Comme Joe Dassin [English translation]
Comme Joe Dassin [English translation]
We always met in that hotel
As if it were our first date
The carpets and pastel-colored walls
Made us smile every time
Like in a song by Joe Dassin
We needed very little
A few cigarettes and a bottle of wine
We made love until morning
[Chorus]:
But just in case, I send you kisses
Every time I think back to Quebec
Hoping that a little gust of wind
Brings them to you as a reminder of the time
When we were lovers
In the cafes on Saint-Jean Street
Even if we already knew
That our story made no sense
I remember that winter day
In that bistro in Petit Champlain
You spilled a lot of tears into your beer
When we said it was the end
Like in a song by Joe Dassin
I left with my misery
How long is the road of destiny
When you have to step on your heart
[Chorus]
When I saw you that morning on the street
It must have been at least ten years ago
If you pretended not to see me
You gave yourself away by turning around
Like in a song by Joe Dassin
We smiled, lowering our eyes
Then we each went our own way
As if it were a final goodbye
[Chorus] x2
