Michelle
| Mm-mm | Mm-mm |
| Mm-mm | Mm-mm |
| Mm-mm, mmm | Mm-mm, mm-mm |
| מישל זו אהבה רעילה, אני באפלה | Michelle, this is a toxic love, I'm in the darkness |
| איך השארת אותי בצל? | How did you leave me in the shadows? |
| כוכבת בלי תהילה | A star without fame, |
| משוגעת גדולה | A great madwoman |
| אני קם ונופל | I rise and fall |
| Oh, Michelle | Oh, Michelle |
| Je ne sais plus quoi faire | I no longer know what to do |
| Tu étais ma lumière | You were my light |
| Dieu j't'en supplie réveille-moi | God, I beg you, wake me up |
| J'ai plongé dans le noir | I plunged into the dark |
| Ramène-moi de l'espoir | Bring me back some hope |
| Et ma mademoiselle | And my mademoiselle |
| Alors je danse, danse avec les maux | So I dance, dance with the pain |
| Tu me verras rire, rire à nouveau | You will see me laugh, laugh again |
| T'es ma douleur, j'n'étais qu'un décor | You're my pain, I was only a decoration |
| J'ai crié, crié, crié | I screamed, screamed, screamed |
| Michelle | Michelle |
| Je te laisse partir, adieu ma belle | I'm letting you go, goodbye my beautiful |
| Je te laisse partir, mais je t'aime | I'm letting you go, but I love you |
| La reine des problèmes | The queen of problems |
| Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, Michelle | Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, Michelle |
| Aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye (Oh-oh, oh-oh) | Aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye (Oh-oh, oh-oh) |
| Aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye (Oh-oh, oh-oh) | Aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye (Oh-oh, oh-oh) |
| Walking down Florentin | Walking down Florentin |
| Ocean eyes, memories | Ocean eyes, memories |
| I (I), I'm losing my mind | I (I), I'm losing my mind |
| An angel, but is it hell? | An angel, but is it hell |
| Trapped in your carousel | Trapped in your carousel |
| 'Round and 'round ('Round and 'round) | 'Round and 'round ('Round and 'round) |
| Under your spell | Under your spell |
| Michelle (Michelle) | Michelle (Michelle) |
| Je te laisse partir, adieu ma belle | I'm letting you go, goodbye my beautiful |
| Je te laisse partir, mais je t'aime | I'm letting you go, but I love you |
| La reine des problèmes | The queen of problems |
| Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, Michelle | Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, Michelle |

| Ooh (Oh-oh, oh-oh) | Ooh (Oh-oh, oh-oh) |
| Ooh (Oh-oh, oh-oh) | Ooh (Oh-oh, oh-oh) |
| ואולי בסוף יהיה לנו טוב | And maybe in the end, things will turn out well for us |
| מתפלל עלייך שתזכי לאהוב | Pray on you that you will get to love |
| בין דמעה לדמעה יש מי שישמע | Between tear to tear, there is someone who will hear |
| יש מי שישמע | There is someone who will hear |
