Autrefois [English translation]

I've written sweet words

To all the girls of France

I hope for them to reply

I've swore I'll be happy

Before the end of the year

I've written sweet words

To all the girls of France

Every day and every night

But at the end of the year I am still

Alone in my bed

Nobody misses me

But that's not so bad

I have already spent a good moment

A good moment, some other time before

I think about them with so much sadness

When the moon is full

What parties, what dances

And what songs do they enjoy [lit. spend] without me

The evening starts like an old song

But I am not able to sing

I forgot the melody

For some years now.

Nobody misses me

But that's not so bad

I have already spent a good moment

A good moment, some other time before

I have already spent a good moment

A good moment, some other time before
