L'amoureuse [English translation]

Hey the lover

The lover

He always sees her, gentle and pretty, a bit crazy

Running ahead all alone to be the first at school

Grumbling sometimes these few words, these beautiful words

"Come on, faster Anatole, how do you want that we fly?"

He remembers the good moments that he shared

With the girl he loved so much but never admitting it

He remembers the children laughing, all these complicities

That needed to be hidden from the olders to not be mocked

Then a day the time came when she needed to grow up

To convince her feelings to say him nothing

Prisoner of a magnet that she saw coming one day

One of these pretty offenders who taught her to suffer

But why do the girls love so much the disturbed boys

Those who never go to the fields and who don't like working

Why do the girls love the evils, this carpenter's son

Who treated him like a fat lazy guy to make her laugh

(The gentle) The gentle (the lover) the lover

(who he loved in secret) yeah!

(In a blouse) In a blouse (so joyful) so joyful

(When she sold Lilies of the Valley)

Yeah yeah

(The pretty spouse) spouse (promising) promising

(was no more who she was) yeah

(Living, jealous) jealous (unhappy) unhappy

(To have pick up the wrong guy)

The days pass, her love was a bit more condemned

Completely attracted by this well-named hooligan

Blind and deaf in front of this very pretty lyricist

She could only love him but was too much uptight

The other said that her future was traced

That if there was _______ you would be much more fortunate

The other said that nothing's worse than a face of a blinded person

That he would build an empire and that the world would be at his foot

Of course all was beautiful, all was put in colors

The frame and the painting, all had a value

Behind this great coat valuing the exterior

He was made only of words but without ink in the interior

But why do the girls love so much the tormented men

Those who complaint all the time to have had a weird past

Why do the girls love money, all that can shine

When a man says he's different they are all ready to listen to him

(The pretty spouse) spouse (promising) promising

(was no more who she was) yeah

(Living, jealous) jealous (unhappy) unhappy

(To have pick up the wrong guy)

Yeah yeah

(The pretty spouse) spouse (promising) promising

(was no more who she was) yeah

(Living, jealous) jealous (unhappy) unhappy

(To have pick up the wrong guy)

Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

He's here again already, some years have passed

He doesn't have changed, his studies are over

He sees her again on the other side

Surrounded by three kids she always sell Lilies of the Valley

But why do the girls are defeated before having fought

In front of some individuals who are made only to speak

Why did this girl seem lost, a bit disoriented

When she at last saw this man returning from the past

(The gentle) The gentle (the lover) the lover

(who he loved in secret) yeah!

(In a blouse) In a blouse (so joyful) so joyful

(When she sold Lilies of the Valley)

Yeah yeah

(The pretty spouse) spouse (promising) promising

(was no more who she was) yeah

(Living, jealous) jealous (unhappy) unhappy

(To have pick up the wrong guy)

Yeah yeah

(The gentle) The gentle (the lover) the lover

(who he loved in secret) yeah!

(In a blouse) In a blouse (so joyful) so joyful

(When she sold Lilies of the Valley)

Oh!

(The pretty spouse) spouse (promising) promising

(was no more who she was) no

(Living, jealous) jealous (unhappy) unhappy

(To have pick up the wrong guy)

Oh!

Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

Yeah

Yeah Yeah
