Non, ce n'est pas pour moi [English translation]

Fast talkers, nasty boys,

smooth operators,

no, that's not for me.

Afternoon teas, seedy soirees,

pop music, and sex shops,

no, that's not for me.

Off-seasons, half-tones,

sermons, the whatever they say,

no, that's not for me.

Grand premiers, bestsellers,

shining love, and cruises,

no, that's not for me.

I have a heart a bit like a blue flower,

old-fashioned if you will.

I can do nothing about it.

I dine at a bistro in the harbor,

friendship serves as the decor,

and I am fine with it.

Don Juans, traps,

hogwash, and slogans,

no, that's not for me.

Scenarios a bit melodramatic,

misunderstandings, mint soda,

no, that's not for me.

The mysterious, the too-curious,

the precious little ones, beautiful as Gods,

no, that's not for me.

Happenings and meetings

where you end up sleeping around,

no, that's not for me.

I like to take the time to live,

to read over and over the pages of a book

that I still adore.

Novelty is not always

what is beautiful in love,

nor what is stronger.

Fast talkers, nasty boys,

smooth operators,

no, that's not for me.

Afternoon teas, seedy soirees,

pop music, and sex shops,

no, that's not for me.

~~~~~

No, that's not for me.

No, that's not for me.

No, that's not for me....
