Sans exigences(original) |
Je n'étais plus que son amant |
Je vivais bien de temps en temps |
Mais peu à peu de moins en moins |
Je blasphémais ma dernière chance |
Au fil de son indifférence |
J’en voulais faire mon seul témoin |
Mais j’ai dû manquer d’impudence |
Car me voyant sans exigences |
Elle me croyait sans besoins |
Je protégeais ses moindres pas |
Je passais mais ne pesais pas |
Je me trouvais bien de la chance |
A vivre à deux ma solitude |
Puis je devins son habitude |
Je devins celui qui revient |
Lorsqu’elle revenait de partance |
Et me voyant sans exigences |
Elle me croyait sans besoins |
L’eau chaude n’a jamais mordu |
Mais on ne peut que s’y baigner |
Et elle ne peut de plus en plus |
Que refroidir et reprocher |
Qu’on ne soit pas assez au soleil |
L’eau chaude à l’eau chaude est pareille |
Elle confond faiblesse et patience |
Et me voyant sans exigences |
Elle me voulait sans merveilles |
De mal à seul, j’eus mal à deux |
J’en suis venu à prier Dieu |
Mais on sait bien qu’il est trop vieux |
Et qu’il n’est plus maître de rien |
Il eût fallu que j’arrogance |
Alors que tremblant d’indulgence |
Mon coeur n’osât lever la main |
Et me voyant sans exigences |
Elle me croyait sans besoins |
Elle est partie comme s’en vont |
Ces oiseaux-là dont on découvre |
Après avoir aimé leurs bonds |
Que le jour où leurs ailes s’ouvrent |
Ils s’ennuyaient entre nos mains |
Elle est partie comme en vacances |
Depuis le ciel est un peu lourd |
Et je me meurs d’indifférence |
Et elle croit se couvrir d’amour |
(translation) |
I was just her lover |
I used to live well once in a while |
But little by little less and less |
I was blaspheming my last chance |
Over his indifference |
I wanted to make it my only witness |
But I must have lacked impudence |
'Cause seeing me without demands |
She thought I had no needs |
I was protecting his every step |
I passed but didn't weigh |
I thought I was very lucky |
To live together my loneliness |
Then I became her habit |
I became the one who returns |
When she was coming back from leaving |
And seeing me without demands |
She thought I had no needs |
Hot water never bit |
But you can only swim in it |
And she can't anymore |
What to chill and blame |
That we're not in the sun enough |
Hot water to hot water is the same |
She confuses weakness with patience |
And seeing me without demands |
She wanted me without wonders |
From bad to alone, I had bad to two |
I came to pray to God |
But we know he's too old |
And he's no longer master of anything |
I should have been arrogant |
While trembling with indulgence |
My heart didn't dare raise my hand |
And seeing me without demands |
She thought I had no needs |
She left as they go |
These birds of which we discover |
After enjoying their leaps |
May the day their wings open |
They were bored in our hands |
She left like on vacation |
Since the sky is a bit heavy |
And I'm dying of indifference |
And she thinks she's covered in love |
