Polichinelle
Édith Piaf
Punch and Judy
Pull the strings
Pull the strings
Your Punchinello
Will reach out his arms to you
Turn the wand
And your puppet
Will tilt his head
And will smile at you
As long as your nimble fingers
Command my gestures
You don't care about the rest
It doesn't count
Pull the strings
And Punchinello
Will do as soon as possible
What you want
Pull the strings
Pull the strings
Your Punchinello
Will do a thousand turns
Will tell you: I love you
Will hide his sorrows
Will hide his hatred
Under the words of love
I will go into the world
So that you in the shadows
You have the triumph
To which you are entitled
Your Punchinello
Will be so zealous
As soon as we are seen
We will applaud you
Do you even know
Do I have a heart?
Do you even know
Do I have a soul?
It's not planned
In your program
Of magician
Pull the strings
Pull the strings
Punchinello
But be careful
Because it is possible
That I free myself
Invisible threads
Which bind me to you
Breaking the spell
I find a soul
I become a woman again
I'm becoming me again
You have to take advantage of it
We get tired quickly
And the day will come
Where it will break
Where it will break
Where it will break
