You have given

You promised me
And I believed you
 
You promised me the sun in winter and a rainbow
You promised me golden sand; I got a post card
You promised me the sky, the earth, and a life of love
You promised me your heart, your laugh
But I had grimaces
 
You promised me
And I believed you
 
You promised me the winged horse that I never had
You promised me the thread of Ariane, but you cut it
You promised me the notes of Mozart, not broken dishes
You promised me I'd be your queen
I had for a sceptre a brush
 
You promised me
And I believed you
 
You have given...
You have given...
 
I don't know what happened
But I know why they call me
"Miss Unlucky"
You promised me, you promised me
You promised me
 
You have given...
You have given...

- Tu est foutu = you're screwed (although it can also be taken here as "you're history", "you're dumped", whichever)
- Mais j'ai eu = But I got
- que j'ai jamais eu = that I never got
- J'ai eu pour sceptre un balai = I got a broom for a sceptre
- ce qui se passe = what's happening
