Nurse

I need you like I need a nurse,
when I ask myself what the fuck am I doing here, and I stick my head for hours on the pillow,
paralyzed,
stunned,
capable of nothing.
 
I'm sick of pretending,
I'm sick of making like as if everything were picking
I can't listen to the sirens anymore, even through the double glazing.
 
One of the same and begin again?
I've decided to go out because I've had enough being at home,
I went to meet people in one of those crappy Irish pubs that can be found on big avenues.
 
At a table on my left there was a group of girls,
as well as one I fancied straight away.
She had a bit dull skin but with light brown hair,
or dark blond I never can tell.
 
But above all she had a sweet air, benevolent and serene,
As if she hadn't given up on anything,
as if she had never doubted the beauty of the world, nor the one of men
 
I made a couple of films, daring but nice,
I had to still and all establish contact
which is impossible to do in reality, we're made to believe it is in the movies,
but it's a big scam.
 
This brought me down again at once, I felt lonely, sad and tired.
I won't make it without you, I'll most likely be cashing in.
How is this going to end?
How am I going to make it?
 
I need you like I need a nurse,
to repair my head and my feelings that don't hold up well anymore
to replenish my stock of serotonin, to tell me that it's nothing.
I understood that you didn't want me at the moment,
but I'm forcing myself to believe that with time
you'll change your mind, and in my nights I'm still dreaming that you're taking me out dancing
until dawn.
 
[Chorus:]
With the music, we're coming and going,
moving away, and coming back.
Then you drop forward and I'm grabing you
I'm holding your fingertips again,
to bring you back against me.
With the music, we're coming and going,
Body against body, hand in hand.
Nothing exists anymore, less nothing than nothing
when I'm holding your fingertips again,
to bring you back against me.
 
I got jerked off my thoughts in the worst possible way:
A big pat on the shoulder, the thing I hate,
tossed by a kind of not very discreet rugby player,
a guy I knew only a little.
 
"Hey how's our artist doing?"
He said: "How 'bout them loves, and stuff?
Besides in concerts you'd better have fun, you bastard!"
The kind of things that make you straight off super comfy, that bring you a bit closer to the eunuch in his harem.
I told him that it's either a total myth or between me and my
ace buddies I'm rubbing shoulders with.
Evidently, he got down picking on me,
he told me that this isn't possible,
that I have a problem, that I'm batting for the other side.
 
Poor fellow, if only you knew how many times have I asked myself this
question, honestly.
Is he fucking around with me?
Why since there's one who's nice over there, am I supposed to make a move running?
 
This brought me down again at once,
I felt lonely, sad and tired.
I won't make it without you, I'll most likely be cashing in.
How is this going to end?
How am I going to make it?
 
I need you like I need a nurse,
to tell me I'm out of danger
that my condition is going to improve,
to run your hand through my hair,
to take my life in your hands to make it somewhat better.
I understood that you didn't want me at the moment,
but I'm forcing myself to believe that with time
you'll change your mind, and in my nights I'm still dreaming that you're taking me out dancing
until dawn.
 
(chorus)
 
I need you like a cigarette or a drink every time I have to go out in the crowd.
I'm telling myself that maybe it isn't like this,
that there must be something else.
so far I haven't found that many reasons to exist.
and I need to believe in something profound, solid.
I need a hope to carry me through.
I'd like to make a permanent and sublime effort,
I'd like to be by your side, simple as that
so that life would never be able to get us on our knees.
 
I need you like I need a nurse,
to help me finding my sleep,
to wake up with in white sheets,
to tell me that this was but a bad dream,
that all this is behind me now.
I understood that you didn't want me at the moment,
but I'm forcing myself to believe that with time
you'll change your mind, and in my nights I'm still dreaming that you're taking me out dancing
until dawn.
 
(chorus)

I would translate "Je me sues fait tirer de mes pensees" by "I got jerked off my thoughts" - it keeps the possible double entendre, but with the direct meaning of snapping back to reality.

Excellent translation otherwise!
