Michèle [English translation]

You've had fifteen years of pain

Your hair wore ribbons

You live near

The Grand Palace

I called you in the morning

And together we took the train

To go to high school

Michelle, seated near you

I waited at recess

To go to the café

Drink a hot chocolate

And then kiss you

One day you've had seventeen years

Your hair steals the wind

And often you sing:

"Oh Yesterday!"

On Thursday afternoons

We go to the Grey Cinema

See films of Marilyn

Michelle, an evening in December

The snow falls on the roof

It was you and me

Sleeping together

For the first time

Time has passed by sweetly

And fallen the Prince Charming

Who offered you trips

In your clouds

We have said that you're married

In April of last Spring

That you live in Paris

Michelle, that's all too far

The streets, the gay cafés

The same subway trains

That mock you, that mock me

Michelle, that's all too far

The streets, the gay cafés

The same subway trains

That mock you, that mock me

That mock me!
