Mes Défauts Lyrics in English Superbus

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mes Défauts by Superbus from French to English.
Think about getting up earlier
For that, I don't have time
Think about telling you you're handsome
For that, I don't have time
Loving, giving too much
I don't have time
Do everything by the book
Think about wrapping it all up faster
For that, I don't have time
Think about telling you 'I'm leaving you'
A bit less often
Flirt, be seduced
I don't have time
Play music
For that, I've got time
Those are my flaws
I'm not available
A bit of a bullsh*tter, a bit megalomaniac
All my flaws
I'm self-centered
I've got ego, it drives people nuts
Think about talking to you about me
For that, I don't have time
Slot you into my planner
Into my schedule
Spend time with you
Pass the time
Go to the movies
Think about going on vacation
For that, I don't have time
And diving into finance
I don't have time
Sexy when I dance
I don't have time
Play all over France
That, I've got time for
Those are my flaws
I'm not available
A bit of a bullsh*tter, a bit megalomaniac
All my flaws
I'm self-centered
I've got ego, it drives people nuts
Then I leave and I come back
And I call you
Only when I'm not okay
Then I leave and I come back
And I call you
Only when I need to
Those are my flaws
I'm not available
A bit of a bullsh*tter, a bit megalomaniac
All my flaws
I'm self-centered
I've got ego, it drives people nuts

SONG MEANING

Ever feel like your planner is bursting at the seams? In Mes Défauts ("My Flaws"), Superbus turns that chaotic energy into a playful confession. The singer rattles off everything she "doesn’t have time" for: waking up early, folding clothes, watching movies, even saying "I love you." Instead, she gleefully admits she would rather make music, tour the country, and dance. With a wink, she lists her faults—being unavailable, a bit of a mytho (fibber), slightly megalomaniac—yet owns them with catchy hooks and irresistible confidence.

Beneath the bubbly pop-rock beat lies a relatable message: we all juggle priorities and sometimes let ego or ambition take the driver’s seat. The song playfully reminds listeners that acknowledging imperfections is the first step toward self-acceptance. It’s a cheeky anthem for anyone who has ever said, “Sorry, I can’t… I’m busy being me!”
