Lyrics & Translation

[English]

She hates me.

Nigel.

And that's my problem, because?

Oh, wait, no, it's not my problem.

I don't know what else I can do, because if I do something right,

it's unacknowledged. She doesn't even say thank you.

But if I do something wrong, she is

vicious.

So quit.

What?

Quit.

I can get another girl to take your job in 5 minutes.

One who really wants it.

No, I don't want to quit.

That's not fair.

But I.

You know, I'm just saying that

I would just like a little credit for the fact that I am killing myself trying.

Andy, be serious.

You are not trying.

You are whining.

What is it that you want me to say to you, huh?

Do you want me to say “poor you”?

Miranda is picking on you.

Poor you. Poor Andy.

Hmm? Wake up, Six.

She's just doing her job.

Don't you know that

you were working at the place that published

some of the greatest artists of the century?

Halston, Lagerfeld, de la Renta?

And what they did, what they created

was greater than art.

Because you live your life in it.

Well not you, obviously, but some people.

You think this is just a magazine?

This is not just a magazine.

This is a shining beacon of hope for

oh, I don't know,

let's say a young boy growing up in Rhode Island with six brothers

pretending to go to soccer practice when he was really going to sewing class

and reading Runway under the covers at night with a flashlight.

You've no idea how many legends have walked these halls.

And what's worse.

You don't care because this place

where so many people would die to work, you only deign to work.

And you want to know why she doesn't kiss you

on the forehead and give you a gold star on your homework

at the end of the day.

Wake up, sweetheart.

Okay, so I'm screwing it up,

and I don't want to.

I just wish that I knew what I could do to...

Nigel.

Nigel.

No.
