Lyrics of 1,2,3,4 - Elisa Tovati, Matt Epp

1,2,3,4 (original)

D’abord on se rencontre, on s’y attendait pas
Il avait l’air un peu banal, il était assis là
Moi j’avais l’air de rien en buvant mon Coca
Il s’est approché, il m’as dit «Salut, ça vas?
«The first message is the first rendez-vous
Look your best, be on time and above all this foule
Don’t talk about your exes (You better not)
Be cool, make her laugh, you know, blah blah blah
Se raconter nos vie et puis boire un peu trop
Avoir les yeux qui brillent et le trouver si beau
And a familiar feeling that it’s all déjà vu
C’est fou ce qu’ils se ressemblent tous ces débiles
And it goes one, two, three, four
You came and go, you say it’s best
Now just my body you undress
We’re two or one and one is left
Et c’est toujours la même histoire
Les mots d’amour et les promesses
Les billet doux, les nuits d’ivresses
Nos corps et nos bouches qui se cherchent
C’est toujours la même histoire
On vas au théâtre, au ciné
On se fait des weekend a vélo
On a mis l’truc à s’raconter
On s’marre comme des ados
And I hang on every word, I feel you feeling me
I love your mom, your sister, your cat, your clique
Ensuite c’est les projets, on parle d’avenir
On dit plus jour on dit ans
C’est con, mais ça fait plaisir
Now we do couple things
And talk about only a couple things
The weather, our jobs, and maybe buying a couple rings
On part en vacance en Iceland, en Italie au Canada
Y’as un truc qui change, mais j’sais pas vraiment quoi
Ce matin pour la première fois on avait rien a se dire
Et d’un coup, mon Dieu, c’est de pire en pire après
Ça fait un, deux, trois, quatre
You came and go, you say it’s best
Now just my body you undress
We’re two or one and one is left
Et c’est toujours la même histoire
Les mots d’amour et les promesses
Les billet doux, les nuits d’ivresses
Nos corps et nos bouches qui se cherchent
C’est toujours la même histoire
Tu vois, depuis toujours on s’aiment comme ça
Pensant l’amour ça sent rien, ça s’en vas
Ça fait deux mois qu’il se passe plus rien
Et je doute de nous
Peut-être que tu vois quelqu’un
Je sais pas et je m’en fous
Rendez-vous demain à 17h, café Madame, il faut qu’on parle
Mais je t’en prie pas de larme et pas de mélodrame
Les visages ont pâle, l’air est électrique
Même les choses ont compris
Qu’entre nous y’avais plus rien de magique
Fais les ronds avec ta clope
Putain ce que t’es beau quand tu pleure
Je sais pas trop où on va
Faut qu’on se quitte c’est mieux comme ça
Tu pars, tu reviens, tu me laisse
Tu veux — je ne sais plus, tu me blesse
Et quand l’un part l’autre reste
C’est toujours la même histoire
Les mots d’amour et les promesses
Les billet doux, les nuits d’ivresses
Nos corps et nos bouches qui se cherchent
C’est toujours la même histoire

(translation)

First we meet, we didn't expect it
He looked a bit unremarkable, he was sitting there
Me, I looked like nothing while drinking my Coke
He approached me, he said to me “Hi, how are you?
"The first message is the first date
Look your best, be on time and above all this crowd
Don't talk about your exes (You better not)
Be cool, make her laugh, you know, blah blah blah
Tell each other our lives and then drink a little too much
To have eyes that shine and find it so beautiful
And a familiar feeling that it's all deja vu
It's crazy how much they all look alike
And it goes one, two, three, four
You came and go, you say it's best
Now just my body you undress
We're two or one and one is left
And it's always the same story
Words of love and promises
Sweet notes, drunken nights
Our bodies and our mouths looking for each other
It's always the same story
We go to the theater, to the cinema
We do weekends on the bike
We put the thing to tell each other
We laugh like teenagers
And I hang on every word, I feel you feeling me
I love your mom, your sister, your cat, your clique
Then it's the projects, we talk about the future
We say more days we say years
It's stupid, but it's fun
Now we do couple things
And talk about only a couple things
The weather, our jobs, and maybe buying a couple rings
We're going on vacation to Iceland, Italy, Canada
There's something that changes, but I don't really know what
This morning for the first time we had nothing to say
And suddenly, my God, it's worse and worse after
It's been one, two, three, four
You came and go, you say it's best
Now just my body you undress
We're two or one and one is left
And it's always the same story
Words of love and promises
Sweet notes, drunken nights
Our bodies and our mouths looking for each other
It's always the same story
You see, we've always loved each other like this
Thinking love feels nothing, it goes away
It's been two months that nothing happens
And I doubt us
Maybe you see someone
I don't know and I don't care
See you tomorrow at 5 p.m., café Madame, we need to talk
But please no tears and no melodrama
The faces are pale, the air is electric
Even things understood
That between us there was nothing more magical
Do the circles with your cig
Damn how beautiful you are when you cry
I don't know where we're going
We have to part, it's better that way
You go, you come back, you leave me
You want — I don't know anymore, you hurt me
And when one goes the other stays
It's always the same story
Words of love and promises
Sweet notes, drunken nights
Our bodies and our mouths looking for each other
It's always the same story
