Simplement [English translation]

One more day all alone

when all falls apart.

You see, I've never known

how to speak to people..

I feel out of sorts,

My back feels a bit cold,

So slowly, so softly,

I sink like a boat

I am an awful captain,

a hanging around man,

people turn their backs on..

But if you had the time

to listen more to me,

And if I had the words I need

to express the images,

I'd tell you

O Simply,

Just looking at you,

I could almost feel

like following you

Peacefully,

Even a short while,

I could perhaps be happy

to see you live..

Yet I stay here,

I dare not speak too much,

One first glass too many,

while you give your last smile,

and it's more than I need

to love u till I die,

So slowly, so softly

Wish I could fall asleep

there, on the Bridge of Sighs

or in the first tube car

as if it were a last frenzy.

But if you had the time

to listen more to me,

And if I had the words I need

to express the images,

I'd tell you

O Simply,

Just looking at you,

I could almost feel

like following you

Peacefully,

Even a short while,

I could perhaps be happy

to see you live..

O Simply,

Just looking at you,

I could almost feel

like following you

Peacefully,

Even a short while,

I could perhaps be happy

to see you live..
