Il suffirait de presque rien (original)Il suffirait de presque rien (translation)
Il suffirait de presque rien, It would be enough for almost nothing,
Peut-être dix années de moins, Maybe ten years younger,
Pour que je te dise «Je t’aime». For me to tell you "I love you".
Que je te prenne par la main Let me take you by the hand
Pour t’emmener à Saint-Germain, To take you to Saint-Germain,
T’offrir un autre café-crème. Offer you another latte.
Mais pourquoi faire du cinéma, But why make movies,
Fillette allons regarde-moi, Girl let's look at me
Et vois les rides qui nous séparent. And see the wrinkles that separate us.
A quoi bon jouer la comédie What's the use of acting
Du vieil amant qui rajeunit, Of the old lover who grows younger,
Toi même ferait semblant d’y croire. You yourself would pretend to believe it.
Vraiment de quoi aurions-nous l’air? Really what would we look like?
J’entends déjà les commentaires, I can already hear the comments
«Elle est jolie, comment peut-il encore lui plaire “She is pretty, how can he still please her
Elle au printemps, lui en hiver». She in spring, he in winter.
Il suffirait de presque rien, It would be enough for almost nothing,
Pourtant personne tu le sais bien, Yet no one you know well,
Ne repasse par sa jeunesse. Don't go back to his youth.
Ne sois pas stupide et comprends, Don't be stupid and understand,
Si j’avais comme toi vingt ans, If I were like you twenty years old,
Je te couvrirais de promesses. I would shower you with promises.
Allons bon voilà ton sourire, Come on, here's your smile
Qui tourne à l’eau et qui chavire, Which turns in the water and which capsizes,
Je ne veux pas que tu sois triste. I don't want you to be sad.
Imagine ta vie demain, Imagine your life tomorrow,
Tout à côté d’un clown en train, Right next to a clown on the train,
De faire son dernier tour de piste. To do his last lap.
Vraiment de quoi aurais-tu l’air? Really what would you look like?
J’entends déjà les commentaires, I can already hear the comments
«Elle est jolie, comment peut-il encore lui plaire? “She is pretty, how can he still please her?
Elle au printemps, lui en hiver». She in spring, he in winter.
C’est un autre que moi demain, It's someone other than me tomorrow,
Qui t’emmènera à St-Germain Who will take you to St-Germain
Prendre le premier café crème. Take the first café crème.
Il suffisait de presque rien, It was enough for almost nothing,
Peut-être dix années de moins Maybe ten years younger
Pour que je te dise «Je t’aime»For me to tell you "I love you"
