Les Amours sans importance [English translation]

You gave me in a cinema

a beautiful kiss in black and white

we were what? eighteen, twenty years old

there on top your boat for always

has left the train platform

you did not have the time to be faithful

Normal, I didn't even know your name

But I kept your photo booth

where I remember that you were beautiful

unimportant loves

kisses at the corner of the roads

vanished faces

near a train about to leave

three words in a cafe

a muffled sob

no one cries

(but) unfortunately in quarter of an hour....

under the bridge of sighs

The Seine flows

and the city stretches

and people come and go

unimportant loves

kisses at the corner of streets

vanished faces

and life goes on (doesn't care)

and stripped daisies **

announcements without response

stories on a wet sidewalk

love between two cigarettes

a phone number

on the back of a matchbox

when calling no one answers

O the beautiful forgotten sailboats

on a piece of paper tablecloth

unimportant loves

kisses at the corner of streets

vanished faces

near a train about to leave

three words in a cafe

a muffled sob

no one cries

(but) unfortunately in quarter of an hour....

In the evening everyone sails

On the sea of ​​fatigue

and the people come and go

and the city stretches

unimportant loves

kisses at the corner of streets

vanished faces

and life goes on (doesn't care)

unimportant loves

la la la ..
