Des gens qu'on aimerait connaître [English translation]

There are people whom one would like to know

Who have eyes which say at length

How to return in communion

When it is known that they will disappear

With the angle of the first street

At the first station to come

Like unknown shades

Who leave as they came

There are people whom one would like to know

To whom one wants to be told

To whom one would like to give all

Their eyes are mirrors, windows

Where one repolishes his present

Or one feels intelligent

For a small quarter of an hour perhaps

The time to fly away time

One is in love with a voice

Of an outfit or an expression

She recalls another voice to you

Someone else, another season

Now that she is familiar for us

It is a little like the voice of a brother

And one invites oneself to drink a glass

Without preamble and without manner

One would like to say to him well “Hello”

And that he answers you in his turn

How is it going, his heart his age

Or be that who goes on that voyage

“How many glances I threw, without ever crossing a single one of them

and how many times I lowered my face, in front of Pierre or Paul

The majority of people seem hostile, and when one of them speaks

they become animated, a small spark is enough“

There are people whom one would like to know

Who arrives to us like chance

With a heart embroidered with hope

But one remains with his problems

I benefit from this song

So that tomorrow on the occasion

If our eyes cross one this morning

You did not go your way.
