[English]
That man you see there
Who seems so gallant
So attentive and arrogant
I know him like I know myself
That man you see there
Who pretends to be divine
So friendly and effusive
Only knows how to make you suffer
He is a great fool
A stupid conceited man
Selfish and capricious
A vain clown
Unconscious and presumptuous
A false, resentful little man
Who has no heart
Full of jealousy
Without reasons or motives
Like the wind, impetuous
Seldom affectionate
Insecure about himself
Bearable as a friend
Unbearable as a lover
That man you see there
Who seems so kind
Generous and pleasant
I know him like I know myself
That man you see there
Who seems so sure
Of stepping well in the world
Only knows how to make you suffer
He is a great fool
A stupid conceited man
Selfish and capricious
A vain clown
Unconscious and presumptuous
A false, resentful little man
Who has no heart
Full of jealousy
Without reasons or motives
Like the wind, impetuous
Seldom affectionate
Insecure about himself
Bearable as a friend
Unbearable as a lover
He is a great fool
A stupid conceited man
Selfish and capricious
A vain clown
Unconscious and presumptuous
A false, resentful little man
Who has no heart
Full of jealousy
Without reasons or motives
Like the wind, impetuous
