English Translation of "Mon Ego" by M (Matthieu Chedid)

 M (Matthieu Chedid) - Mon Ego Lyrics

♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ 

Number one, I hold on, 
Like a dumb icon
With an aluminum look, 
A minimum, a minimum 

Megalomaniac costume 
Without even a melody, 
Satan temps me, but I escape in time, 
Right away… right away 

I’m going to have a few words… 
A few words with my ego!  

I’ve only thought about myself for months, 
Thought only about indulging myself*,
The slightest reflection for me 
The smallest puddle is for my face 

I’m going to have a few words… 
A few words with my ego!  

Right away!

♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪ 

*Right, so to “gaze at one’s navel” is indulge oneself or be egocentric or self obosessed. The literal translation of this line is “my navel turns from my eye”. So he’s gazing at his navel so much that his navel is looking away.
