| Le garçon que j’aimais | The Boy I Loved |
| Ne reviendra plus jamais | Will never come back |
| Et ses lèvres jamais plus | And her lips never again |
| N’auront les mots que j’ai connu | Won't have the words I've known |
| Le garçon que j’aimais | The Boy I Loved |
| On aurait cru quand il parlait | You would have thought when he spoke |
| Que du fond de sa jeunesse | That from the depths of his youth |
| Des siècles de tendresse | Centuries of tenderness |
| Vous arrivaient dessus | were coming at you |
| Le garçon que j’aimais | The Boy I Loved |
| Avait l’air quand il marchait | Looked when he walked |
| En regardant devant lui | Looking ahead |
| D’ouvrir les portes de la vie | To open the doors of life |
| Mais voilà je ne le verrai plus | But now I won't see him again |
| Voilà je n’entendrai plus chanter son coeur | There I will no longer hear his heart sing |
| Car un jour on m’a volé | Because one day I was robbed |
| Le garçon que j’aimais | The Boy I Loved |
| On l’a pris au mois de mai | We took it in May |
| Et sans qu’il n’aie rien compri | And without him understanding anything |
| On lui a donné un fusil | He was given a gun |
| Pas besoin de vous raconter | No need to tell you |
| Je sais que vous comprendrez pourquoi je dis | I know you will understand why I say |
| Que je ne le reverrai jamais | That I'll never see him again |
