C'est toujours la même histoire [English translation]

I'm familiar with the guy

that meets the girl

I'm familiar with the girl

that smiles at the guy

He asked for needles and thread

to attach a heart to his overcoat

and she gave her all

thread and needles

and then her girlish heart on top of all that

always the same old story

I hardly dare tell you about it

me, I pretended to believe it

so pretend to listen to me

So, I saw the girl

imagining Sundays

to dance the dance of love

in the arms of her lover

If the love were pure

if the the life were honest

they could have loved each other

till the end of time

first he lied

without her wanting to believe

but she could have taken

pleasure in the fact he left

always the same old story

I hardly dare tell you about it

me, I pretended to believe it

so pretend to listen to me

I'm familiar with the guy

Who left the girl

I'm familiar with the girl

who wept for the guy

she cried forever

and from thread to needle

her tears grew older

but never mended

her heart grew cold

colder than one can imagine

Me, I know something about it

that girl was me

there's no need aymore to listen to me
