Moi... Lolita

Me, my name is Lolita
Lo or Lola
It’s all the same really
Me, my name is Lolita
When I dream of wolves
It’s Lola who’s bleeding
When my tongue forks, I have at that
moment a fit of giggles, as crazy
as a phenomenon
My name is Lolita
Lo of life, lo with
   the torrential loves


It's not my fault
And when I give my tongue to the cats
I see the others
All set to throw themselves at me
It's not my own fault
If I hear all around me
Hello, helli, t'es A (L,O,L,I,T,A)
Moi... Lolita

Me, my name is Lolita
High school student in stockings
[the colour of] Methylene blue
Me, my name is Lolita
Quick-tempered and not
Half-cotton, half-wool
Keep it quiet who’s not to tell
Mum that I
   am a phenomenon
My name is Lolita
Lo of life, lo with
   the torrential loves

Moi... Lolita

Moi je m'appelle Lolita
Lo ou bien Lola
Du pareil au même
Moi je m'appelle Lolita
Quand je rêve aux loups
C'est Lola qui saigne
Quand fourche ma langue, j'ai là
Un fou rire aussi fou
Qu'un phénomène
Je m'appelle Lolita
Lo de vie, lo aux
   amours diluviennes

C'est pas ma faute
Et quand je donne ma langue aux chats 1
Je vois les autres
Tout prêts à se jeter sur moi
C'est pas ma faute à moi
Si j'entends tout autour de moi
Hello, helli, t'es A (L.O.L.I.T.A.)
Moi... Lolita

Moi je m'appelle Lolita
Collégienne aux bas
Bleus de méthylène
Moi je m'appelle Lolita
Coléreuse et pas
Mi-coton, mi-laine
Motus et bouche qui n'dis pas
A maman que je
Suis un phénomène
Je m'appelle Lolita
Lo de vie, lo aux
   amours diluviennes.

Moi... Lolita

Me, my name is Lolita
Lo maybe Lola
Depends how I'm feeling
Me, my name is Lolita
When I dream of you
Say Lola, my baby
Oh for me you long, I laugh
Don't fool me, I tease
You can't win so easy
Yes my name is Lolita
Loving life, my love
Flows over and over


It's not my fault, yeah!
Surrendering they long for me
I watch the others
To prey or so it seems to me
It's not my fault you see
Surround me too, lie true to me
Hello, I leave, take off!
Moi... Lolita

Me, my name is Lolita
Juvenile or not
I know what I'm feeling
Me, my name is Lolita
Call me sharp perhaps
I'm not silk, no plaything
More to say than this we can't
Don't tell mum that I
Tease one or another
Yes my name is Lolita
Loving life, my love
Flows over and over
