Lyrics & Translation

[English] Give me a suite at the Ritz, I don't want it
Jewelry from Chanel, I don't want it
Give me a limousine, what would I do with it? (Pa-pala, pa-pa-pala)
Offer me staff, what would I do with it?
A mansion in Neuchâtel, that’s not for me
Offer me the Eiffel Tower, what would I do with it? (Pa-pala, pa-pa-pala)
(Cha-lapapa-dapa-papa-lapa-lapa-ladee-dada-papa)
I want love, joy, good humor
It’s not your money that’ll make me happy
I want to die with my hand on my heart (pa-pala, pa-pa-pala)
Let’s go together and discover my freedom
So forget all your clichés
Welcome to my reality

I’m tired of your polite manners, it’s too much for me
I eat with my hands, and that’s just how I am
I speak loud and I’m honest, excuse me
No more hypocrisy, I’m out of here
I’m fed up with sugarcoating
Look at me, anyway I don’t hold anything against you, that’s just how I am

That’s just how I am (Pa-pala, pa-pa-pala)
I want love, joy, good humor
It’s not your money that’ll make me happy
I want to die with my hand on my heart (pa-pala, pa-pa-pala)
Let’s go together and discover my freedom
So forget all your clichés
Welcome to my reality

I want love, joy, good humor
It’s not your money that’ll make me happy
I want to die with my hand on my heart (pa-pala, pa-pa-pala)
Let’s go together and discover my freedom
So forget all your clichés
Welcome to my reality
I want love, joy, good humor
It’s not your money that’ll make me happy
I want to die with my hand on my heart (pa-pala, pa-pa-pala)
Let’s go together and discover my freedom
So forget all your clichés
Welcome to my reality
