Lui [English translation]

He, you know, has the words needed to amaze me

it's true, he knows how to make me smile, comfort me

I could have never imagined he would leave.

He, his life, it's adventure, music and girls

too bad, I accept him as he is,

nothing is ever finished and if he's back I'd say 'yes'.

It would do me good to see him again,

and find me again in private with him

it would do me good to see him again

and find again our forbidden games. 1

He, often, has love shouts, has childish words,

one day with flowers, yet the next day

he no longer has anything of what I expect

It would do me good to see him again,

and find me again in private with him

it would do me good to see him again

and find again our forbidden games.

He, he says, there's no rock'n'roll without King,

it's true there's never love without spleen,

I know, but if only he [could] come back tomorrow.

He and me, it would be like before and even a bit more

I think, I would tell him 'I love you' simply

like that, letting me go between his arms.

It would do me good to see him again,

and find me again in private with him

it would do me good to see him again

and find again our forbidden games.
