Well, 'J'en ai marre' translates loosely as 'I have some enough', so my interpretation would be 'I get it often'...

J'en ai marre - I've had it up to here, I'm p'd off, etc. Not quite as strong as j'en ai plein le cul

Don't worry, that translation doesn't bear too much relation to the original...

Its a singing rant apparantly. She starts by saying she has very soft skin and she relaxes in a bath with bubbles (??) and then she she goes on to say is pissed off with all the negative people... and then my partner said its totaly crap and its not worth translating

A babelfish translation - I think it may have got the goldfish confused!

I'm fed up!

Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
My goldfish is under me
To bathe for hours
Makes my mouth water
I'm “foamely' ecstatic
It's not a problem
I lazy ‘round
Bubbly and stubborn

I lazy ‘round
Melon and water
Is just a dream
It makes me wonder
Is it a “sin' ?
Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
“Bombs', you keep away from me!
Today lying low
Twisting up my toes
I swim in such harmony
So what bothers me:

Chorus :
I'm fed up with loneliness
With my uncle overstressed
Fumbling, crawling for something
That never shows, just a dream.
I'm fed up with creeps crying
Over the past, such a sin
Not to be cool, but a fool
If I could mess up their rules.
I'm fed up with your complaints
Baby, well I'm not a saint!
Fed up with the rain, the plane…
That makes me throw up again.
I'm fed up with all cynics
Bathing caps and all critics
I'm fed up with being fed up! Poor me !

Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
My goldfish still under me!
Delight of pleasures
Aquatic treasures
A place out of misery, my fantasy

Right here's the translation from the only french speaking Brit here lol

I have soft skin
In my foam bath
I cause a splash and I laugh
My fish moves in my foam bath (must be a plastic fish I reckon)
I wrap up warm in my bubbles and tell it (the fish)
I have no problems, I am just laid back
I have no dizzy turns , I am just laid back
In the warm water I enjoy my bath, that's what counts
I am relaxed in these bad times

I have soft skin
In my foam bath
I blow bubbles which shadow like bombs
Everything is delightful
Delightful and docile
I make a list
Of annoying things that bug me

I've had enough of those who moan
Those who can manage only 2 miles an hour (metaphore of course)
Those who whinge and gets fixated
By only one fixed idea.

I've had enough of those who whine
Those extremists with bullets
Who see life as gloom and doom
They give me nightmares.

I've had enough of my older sister
Who moans and cries
Had enough of the rain and courgettes (any crap that rhymes lol)
Which make me throw up under my duvet (yeak)
I've had enough of cynics
Fed up with autumnal blues
I've had enough of being fed up too

I have soft skin
In my foam bath
No seismic shakes
I relax and loosen up
I feel so aquatic


ps:This was translated word for word to the best of my ability
