I am a doll of wax

A doll of sound*

My heart is etched in my songs 

Doll of wax, doll of sound 

Am I better, am I worse 

Than a mannequin 

I just see the good, sweet life**

Doll of wax, doll of sound

My disks are a mirror 

In which every person can see me 

I am everywhere at once 

Shattered in a thousand splinters of voice 

Around me I hear laughter 

The rag dolls 

Who dance to my songs 

Doll of wax, doll of sound

They let themselves be seduced 

For a yes, for a name***

Love isn't what's in the songs 

Doll of wax, doll of sound

Only sometimes I sigh 

I tell myself what good 

Is singing without love, without reason, 

Without even knowing boys 

I am only a doll of wax

A doll of sound 

Under the sunshine of my blond hair 

Doll of wax, doll of sound

But one day I will live out my songs 

Doll of wax, doll of sound

Without being afraid of the warmth of boys

Doll of wax, doll of sound

Here's a short list of the entendres: 

*This phrase could also literally mean a doll of sawdust, which is an early form of ragdoll commonly made for children. It can also be thought of to mean “singing doll”.
**The phrase used is akin to "seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses"

***”Pour un oui, pour un non” (which sounds like the lyrics, "pour un oui, pour un nom") literally means “for a yes, for a no”, and indicates a question or action that someone doesn't really think or care about. So the lyrics are intended to reflect that these girls are seduced by an acceptance, or simply a name of someone, without thinking.
