|
| Est mis à mal et confronté

|
| Au masculin inadapté

|
| Elle rêvait d’infini
| She dreamed of infinity
|
| D’immensité pour deux
| Huge for two
|
| Regardait les étoiles
| looked at the stars
|
| Et soupirait des vœux
| And sighed wishes
|
| Elle voulait avant tout
| Above all, she wanted
|
| Vieillir auprès de lui
| grow old with him
|
| Gagner le pari fou
| Win the crazy bet
|
| De l’aimer toute une vie
| To love her for a lifetime
|
| Il voulait lui offrir
| He wanted to give her
|
| Tout l’or de l’univers
| All the gold in the universe
|
| Il parlait de trésors

|
| Enfouis au fond des mers

|
| Ce rêve inassouvi
| This unfulfilled dream
|
| De puissance et de gloire
| Of power and glory
|
| Dressé entre elle et lui
| Standing between her and him
|
| A gâché leur histoire
| ruined their story
|
| Lui pauvre Béotien
| He poor Boeotian
|
| N’avait rien compris
| Didn't understand anything
|
| Mais toujours sûr de lui
| But still sure of himself
|
| Imposait son avis
| imposed his opinion
|
| Arrachait sans regret
| Snatched without regret
|
| Les ailes des papillons
| butterfly wings
|
| Quand l’enfant s’attardait
| When the child lingered
|
| Au fond de sa raison
| Deep in his sanity
|
| Elle a fait le vide
| She made the void
|
| Dans son cœur, dans sa tête
| In his heart, in his head
|
| Elle a repris ses fêtes
| She resumed her parties
|
| Ses voyages, ses comètes
| His travels, his comets
|
| Le laissant dans son néant
| Leaving him in his nothingness
|
| Sans faire d'éclat tout doucement
| Without making a splash, slowly
|
| Elle est partie au petit jour
| She left at daybreak
|
| Son baluchon trop plein d’amour
| Her bundle too full of love
|
| Il est seul aujourd’hui
| He is alone today
|
| Assis sur son tas d’or
| Sitting on his pile of gold
|
| Il est triste et s’ennuie
| He is sad and bored
|
| De celle qu’il aime encore
| Of the one he still loves
|
| Elle a toujours pour elle
| She always has going for her
|
| L’infini, les étoiles
| infinity, stars
|
| Et des vœux à la pelle
| And wishes in spades
|
| Qui parfois lui font mal | Which sometimes hurt him |
