[English]

You laugh so badly, you laugh at life

Wine stains on your shirt

Which has two buttons burst open

On your body that repelled me

You make love in two thrusts

Love, the longing, and the tour

And while you articulate yourself

I sigh and you

Threaten to leave

Because I scream when you sing your memories

Well darling, then take the door

Because you know that nothing matters to me anymore

But say goodbye to me tomorrow

But say goodbye to me along the way

Go see the others, I don't care at all

I loved you but I assure you it's the end

...

Do you think you can finally tell me

That you'd be okay with us staying friends

No, that's nice, it's fine as it is

I already have plenty of friends

So I won't have to hear you anymore

Come home at night when I'm waiting for dawn

That arrives pushing the hours

I get up and you

Threaten to leave

Because I scream when you sing your memories

Well darling, then take the door

Because you know that nothing matters to me anymore

But say goodbye to me tomorrow

But say goodbye to me along the way

Go see the others, I don't care at all

I loved you but I assure you it's the end

But say goodbye to me tomorrow

But say goodbye to me along the way

Go see the others, I don't care at all

I loved you but I assure you it's the end

...

[French]

Tu ris si mal, tu ris de vivre

Des tâches de vin sur ta chemise

Qui a deux boutons éclatés

Sur ton corps qui me repoussait

Tu fais l'amour en deux poussées

L'amour, le manque et la tournée

Et pendant que tu t'articules

Moi je soupire et toi tu me

Menaces de partir

Parce que je hurle quand tu chantes tes souvenirs

Et bien chéri, prends donc la porte

Car tu sais que plus rien ne m'importe

Mais dis-moi adieu demain

Mais dis-moi adieu en chemin

Vas voir les autres je n'en pense rien

Je t'ai aimé mais je t'assure que c'est la fin

Crois-tu pouvoir enfin me dire

Que tu veux bien qu'on reste amis

Non c'est gentil ça va comme ça

Des amis j'en ai plein déjà

Je n'aurais donc plus à t'entendre

Rentrer la nuit quand j'attends l'aube

Qui arrive en poussant les heures

Moi je me lève et toi tu me

Menaces de partir

Parce que je hurle quand tu chantes tes souvenirs

Eh bien chéri, prends donc la porte

Car tu sais que plus rien ne m'importe

Mais dis-moi adieu demain

Mais dis-moi adieu en chemin

Vas voir les autres je n'en pense rien

Je t'ai aimé mais je t'assure que c'est la fin

Mais dis-moi adieu demain

Mais dis-moi adieu en chemin

Vas voir les autres je n'en pense rien

Je t'ai aimé mais je t'assure que c'est la fin
