The Metamorphosis of Mister Cat

La Métamorphose de Mister Chat

Yesterday, I talked to a witchHier, j'ai parlé avec une sorcière
We discussed football and poetry, yesterdayOn a discuté football et poésie, hier
Then I told her that I would like her to teach mePuis je lui ai dit que j'aimerai qu'elle m'apprenne
To snatch her mini-mini-mini-mini behindA kidnapper son mini-mini-mini-mini derrière
So she turned me into a cat just like thatAlors elle m'a transformé en chat comme ça
Small striped redhead with broken teeth, like a alley catPetit roux tigré les dents cassés, genre chat de gouttière
Since then I walk on the roofsDepuis je me promène sur les toits
I shout:Je crie:
'It's me, it's me'"C'est moi, c'est moi"
You don't recognize me, no!Vous ne me reconnaissez pas, non!
Even my friends shout at me:Même mes amis me crient:
'Shut up cat, shut up cat, shut up cat'"Ta gueule le chat, ta gueule le chat, ta gueule le chat"
With its little flowering trees,Avec ses petits arbres en fleur,
I felt like climbing into her arms, thereJ'ai eu envie de lui grimper dans les bras, voilà
-You should have started with that,-Tu aurais dû commencer par ça,
You should have been wary of me,Tu aurais dû te méfier de moi,
You should have stopped scrutinizing the hazelnutTu aurais dû arrêter de scruter la noisette
That serves as my mouthCelle qui me sert de bouche
Here you are with a cat face,Te voilà avec une gueule de chat,
Balancing on the roofsA funambuler sur les toits
With the moon as a bedside lamp,Avec la lune comme lampe de chevet,
And no one to let you in.Et personne pour te laisser rentrer chez toi.

It's hard to be a cat in this damn town!It's hard to be a cat in this fucking town !
And I can fly through the treesAnd I can fly through the trees
And you can see my eyes through the nightAnd you can see my eyes through the night
Like car lightsLike lights of a car
And I look at my bed through the windowsAnd I look at my bed through the windows
I recognize the pillow and I dream about yourI recognize the pillow and I dream about your
Little head sleeping on.Little head sleeping on.

It's hard to be a cat in this damn town!It's hard to be a cat in this fucking town !
So hard to be a cat in this damn town!So hard to be a cat in this fucking town !
So hard to be a cat in this damn town!So hard to be a cat in this fucking town !
It's hard to be a cat in this damn town!It's hard to be a cat in this fucking town !
