Une petite fille [English translation]

A li'le girl cryin'

In a town raining

And I running after

And I running after in the middle of the night

But what have I done to' er ?

A li''le silly one who is making me the big scene

of the abandoned woman

And who wants to make me believ' she's goin' to drown herself !

What side of the Seine is it ?

But what have I done to' er ?

But what have I done to' er ?

But what is she blamin' me for ?

When I cheated on' er she never knew it

Isn't she her approachin' ?

You love me truly tell me

You love me, you love me, you love me,

That's all she can say

When I stuff myself, when I shave,

When I'd like to get some sleep,

I have to tell her I lov' er !

A li'le girl cryin' in a town raining

Where's she for God's sake !

She must have gone up the rue de Rivoli

I've got plenty o' water in the eyes

Because she had dreamt of I know not what love

absolute, eternal

I'd have to think only, to be only for her

Every night, every day

That's what she'd like. Only there's life

Only there's time

And that deadly moment when the nasty husband

kills the prince charming

Love, her beautiful love, it isn't worth much

as a calendar

The beating of her heart, the softness of her flesh...

I forgot them.

Where on Earth did she go ?

Now it's raining des cordes

For God's sake look at me

Here am I like a dummy, place de la Concorde !

That's it, I can see her

Wait for me !

Wait for me !

I love you !

I love you !

I love you !
