I need this song to be translated from French into English please! Every time I try to get it online, it comes out in gibberish. If possible, I need someone fluent to make sense of it! This is a song I may be singing with my friend in a performance, so please help me as soon as possible! Thank you!

Je Voudrais Dormir-Jeanne Cherhal

Je suis debout dans la cuisine et je ne pense à rien.
Enfin à rien, c'est difficile, même impossible.
Y a toujours un petit quelque chose qui vient on ne sait d'où,
Un détail sur le mur le papier peint, une parole pas digérée.
Quand on voudrait avoir la tête vide ça nous vient comme ça.
Je voudrais dormir.

Rough Translation:

Je suis debout dans la cuisine et je ne pense à rien.
I'm standing in the kitchen and thinking of nothing.

Enfin à rien, c'est difficile, même impossible.
In the end, nothing, is difficult, even impossible.

Y a toujours un petit quelque chose qui vient on ne sait d'où,
There's always a little something that comes from who-knows-where

Un détail sur le mur le papier peint, une parole pas digérée.
A detail on the wall the painted paper, a word not digested.

Quand on voudrait avoir la tête vide ça nous vient comme ça.
When we want to have our heads empty, it comes on that way.
(less literally: When we wish our heads were empty, it doesn't work out.)

Je voudrais dormir.
I want to sleep.

I am standing in the kitchen and thinking of nothing.
Well, nothing, it's hard, even impossible.
There is always a little something coming from who knows where.
A detail on the wall, the wallpaper, a word that still rankles.
When we want our minds to be empty, it just comes up.
I want to sleep.
