Un peu d'amour et d'amitié [English translation]

For you, who are alone and crying out

a little love and friendship,

a little warmth for your soul,

For you alone I want to sing.

The transistor will be an accomplice

of a secret between you and me

and on the airwaves I slip in

to bring you a little joy.

You, in your boat on the sea

you, in your distant village

you have an insuperable problem?

Just put it here, on the table.

Let it go, let it go

and time and time and time and time and time

will solve it for you

okay, okay ,... fine...

I don't want you to regret

the suns you missed.

I promise you nights of celebration

Ah, but those are the ones you can't miss.

And you, your room is like an island

where you must have often cried.

around you there' s the city -

Take your coat, we'll have a toast,

A toast to the sailors on the sea,

to the guys from the distant village,

to all our insurmountable problems,

Just put them here, on the table.

let it die, let it die

and time and time and time and time and time

will solve them for us

okay, okay... fine...
