Translation of ''Toi Pour Moi'' by Clarika


Song: Toi Pour Moi (You For Me)
Artist: Clarika 

Always link back if you repost somewhere else, and comments are appreciated. 

Note: This song is FILLED with references, ranging from geographical, musical, literary, political, to the names individuals, and all of these include both historical and contemporaneous citations. 
If you have any questions about any of the references, I would be more than happy to answer them, but I frankly don't feel like adding a gigantic addendum to the translation without reason.

You're my key ring, my belt, 
My laptop, my bag of tobacco,
You're my turtleneck, my shoes,
You're the table beneath the gloves at my fingertips,
You're my Pléiade, my collector,
My all the members of the Rolling Stones,
You're my Barbados, my son of Hector,
My Paris-plage, my flora, my fauna, 
You're my Delon in the Sicilian,
My Celine Dion at the Stade de France
You're my call to arms, 
My commander in chief, my Miss France

You're you for me 
From me to you 
It's everything for you 
Us for everything 
Hey hey
Me without you
My self dedication 
Come on 
Me of the month
- Well, are you listening to me or what?

You're my Thema, my clips of clips,
My JT, my Micheal Drucker
My Che Guevara, my Oedipus, 
My fortnight of good business, 
You're my Carrefour wine fair,
My Paris International Agriculture Show, 
My guestbook, my Pearl Harbor, 
My first architecture prize,
You're my Kamasutra tock, 
My Albert Jacquart, my Goncourt,
My atchikatchikatchik ayayaye,
My Hiroshima, my love

You're you for me 
From me to you 
It's all for you 
Us for all 
Hey hey 
Me without you 
My self dedication 
Come on 
Me of the month
- Ah, you get on my nerves 

- This is serious, you know! 

You
For me 
It's us – Uh, I don't know how 
For all  

You're the bumper of my Twing
You're my air-condition on all floors 
My sunset in Rio
You're my wheels beneath my baggage 
You're my self-serve buffet 
My July 14th at the Champs 
My Brel my Brassenns my Ferré
My ''I love you'' all the time 

You're you for me 
From me to you 
It's all to you 
Us for all 
Hey hey 
Me without you 
My self dedication 
Come on 
Me of the month
- It's a force!

You're my key ring, my belt, 
My laptop, my bag of tobacco,
You're my turtleneck, my shoes,
You're the table beneath the gloves at my fingertips,

You're you – you – you 
- It's huge, it's... 
You're everything 
-It's violent, it's... 
Hey hey
You 
Me
Us 
It's, eh, - it's, is
Everything 
-But so strong, so...
