Déjà Venise [English translation]

I look at you

And I think of it

And the more I look at you

The more I think of it

There’s a little voice that’s telling me

That something not so funny

Will ruin my night

And all the days to come

I’m insufferable

And now you've stopped reacting

You’re clearing the table

We’ve barely drunk anything

I looked around

But there’s nothing interesting

I say words of love

And I tell you off

I try everything

And everything is wide of the mark

You’re hurting

And you won’t share any of it with me

But sometimes I stamp my feet

I make fun of myself

I’m telling you, if you want

You can pack your bags

But they’ve already been packed

Your bags

In your mind

It’s already Venice

But they’ve already been packed

Your bags

There are coat hangers

Without clothes

I should have thought of it before

Let me, let me, let me go on ahead

I should have thought of it before

Let me, let me, let me go on ahead

Have you ever heard of such a story?

You think that’s how it’s done?

That we finish the evening meal

And then leave?

You say that it’s been days

Since we had fun, since we told each other anything

You say it’s been meals

We haven’t enjoyed, since we haven't been hungry

And it’s true

I’ve been telling myself the same thing, too

For much longer than you have

What do you think?

Besides what makes you think

That I’m not going to leave

This evening or tonight

That I wasn’t going to run away

Oh yes I’m going to leave

And I’m going to run

And I’m going to get past you on the stairs

You’re not the one who left me

We went our separate ways

We went away, each went their way

We didn’t really love each other anymore

Quite simply

But they’ve already been packed

Your bags

In your mind

It’s already Venice

But they’ve already been packed

Your bags

There are coat hangers

Without clothes

I should have thought of it before

Let me, let me, let me go on ahead

I should have thought of it before

Let me, let me, let me go on ahead

No, please wait

I didn't really mean it

I’m not actually leaving

No more than you are

You can’t decide to change my life

Without seeking my opinion

I don't agree

But I still love you

Anyways I’m not very good

At showing tough love

Apparently it’s hell

And besides, it’s raining

Yet you think it’s normal

Something like that

In this starless night

In this sunless town

No, you can’t do that

You don’t know what you’re talking about

Go on, sit down

And come back to your senses

Abandoning people that way

No matter what

You want to leave? Fine by me

I’m coming with you!

But they’ve already been packed

Your bags

In your mind

It’s already Venice

But they’ve already been packed

Your bags

There are coat hangers

Without clothes

I should have thought of it before

Let me, let me, let me go on ahead

I should have thought of it before

Let me, let me, let me go on ahead
