Moment de l'épisode : 24' Duel de divas entre Mercedes et Rachel

Version Tv :

Rachel

Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say
“Baby’s so sweet”

Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls
I can’t help it baby

So be kind
And don’t lose your mind
Just remember
That I’m your baby

Mercedes
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be

Rachel
And if you give a damn

Rachel & Mercedes
Take me baby or leave me

Rachel
Take me baby or leave me

Mercedes
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage
Baby, let’s have fun!

You are the one I choose
Folks would kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, now baby

So be mine
And don’t waste my time
Cryin’, “Oh Honeybear
Are you still my, my, my baby?”

Rachel
Take me for what I am

Mercedes
Who I was meant to be

Rachel & Mercedes
And if you give a damn

Mercedes
Take me baby or leave me

No way, can I be what I’m not

Rachel
But hey, don’t you want your girl hot?

Mercedes
Don’t fight, don’t lose your head

Rachel
‘Cause every night, who’s in your bed?

Rachel & Mercedes
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
(Who I was meant to be)
And if you give a damn
(And if you give a damn ya better)
Take me baby or leave me
(Oh take me baby, take me or leave me)
Take me baby
Or leave me

Guess I’m leaving
I’m gone!

Mercedes & Rachel
That’s it! The straw that breaks my back
I quit, unless you take it back
Women, what is it about them?
Can’t live with them or without them!

Take me for what I am

Take me baby or leave me
(Oh take me baby, take me or leave me)
Take me baby
Or leave me

Guess I’m leaving
I’m gone!

Traduction:

[Rachel]
Chaque jour
Je marche dans les rues
J'entends des personnes dire
"Chéri c'est si agréable"

Depuis la puberté
Tout le monde me regarde
Garçons, filles
Je ne peux pas aider, chéri

Alors soit gentil
Et ne perd pas ton esprit
Rappelle toi simplement
Que je suis à toi

[Mercedes]
Prends-moi pour ce que je suis
Qui j'étais fais pour être
[Rachel]
Et si tu t'en fous
[Mercedes et Rachel]
Prends-moi chéri ou laisse-moi
Prends-moi chéri ou laisse moi

Un tigre dans une cage
Ne peut jamais voir le soleil
Une diva a besoin de son stage
Chéri, ayons du plaisir

[Mercedes]
Tu es celui que j'ai choisi,
Des gens tueraient pour remplir tes souliers
Tu aimes les feux de la rampe aussi maintenant chéri

Alors soit mien
Et ne perds pas ton temps
Pleurant, "oh! Mon ours en sucre
Es-tu encore ma, ma, ma chérie?"

[Mercedes et Rachel]
Prends-moi pour ce que je suis
Qui j'étais fais pour être
Et si tu t'en fous
Prends-moi chéri ou laisse-moi

Aucune façon que je sois ce que je ne suis pas,
Mais, hey, ne veux-tu pas la fille sensationnelle?
Ne te bats pas, ne perds pas la tête?
Parce qu'à chaque nuit, qui est dans ton lit?

Qui, qui est dans ton lit?
Baiser, Pookie

C'est ça! La chaux qui me prise le dos
Je pars, à moins que tu le reprennes
Les femmes, qu'est-ce qui est à propos d'elles?
Je ne peux vivre avec elles ou sans elles!

Prends-moi pour ce que je suis
Qui j'étais fait pour être
(Qui j'étais fait pour être)
Et si tu t'en fous
[Et si tu t'en fous... c'est mieux)
Prends-moi chéri ou laisse-moi
(oh! prends-moi chéri, prends-moi ou laisses-moi)
Prends-moi
Ou laisses-moi.

Devine, je pars
Je suis partie!
