Translation of the song lyrics Favourite Song - Vincent Delerm, Neil Hannon

Favourite Song (original)

I was a fan and I still really am
Singing along to my favourite song
Greatest thing I’ve heard
But I didn’t get a word
J’ai écouté toutes ces chansons françaises
Je ne savais pas ce qu’est une javanaise
Un poinçonneur des lilas
Ça veut dire quoi
I studied the booklet and searched for a sign
Made up a meaning for every line
And a four letter word
L.o.v.e
J’ai écouté allongé sur mon lit
Avec le temps alors tout s'évanouit
C’est quoi un cheval fourbu
J’ai jamais su
Oh mon amour
Je t’aime toujours
Tu es partie
Mon bonheur aussi
I was a fan and I still really am
Singing along to my favourite song
Une poupée de cire
Qu’est-ce que ça voulait dire

Favourite Song (translation)

I was a fan and I still really am
Singing along to my favorite song
Greatest thing I've heard
But I didn't get a word
I listened to all these French songs
I didn't know what a javanaise is
A puncher of the lilacs
What does it mean
I studied the booklet and searched for a sign
Made up a meaning for every line
And a four letter word
L.o.v.e
I listened lying on my bed
In time then everything fades away
What is a lazy horse
I never knew
Oh my love
I love you forever
You're gone
My happiness too
I was a fan and I still really am
Singing along to my favorite song
A wax doll
What did that mean
