| On m’a parlé d’elle qu’elle était aussi belle
| I was told of her that she was also beautiful
|
| Qu’elle était encore libre, pas vraiment, vraiment libre
| That she was still free, not really, really free
|
| Puisqu’il y avait un homme, un homme parce qu’il faut vivre
| Because there was a man, a man because you have to live
|
| Mais la bride était longue et ses nuits agitées
| But the bridle was long and her nights restless
|
| Et puis y’a les jalouses, celles qui ont épousé
| And then there are the jealous ones, those who married
|
| Un mari trop âgé, un homme parce qu’il faut vivre
| A husband too old, a man because you have to live
|
| Chacun sa façon de voir, moi, je me souviens d’un soir
| Everyone has their own way of seeing, I remember one evening
|
| Que je n’pourrai jamais oublier
| That I can never forget
|
| Chacun sa façon d'être de voir à sa fenêtre
| Everyone has their own way of seeing at their window
|
| Chacun son chemin, chacun sa vérité
| Each his way, each his truth
|
| On m’a dit en souriant qu’elle avait mis longtemps
| I was told with a smile that it took a long time
|
| À n’plus parler de moi, mais ce n'était pas vrai
| Don't talk about me anymore, but it wasn't true
|
| Puisqu’il y avait un homme, un homme parce qu’il faut vivre
| Because there was a man, a man because you have to live
|
| Mais un homme qui l’aimait et qu’elle avait gardé
| But a man who loved her and whom she had kept
|
| Puis on m’a dit aussi qu’elle m’avait bien menti
| Then I was also told that she had lied to me
|
| Mais pas vraiment trompé, un homme parce qu’il faut vivre
| But not really deceived, a man because you have to live
|
| Chacun sa façon de voir, moi, je me souviens d’un soir
| Everyone has their own way of seeing, I remember one evening
|
| Que je n’pourrai jamais oublier
| That I can never forget
|
| Chacun sa façon d'être de voir à sa fenêtre
| Everyone has their own way of seeing at their window
|
| Chacun son chemin, chacun sa vérité, chacun sa vérité
| Each his way, each his truth, each his truth
|
| Un homme parce qu’il faut vivre, un homme pour se marier
| A man because you have to live, a man to get married
|
| Et quitter pour toujours sa jeunesse agitée
| And leave forever his restless youth
|
| On s’est aimé très fort, on s’aime sans doute encore
| We loved each other very much, we probably still love each other
|
| Mais on n’peut plus jouer
| But we can't play anymore
|
| Chacun sa façon de voir, moi, je me souviens d’un soir
| Everyone has their own way of seeing, I remember one evening
|
| Que je n’pourrai jamais oublier
| That I can never forget
|
| Chacun sa façon d'être de voir à sa fenêtre
| Everyone has their own way of seeing at their window
|
| Chacun son chemin, chacun sa vérité | Each his way, each his truth |
