Entre nous, il est fou [English translation]

You have hurt him so much—

so now have mercy on him because he loves you—

take pity on his heartache.

It's you that he needs.

But, just between us, he's a fool.

He's a fool to love you still.

They said to him, "My friend, stop.

Forget her—honestly, it's too stupid. "

He responds that he can't—

that he needs you too much.

But, just between us, he's a fool.

He's a fool to love you still.

With his heart, you play games.

Don't you see that you take advantage of it?

He's being too kind to you

to love you to that extent.

But, just between us, he's a fool.

He's a fool to love you still.

Just between us, he's a fool

because one day he will forget you.

Just between us, he's a fool

and, when your turn comes, you will cry too.

Just between us...
