princesse_incongrue: Florent Mothe looking over his shoulder, singing, pain on his face (emo salieri)


Florent Mothe: That’s the director… of Mode d’Emploi!

Die Frau voiceover: Florent came in with a pretty good amount of ideas; he wanted to illustrate a lot of his songs.  I think it’s a very good idea to have this portrait of him with a black eye that says that we’re in a complicated time for men, where a man has to be macho and at the same time sensitive enough to understand what their girlfriends and friends want, you know? 

Die Frau to Florent: Good, like that but less pained, because I'm just a pig, all you have to do is beat me up!

Die Frau voiceover: It’s funny because Florent is a very handsome man, but he let us put the black eye on him willingly.  A lot of artists aren’t like that; they only want to show us their best side.

Here are my attempts at transcribing the lyrics:
 
J’arrive pas à dire au revoir
Les yeux dans les yeux
Dans le noir sans ton regard
Je saurais peut-être mieux
M’en veux pas
Si je te parais lâche
Pour tout ce que je gâche
Je me dis parfois
C’est par peur d’être heureux

(Refrain)
Je ne sais pas parler d’amour
Je ne sais pas demander pardon
J’ai toujours peur d’être en dessous
Que tu m’ais attendu
Et puis t’avoir déçu
Il faudra toujours entre nous
Ne pas tricher ni se mentir, non
Mais au fond de toi saurais-tu
Me dire en face que
Que tu ne m’aimes plus?

Je n’arrive pas à m’en aller
À me dire que ça serait mieux
Je ne peux pas
Laisser les bras
Et encore moins baisser les yeux
M’en veux pas
Si je manque de courage
Si je rêve d’autres voyages
Si à chaque fois
Je ne fais que m’enfuir
 
I can’t bring myself to say goodbye
Eye to eye
In the dark without your gaze
Maybe I have a better idea how
Don’t be mad at me
If I seem lazy
For everything I mess up
Sometimes I tell myself
It’s out of fear of being happy

(Refrain)
I don’t know how to talk about love
I don’t know how to ask forgiveness
I’m afraid of being beneath
What you expected of me
And then to have disappointed you
The two of us should never
Cheat or lie to each other, no
But at your core would you know
How to tell me face to face
That you don’t love me anymore?

I can’t make myself leave
Or tell myself that that would be better
I can’t
Drop my arms
Or even lower my gaze
Don’t be mad at me
If I don’t have enough courage
If I dream of other journeys
If every time
I just run away
