| C’est un matin ordinaire du mois de novembre
| It's an ordinary November morning
|
| Tous les matins de l’hiver se suivent et se ressemblent
| All winter mornings follow each other and resemble each other
|
| Il y a pourtant dans l’air un parfum de cendres
| Yet there's a scent of ashes in the air
|
| Elle a pris toutes ses affaires, tu l’entends descendre
| She took all her things, you hear her coming down
|
| Et c’est tombé, violent comme un couperet
| And it fell, violent as a cleaver
|
| Son cœur a déserté, il est innocent
| His heart has deserted, he's innocent
|
| Elle est tombée amoureuse et sonnée
| She fell in love and banged
|
| Rien n’a pu l’empêcher de foutre le camp
| Nothing could stop him from buggering off
|
| Hey, toi, comment ça va? | Hey you, how are you? |
| Comment tu vas?
| How are you?
|
| Comment la vie depuis la dernière fois?
| How's life since the last time?
|
| Toi, comment ça va? | You, how are you? |
| Comment vont les gosses?
| How are the kids?
|
| Comment va ta femme? | How is your wife doing? |
| Embrasse-la pour moi
| Kiss her for me
|
| J’suis pas d’humeur à faire la fête et nous arrivons fin décembre
| I'm not in the mood to party and we're coming to the end of December
|
| J’peux pas fêter Noël, la maison est triste sans enfant
| I can't celebrate Christmas, the house is sad without children
|
| J’m’en veux car j’en veux à leur maman, j’l’aime encore, ma famille me manque
| I blame myself because I blame their mom, I still love her, I miss my family
|
| Mais comme elle en aime un autre, j’en parle pas car ça fait trop mal
| But since she loves another, I don't talk about it because it hurts too much
|
| Quand j’marche dans la rue, les gens comme toi qui m’demandent comment j’vais
| When I walk in the street, people like you who ask me how I'm doing
|
| J’ai envie d’leur répondre qu’avec une balle entre les deux yeux,
| I want to answer them only with a bullet between the two eyes,
|
| j’me sentirais sûrement mieux, oh
| I would surely feel better, oh
|
| C’est trop cruel, lorsque l’amour se conjugue au pluriel, lorsque celle que
| It's too cruel, when love is combined in the plural, when the one you
|
| t’aime en aime un autre
| love yourself love another
|
| Et voir leurs silhouettes s’enfuir dans une ruelle
| And see their silhouettes fleeing down an alley
|
| Et c’est tombé, violent comme un couperet
| And it fell, violent as a cleaver
|
| Son cœur a déserté, il est innocent
| His heart has deserted, he's innocent
|
| Elle est tombée amoureuse et sonnée
| She fell in love and banged
|
| Rien n’a pu l’empêcher de foutre le camp
| Nothing could stop him from buggering off
|
| Hey, toi, comment ça va? | Hey you, how are you? |
| Comment tu vas?
| How are you?
|
| Comment la vie depuis la dernière fois?
| How's life since the last time?
|
| Toi, comment ça va? | You, how are you? |
| Comment vont les gosses?
| How are the kids?
|
| Comment va ta femme? | How is your wife doing? |
| Embrasse-la pour moi
| Kiss her for me
|
| Chacun sa solitude
| To each his loneliness
|
| Comment parler de sa vie?
| How to talk about his life?
|
| Moi, j’ai pas l’habitude
| Me, I'm not used to
|
| J’sais même pas si j’ai envie
| I don't even know if I want
|
| Et tant qu’j’ai pas les mots, tant que j’leur ai rien dit
| And as long as I don't have the words, as long as I haven't told them anything
|
| C’est comme si elle était là, comme si elle était pas partie
| It's like she's here, like she ain't gone
|
| Chacun sa solitude
| To each his loneliness
|
| Tout va bien, mon ami
| It's alright my friend
|
| Hey, toi, comment ça va? | Hey you, how are you? |
| Comment tu vas?
| How are you?
|
| Comment la vie depuis la dernière fois?
| How's life since the last time?
|
| Toi, comment ça va? | You, how are you? |
| Comment vont les gosses?
| How are the kids?
|
| Comment va ta femme? | How is your wife doing? |
| Embrasse-la pour moi | Kiss her for me |
