[Français]

[English]

J'ai vu la fin, souvent

I've seen the end, often

J'ai vu les portes se fermer

I've seen the doors close

Tant j'ai de mal à te cerner

I have so much trouble figuring you out

Ta mélancolie en ces dimanches passés affalé

Your melancholy on those Sundays spent sprawled out

J'ai vu des tonnes de paires de jambes à l'envers

I've seen tons of pairs of legs upside down

Crois-moi, j'te jure c'est les tiennes que j'préfère, woah-oh

Believe me, I swear it's yours I prefer, woah-oh

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, don't go

J'ai cru qu'je serai capable, quand t'étais détestable, de rester agréable

I thought I'd be able, when you were detestable, to stay pleasant

Et j'étais sûr que j'étais tout, et j'étais tout sauf ça

And I was sure I was everything, and I was everything but that

J'ai cru qu'ce serait facile du côté tactile

I thought it would be easy on the touchy-feely side

Grâce à toi j'ai compris l'sens du mot "torride" et juste pour ça

Thanks to you I understood the meaning of the word "torrid" and just for that

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, ah-ah-ah... (darling, don't go)

Oh my sweet darling, ah-ah-ah... (darling, don't go)

J'ai vu ces nuits sans fin et ces lendemains

I've seen those endless nights and those tomorrows

Sur ma peau j'en tiens tous les refrains

On my skin I keep all the refrains

La sueur de ces soir où vous et moi, un peu par hasard

The sweat of those evenings where you and I, a little by chance

J'ai vu des premières fois, des hauts, des bas

I've seen first times, ups, downs

Et ton débat sur des gens comme moi

And your debate about people like me

Attention à toi car tes fesses, moi je m'en lasse pas

Be careful because your behind, I never get tired of it

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, ah-ah-ah... (darling, don't go)

Oh my sweet darling, ah-ah-ah... (darling, don't go)

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, no, don't go

Oh my sweet darling, ah-ah-ah... (darling, don't go)

Oh my sweet darling, ah-ah-ah... (darling, don't go)
