|
| Avec un tout jeune artiste

|
| Qu’elle a connu cet été
| That she experienced this summer
|
| Et monsieur Lenoble écoute
| And Monsieur Lenoble listens
|
| La mélodie qu’elle aimait

|
| Ces quelques notes, goutte à goutte
| These few notes, drop by drop
|
| L’empoisonnent à jamais

|
| T’as pas su la rendre heureuse
| You didn't know how to make her happy
|
| T’es tout seul, elle est partie
