Lyrics
I went to New York ’cause a man in a suit told me, “You’re gonna be a star”
– Mwen te ale Nan New York paske yon nonm nan yon kostim te di m, ” Ou pral yon zetwal”
I said, “Yeah, I know,” but it came out like, “What, who, me?”
– Mwen te di, “Wi, mwen konnen”, men li te soti tankou, “ki sa, ki moun, mwen?”
I took a walk on the beach, ’cause the guy doesn’t like me back
– Mwen te pran yon ti mache sou plaj la, paske nèg la pa renmen m tounen
Even though I’m gonna be a star, guess I don’t have it, guess I don’t have it after all
– Menm si mwen pral yon zetwal, devine mwen pa gen li, devine mwen pa gen li apre tout
But it’s okay, ’cause my life is so exciting
– Men, li nan oke, paske lavi mwen se konsa enteresan
Every night is like a party, ’cause I bit the bullet
– Chak swa se tankou yon pati, paske mwen mòde bal la
I’m finally watching Friends
– Mwen finalman ap gade Zanmi
“What took me so long?”
– “Ki sa ki te pran m’ konsa lontan?”
I say to no one, ’cause I’m alone all the time
– Mwen di pèsonn, paske mwen se pou kont li tout tan tout tan an
But now I’m never lonely, not since I met Joey
– Men kounye a mwen pa janm pou kont li, pa depi mwen te rankontre Joey
But when I turn the lights off, Joey doesn’t hold me
– Men Lè Mwen etenn limyè yo, Joey pa kenbe m
And in my darkest moment, I wonder if I met him out at a bar
– Ak nan moman ki pi nwa mwen, mwen mande si mwen te rankontre l ‘ soti nan yon ba
If he’d seen me, a perfect star, wanna take me home for that reason only
– Si li te wè m’, yon zetwal pafè, vle pran m ‘ lakay pou rezon sa a sèlman
‘Cause why else would you want me?
– Paske poukisa ou ta vle m?
I think I’ve got a fucked up face
– Mwen panse ke mwen te resevwa yon figi fonn moute
And that thought used to haunt me
– E panse sa a te konn pèsekite m
‘Til it fell in its sweet embrace
– ‘Jiskaske li te tonbe nan anbrase dous li yo
Now I don’t sweat the acne
– Kounye a mwen pa swe akne a
It’s a bitch, but it goes away
– Li se yon ti fi, men li ale
And who cares if I’m pretty?
– E ki moun ki pran swen si mwen bèl?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
– Mwen santi m Tankou Mwen Se Phoebe
I feel like it totally works
– Mwen santi tankou li totalman travay
When the blue in my skirt doesn’t work with the blue in my top
– Lè ble a nan jip mwen an pa travay ak ble a nan tèt mwen
And if I tried to be her, it’d fall so flat, you’d feel badly
– E si mwen te eseye pou li, li ta tonbe konsa plat, ou ta santi mal
And most of these days, I feel the dull ache
– Ak pi fò nan jou sa yo, mwen santi doulè a mat
But then I say, “Stop,” and then I feel great
– Men, lè sa a, mwen di, “Stop,” ak lè sa a, mwen santi m ‘ gwo
‘Cause it could be worse, I know, I know
– Paske li te kapab pi mal, mwen konnen, mwen konnen
Know it in the worst way
– Konnen li nan pi move fason
We rehearsed this, mm
– Nou te fè repetisyon sa a, mm
Everything’s okay
– Tout bagay anfòm
‘Cause my life is so enticing
– Paske lavi m se konsa atiran
In the corner, eating icing
– Nan kwen an, manje glasye
It’s a birthday party, these people aren’t my friends
– Se yon fèt anivèsè nesans, moun sa yo pa zanmi m
I’m thinking “So long,” amidst their deep talk
– Mwen panse ” Tankou lontan, ” nan mitan pale pwofon yo
‘Bout someone they didn’t invite
– ‘Sou yon moun yo pa envite
But I’d rather be lonely, counted out and homely
– Men, mwen ta pito pou yo te pou kont li, konte soti ak homely
I know that he’ll need me once he gets to know me
– Mwen konnen ke li pral bezwen m yon fwa li vin konnen m
Wonder when I’ll meet him
– Mwen mande lè mwen pral rankontre l
Wonder if he’s sitting there at a bar and if he likes ’em avant garde
– Mwen mande si li chita la nan yon ba et si li renmen ‘ em avant garde
Just what they told me
– Se sa yo te di m
‘Cause why else would you want me? (Want me, mm)
– Paske poukisa ou ta vle m? (Vle m’, mm)
I think I got a fucked up face (Oh)
– Mwen panse ke mwen te gen yon figi fonn moute (Oh)
And that thought used to haunt me (Haunt me)
– E ke panse itilize yo pèsekite m ‘(Pèsekite m’)
‘Til I fell in its sweet embrace (Uh-huh)
– ‘Jiskaske mwen te tonbe nan anbrase dous li yo (Uh-huh)
Now I don’t sweat the acne (No, woah)
– Kounye a mwen pa swe akne a (non, woah)
It’s a bitch, but it goes away (Oh)
– Li se yon ti fi, men li ale (Oh)
Who cares if I’m pretty?
– Ki moun ki pran swen si mwen bèl?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
– Mwen santi m Tankou Mwen Se Phoebe
I feel like a whole lot
– Mwen santi m tankou yon anpil antye
No, I’m good, thanks for asking
– Non, mwen bon, mèsi pou mande
That’d be awesome, but no worries if not
– Sa ta dwe kokenn, men pa enkyete si se pa
Best believe I can hack it
– Pi bon kwè mwen ka hack li
Check it out, I made it this far
– Tcheke li, mwen te fè li byen lwen tèlman
Had to dig deep inside me
– Te gen fouye byen fon anndan m
‘TiI I found what I was looking for
– ‘TiI mwen te jwenn sa mwen te kap chèche
It was right there inside me (Ah)
– Li te la anndan m (Ah)
It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (Beautiful)
– Li te bèl, bèl, bèl (Bèl)
Why else would you want me? (Want me, want me) (Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
– Poukisa ou ta vle m? (Vle m, vle m) (Bèl, bèl, bèl)
I think I got a fucked up face (Gorgeous, amazing)
– Mwen panse ke mwen te gen yon figi fonn moute (Gwo, etonan)
And that thought used to haunt me (Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
– E panse sa a te konn pèsekite m (Bèl, bèl, bèl)
‘Til I fell in it’s sweet embrace (Uh-huh)
– ‘Jiskaske mwen tonbe nan li dous anbrase (Uh-huh)
Now I don’t sweat the acne (No)
– Kounye a mwen pa swe akne a (Non)
It’s a bitch, but it goes away (Yeah)
– Li se yon ti fi, men li ale (Yeah)
Who cares if I’m pretty?
– Ki moun ki pran swen si mwen bèl?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
– Mwen santi m Tankou Mwen Se Phoebe
I feel like a whole lot
– Mwen santi m tankou yon anpil antye
