LITERAL TRANSLATION
*** UNOFFICIAL ***
Often I change tack / tone
To the thunderstorm
Life capsizes / overturns
At the margin
A difficult girl
Some fire beneath the eyelashes
Out of tune
An uncontrollable girl
But when you write to me
Listen, come back, pardon, you know, I love you, forget
I believe in it, I forget
Is is necessary to confiscate me?
To capture me?
Is is necessary to escape [from] me?
Is is necessary to love me?
Often [I'm] rebellious
To regrets
And [a] runaway
To [from?] regret
An uncontrollable girl
Some fire beneath the eyelashes
Sometimes guilty / at fault
A difficult girl
And if I go away
I still live in your arms, your voice, your times, your heart
Like a remorse[-ful person]
Is is necessary to confiscate me?
To trick [ward-off / avert] me?
Is is necessary to escape [from] me?
Is is necessary to love me?
Is is necessary to confiscate [seize] me?
To capture me?
Is is necessary to escape from me?
Is is necessary to love me?
ORIGINAL LYRICS 1

Souvent je vire
A l'orage
La vie chavire
A la marge
Une fille difficile
Du feu sous les cils
Désaccordée
Une fille indocile
Mais quand tu m'écris
Ecoute, reviens, pardon, tu sais, je t'aime, oublie
J'y crois, j'oublie
Faut-il me confisquer ?
Me capturer ?
Faut-il m'échapper ?
Faut-il m'aimer ?
Souvent rétive
Aux regrets
Et fugitive
A regret
Une fille indocile
Du feu sous les cils
Parfois fautive 2
Une fille difficile
Et si je m'en vais
J'habite encore tes bras, ta voix, tes heures, ton coeur
Comme un remords
Faut-il me confisquer ?
Me conjurer ?
Faut-il m'échapper ?
Faut-il m'aimer ?
Faut-il me confisquer ? 3
Me capturer ? 3
Faut-il m'échapper ? 3
Faut-il m'aimer ? 3

*** UNOFFICIAL ***
Often I steer
Stormy bays
Way out unclear
In a daze
I say what I feel
No love unless real
Doubt not's my way
I feel if it's real
Your promise to me
Hear me, come back, pardon, explain, with love, not see
No doubt, set free
Must I be your keepsake?
Need me to stay?
Must fly slip away?
Love me always?
Often no fear
Rosy haze
I'm running clear
Far-off days
I feel if it's real
No love unless real
Faultless maybe
I say what I feel
And if I break free
I'll breathe in your embrace, your words, your time, your heart
Coming no more
Must I be your keepsake?
Cheat me to stay?
Must fly slip away?
Love me always?
Must I be your keepsake?
Need me to stay?
Must fly slip away?
Love me always?
