La Parisienne
Zaz
The Parisian Woman
When I arrived
In the capital
I wanted to become
A femme fatale
But I didn't drink
I didn't do drugs
And I had no complexes
I'm way too normal
It annoys me
I'm not Parisian
It bothers me, it bothers me
I'm not trendy
It's distressing, it's distressing
No eccentricities
It bores me, it bores me
Not the slightest affectation
I'm not in tune
I'm not a vegetarian
It bothers me, it bothers me
I'm not a karateka
It puts me in a bind
I'm not a cinephile
It's silly, it's silly
I'm not a feminist
I feel like I'm being blamed
Being blamed
Soon I got to know
A group of friends
Living in a community
In the same bed
Since I didn't drink
I didn't do drugs
And had no complexes
I think they were left
Quite perplexed
I'm not a nymphomaniac
I'm blamed, I'm blamed
I'm not a transvestite
It harms me, it harms me
I'm not a masochist
It exists, it exists
To fulfill my destiny
I'll see the doctor
I'm not schizophrenic
It bothers me, it bothers me
I'm not hysterical
It's getting complicated, it's getting complicated
"Oh!" says the psychoanalyst
How sad, how sad
I tell him: "I despair
I have no perverse tastes
No perverse tastes"
"But yes", says the doctor
As he dresses
"After this first attempt
It's encouraging
If you don't drink
You don't do drugs
And have no complexes
You have an obsession
It's sex"
Since then I'm in fashion
I'm getting used to it, I'm getting used to it
In the beds of Saint-Germain
It's divine, it's divine
I'm part of the elite
It goes fast, it goes fast
And I give myself joyfully
While doing yoga
I watch horror movies
I boast about it, I boast about it
While holding tightly the hand
Of the neighbor, of the neighbor
Knowing I'm original
I gallop, I gallop
I embrace my libido
I go flirt on a bike
Now I'm Parisian
I overwork myself, I overwork myself
And I know distress
And the blues and stress
Finally in ecology
I'm getting initiated, I'm getting initiated
And far from pollution
I'll shear my sheep
And far from pollution
I'll shear my sheep
And far from pollution
I'll shear my sheep
My sheep
My sheep
My sheep
