Translation of the song lyrics Changement de cavalière - Sylvie Vartan

Changement de cavalière (original)

Ce n’est pas toi qui m’as choisie le premier soir de notre vie
C’est moi qui t’ai vu la premire, les gens riaient autour de toi
De choses qui n’intressaient pas, la fille qui buvait dans ton verre
Et tu ne m’as pas invite la premire fois qu’on a dans
C’tait, c’tait changement de cavalire, changement de cavalire
Changement de cavalire, changement de cavalire
J’ai d’abord plu ton copain, un gros qui se croyait malin
En mlangeant le vin des verres, il m’a racont vos orgies
Tu n’aurais pas aim sans lui, il partageait tes femmes en frre
Et tu ne m’as pas invite la premire fois qu’on a dans
C’tait, c’tait changement de cavalire, changement de cavalire
Changement de cavalire, changement de cavalire
L’homme d’une femme n’existe pas, tes matresses ne me gnaient pas
Elles m’ont seulement rendue amre et ce n’est que plus tard dans la vie
Quand tu as vol mes amies, que je me suis mise en colre
Et tu n’as mme pas remarqu quand, moi aussi, je t’ai tromp
C’tait, c’tait changement de cavalire, changement de cavalire
Changement de cavalire, changement de cavalire.

(translation)

You didn't choose me on the first night of our lives
I saw you first, people were laughing around you
Of things that didn't interest, the girl who drank from your glass
And you didn't invite me the first time we got in
It was, it was change of rider, change of rider
Rider change, rider change
First I liked your boyfriend, a fat guy who thought he was smart
Mixing the wine from the glasses, he told me about your orgies
You wouldn't have loved without him, he shared your wives as a brother
And you didn't invite me the first time we got in
It was, it was change of rider, change of rider
Rider change, rider change
A woman's man doesn't exist, your mistresses didn't bother me
They only made me bitter and it wasn't until later in life
When you stole my friends, when I got angry
And you didn't even notice when I cheated on you too
It was, it was change of rider, change of rider
Change of rider, change of rider.
