Tradaptation de « Je me suis fait tout petit » de Georges Brassens en anglais (I became childlike)
I ‘d never taken off my hat in front Of anyone But now I crawl and I beg to confront Her one on one I was a mean dog but now I break bread Inside her hand I had wolf teeth but now I’ve exchanged them For baby fangs I became childlike in front of a doll Who shuts her eyes when put to bed I became childlike in front of a doll Who says mommy when touched her head I was a badass but she converted me By cunning tricks And I felt ablaze with warmth and fiery Facing her lips She reveals her baby teeth while smiling When she ‘s singing She bares her wolf-like teeth when she's boiling When she is mean I became childlike in front of a doll Who shuts her eyes when put to bed I became childlike in front of a doll Who says mommy when touched her head I submit to her law I am affable To a control And although she is jealous beyond all Even dreadful A beautiful figure stood by my side Prettier than her A beautiful figure who one day died I remember I became childlike in front of a doll Who shuts her eyes when put to bed I became childlike in front of a doll Who says mommy when touched her head All the sleepwalkers all the mages have Warned me decent In the cradle of her crossed arms I'll have My last torment Varies between difficult and easier I take a stand Whether I hang myself here or elsewhere If I must hang I became childlike in front of a doll Who shuts her eyes when put to bed I became childlike in front of a doll Who says mommy when touched her head
