Pretty boy

Στίχοι τραγουδιού (Γαλλικά)
He said "care to dance?", thinking "it's in the bag".
But I won't dance to your tune1, you have no idea who you're messing with
I'll soon sort that out. About-face, march!2
I have no time for this, it's either love or war.
 
(pre-chorus)
Now tell me why you deny it. Tonight I'm your target
Now tell me why you deny it. It's too easy for you
 
(chorus)
Every night he used another name (he used another name)
Nothing but phoney promises (just phoney promises)
A kind of chameleon (chameleon)
His brains in his pants (his brains in his pants)
But he was a pretty boy (pretty boy)
Handsome boy (handsome boy)
He was a pretty boy (pretty boy)
was cute (dumb and cute)
 
Honest, I could have fallen for you, we know each other.
There will be no second chance, this time I'm ready to fight
You're wasting my time, just pay for my drink on your way out.
Cut the chatter, I'm out of it.
 
(pre-chorus)
 
(chorus)
 
That's how it goes3, you're bullshitting4 me crazy
That's how it goes, about-face, pretty boy.
That's how it goes, I won't be your puppet
That's how it goes, that's not for me, forget my name (yeah)
 
You have to put it behind you, pick another prey, Wolfy5
Forget this face, you won't get a thing.
No use in hurrying, not anymore.
Why "I follow you, you follow me"6? So drop dead.
 
(chorus)
 
Changing his name
Nothing but phoney promises
Chameleon
His brains in his pants
Pretty boy
He was a handsome boy
Pretty boy
Dumb and cute
 
  • 1. the original pun is on "I don't play"
  • 2. technically she says "switch into reverse" but since she uses military metaphors everywhere...
  • 3. based on this nursery rhyme
  • 4. "disquette" (floppy disk) is typical yoofspeak for "sweet talk"
  • 5. lit. "my wolf" but that's rather a sarcastic nickname
  • 6. that must be the twitter thing... The idea is that boys assume a girl must be attracted to them as soon as they are attracted to her

I love that you made it sound very natural in English. I’ve recently got into this site from finding a french song and thought it’d be a good way to practice french since I’m still a student.

His brains in his pants
You should use singular for brain.. and use the verb to express the action.. is .. always been
I am sure you exactly know what i mean
По русски, можно сказать что он не той головой думает

You could get away with either but I think I actually prefer 'brains' as it's a ... whatchacallit.. a metonymy for his thinking - his 'smarts' if you like (but brains is better)

(he thinks with his dick) :)

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Παρ, 23/03/2018 - 06:36

Well, they use brains, in plural, when they refer to some one famous and smart...

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Παρ, 23/03/2018 - 06:38

In real live, you have only one brain, r?

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Παρ, 23/03/2018 - 07:00

Well, in his pants can be “ only one brain” no offense to hombres

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Παρ, 23/03/2018 - 07:06

In his pants? Gray matter? Really?

LOL
men are from mars women are from venus
Hormones will not change it
And your translation is fine:)

You will not beat my stubbornness - you can have only one brain, the one in your pants don’t count LOL

I can't really see much to improve here - it's a smooth job.

Maybe just:
Every night he would use another name (he would use another name)

The 'would's feel a bit clunky - I'd just say "Every night he used..he used..." sounds fine. But you could have "he'd use" if you wanted to echo the imparfait in the French. Not really necessary though.

'a girl mut' would be a mongrel bitch ;)
It's in Footnote6. ;)
