swear on
Envy, the fool... played too long
Envy, removed... say this can't go on
Thursday's a loss... won't need this key
You're not my boss, to live my life free
Thursday the cost... my nights to be
Melting frost... say no more to me.
Calamity, calamity, ah-ha
Calamity, calamity, for me
