Vertaling
Pirate teen girl
A bit tipsy, I wander
along the subway lines.
A sunset without a hero
Loneliness in the rear mirror
I put out my dogend
in the heart of the labyrinth1
With glassy eyes
I cast them mean glances2
A bit tipsy without an ID number
I roam the dead of night
I consume a happiness
that I'm losing without even noticing
My head spins as I shake my hips
I smile except on Sundays
My heart is like a seesaw,
switching from dreams to nightmares.
My hopes are shattering
A pirate teen girl
On the asphalt beaches
I get away every night
I'm on a trip, a trip, a trip, a trip
I'm on a trip, a trip, a trip, a trip
I don't listen to these leopards anymore
as they serve me their lies
from under their biker jackets,
their elbows propped on the counter.
I put out their ego.
I don't like their stares anymore.
My heart is like a seesaw,
switching from dreams to nightmares.
My hopes are shattering
A pirate teen girl
On the asphalt beaches
I get away every night
I'm on a trip, a trip, a trip, a trip
I'm on a trip, a trip, a trip, a trip
I'm on a trip, a trip, a trip, a trip
I'm on a trip, a trip, a trip, a trip
I get bored in expectation
I destroy what entices me
I'm just a typical girl my age
tumbling down the slope.
I'm just a peeping tom
I'm just a loony3
And if I skid out of the curve
you can count me out4
My hopes are shattering
A pirate teen girl
On the asphalt beaches
I get away every night
I'm on a trip, a trip, a trip, a trip
I'm on a trip, a trip, a trip, a trip
My hopes are shattering
A pirate teen girl
On the asphalt beaches
I get away every night
I'm on a trip, a trip, a trip, a trip
I'm on a trip, a trip, a trip, a trip
- 1. lit. "onto the heart of the labyrinths" (as if she actually squashed her dogend onto a heart). That is probably a pun on "coeur des halles", a kind of marketing denomination for an underground shopping mall in the center of Paris (les Halles) with a huge métro station that is possibly the ugliest and most unwelcoming place in the whole city: a gigantic, noisy, crowded underground labyrinth with massive pillars blocking the view and incredibly confusing direction signs.
- 2. lit. "I machinegun them" :)
- 3. she uses two hard to translate metaphors here: "the eye on the crack" as a peeping tom spying on his victims, and "the finger on the temple" as a sign for lunacy
- 4. lit. "add my name to the list of missing people"

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Sta achter Oekraïne!
Not half bad, really. Like a diamond in the rough, she might eventually shine.
