Elle etait nee dans la rue 
On croyait a son histoire 
Elle mettait son ame a nu 
Comme aujourd'hui les rock-stars 
 
She was born in the street  
We believed in her story  
She exposed her soul  
Like today's rock stars 
Sa carriEre c'etait sa vie 
Et tant pis si ca vous choque 
Si Piaf vivait aujourd'hui 
Sa (Vie en rose) serait en rock 
Et m&Ecicr;me son (Hymne a l'amour) 
Sonnerait au gout du jour 
 
He carreer was her life  
And even if you're shocked  
If Piaf was living today  
He "Vie en rose" would be rock  
And even her "Hymne a l'amour"  
Would sound to today's taste 
Piaf chanterait du rock 
Elle vivrait aujourd'hui 
Avec son epoque 
Piaf chanterait du rock 
Elle serait elle aussi 
Sous le choc 
De la musique rock 
 
Piaf would sing rock  
She would live today  
With her era  
Piaf would sing rock  
She would be too  
Under the impact  
Of the rock music 
Elle vivait au maximum 
Ses passions comme ses chansons 
Et quand elle aimait un homme 
L'univers savait son nom 
 
She would live at maximum  
Her passions as well as her songs  
And when she was in love with a man  
The whole universe knew his name 
Vous qui poursuivez son cri 
Remettez vos montres a l'heure 
Si Piaf vivait aujourd'hui 
Son (Cri du coeur) serait rockeur 
Elle hurlerait a pleine sono 
Son (Homme a la moto) 
 
You who are chasing her shout  
Put your watches back on time  
If Piaf would live today  
Her "Cri du coeur" would be rocker  
She would howl at full sound  
Her "Homme a la moto" 
Piaf chanterait du rock 
Elle vivrait aujourd'hui 
Avec son epoque 
Piaf chanterait du rock 
Elle serait elle aussi 
Sous le choc 
De la musique rock 
 
Piaf would sing rock  
She would live today  
With her era  
Piaf would sing rock  
She would be too  
Under the impact  
Of the rock music
