Mon voisin [English translation]

They came back. I hear the noise on the floor.

Maybe they're going to play the piano.

He then will come, say hello, give them a kiss

And I will hear his footsteps.

I'll guess where he's going

I'll guess where he's going.

They came back.

I hear the noise on the stairs.

Maybe he is going to play the piano

As for me, I will listen so deeply.

I will listen again and again

And he will stop.

I'll guess where he's going

I'll guess where he's going.

But I don't want to think about it anymore,

But I don't want to listen to it anymore.

I will go to sleep soon

But I don't want to think about it anymore

They came back.

The piano has stopped playing.

I think your room is at the back.

I'll be sad if he goes there

Because I won't then be able to hear him

But if I hear his voice,

I'll guess where he's going

I'll guess where he's going.

They came back

And so I can see my hands trembling.

And if the piano would stop,

And if he wouldn't come

Or maybe would rang my doorbell?

One day he will come.

I'll guess where he's going

I'll guess where he's going.
