Lyrics of Kensington Square - Vincent Delerm

Kensington Square (original)

Alors vous avez emprunt?
la Bentley bleu pale de son p?
re Elle a conduit machoires serr?
es dans le quartier des affaires
Au d?
but de la soir?
e Oxford avenue d’l’ann?e derni?
re Vous vous etes dirig?
s vers Kensington square
Surtout ne pas abimer les fauteuils cuirs marron clair
Surtout ne laisser trainer aucun papier?
l’arri?re
Dans le soir et qui descend sous les premiers lampadaires
Vous serez assis sur le bancs de Kensington Square.
Pourtant il ne se passera?
peu pr?
s rien entre vous
Que ce moment ou les bras serr?
s autour des genoux
Elle dira nous avons bien fait
Et c’est peut-etre?
cet instant qu’il aurait fallu qu’il fallait
Et tu regretteras longtemps.
longtemps apr?
s Vous venez de d?
passer ce monument fun?
raire
Fr?
quemment photographi?
dans les vieux manuels scolaires
Elle craint de n’avoir pas pris en passant par Saint-John Street
R?
ellement un racourci elle remonte un peu sa vitre
Tu essaye de temps en temps une conversation nouvelle
Elle ne r?
pond pas vraiment tu d?
balles un caramel
Les autobus qui d?
filent plus que quelques m?
tres?
faire
Tout sera tellement facile?
Kensington Square
Pourtant il ne se passera?
peu pr?
s rien entre vous
Que ce moment ou les bras serr?
s autour des genoux
Elle dira nous avons bien fait
Et c’est peut-etre?
cet instant qu’il aurait fallu qu’il fallait
Et tu regretteras longtemps.
longtemps apr?
s Sur les pelouses de Kensington tu n’as pas su lire mes pense?
s De ce cardigan qui frissonne de la main qui vient d’arracher
Les feuilles rougeatres d’un prunier
Elle te d?
posera chez toi devant le portail de l’entr?e
Et dans la nuit tu entendra tes propres l?
vres murmurer
C'?tait une excellente soir?
e Alors vous avez emprunt?
la Bentley bleu pale de son p?
re Elle a conduit machoires serr?
es dans le quartier des affaires
Au d?
but de la soir?
e Oxford avenue d’l’ann?e derni?
re Vous vous etes dirig?
s vers Kensington square

(translation)

So you have borrowed?
his father's pale blue Bentley?
re She drove jaws tight?
are in the business district
On the d?
goal of the night?
e Oxford avenue last year?
re You headed?
s towards Kensington square
Above all, do not damage the light brown leather armchairs
Above all, don't leave any paper lying around?
the back
In the evening and going down under the first streetlights
You will be seated on the benches in Kensington Square.
Yet it won't happen?
little near
nothing between you
That this moment or arms tight?
s around the knees
She'll say we did well
And maybe it is?
this moment that should have been
And you will regret for a long time.
long after
s Are you from d?
pass this fun monument?
laugh
Fr?
how often photographed?
in old textbooks
She's afraid she didn't take through St. John Street
R?
she's a shortcut she rolls her window up a bit
Every now and then you try a new conversation
She doesn't
don't you really lay d?
balls a caramel
The buses which
spin more than a few m?
very?
To do
Everything will be so easy?
Kensington Square
Yet it won't happen?
little near
nothing between you
That this moment or arms tight?
s around the knees
She'll say we did well
And maybe it is?
this moment that should have been
And you will regret for a long time.
long after
s On the lawns of Kensington you couldn't read my thoughts?
s Of this cardigan that shivers from the hand that has just snatched
The reddish leaves of a plum tree
She d?
will pose at your house in front of the entrance gate
And in the night you will hear your own l?
you whisper
It was an excellent evening?
e So you borrowed?
his father's pale blue Bentley?
re She drove jaws tight?
are in the business district
On the d?
goal of the night?
e Oxford avenue last year?
re You headed?
s towards Kensington square
