La voilà qui rentre dans le bistrot
Here she is entering the bistro
Ca fait une heure que t'attends
It's been an hour that you've been waiting
T'as déjà bu 7 cafés
You've already had 7 coffees
T'as des tics des tremblements
You have tremor tics
A peine assise elle te dit
As soon as she sits down she tells you
Qu'on peut pas rester longtemps
That you can't stay long
T'aurais préféré toute la nuit
Would have preferred you all night
Elle partage pas tes sentiments
She doesn't share your feelings
Tu lui fais des yeux de faon malade
You make him sick fawn eyes
Elle regarde sa montre
She looks at her watch
Pendant que tu parles 'bip' son portable
While you're talking 'beep' your cell phone
Ca la gène pas de t'interrompre
It doesn't bother you to interrupt
Une autre fille attend seule au coin du comptoir
Another girl waits alone at the corner of the counter
On lui a posé un lapin t'es trop occupé pour la voir
We put a rabbit on her you're too busy to see her
Tu dévisages l'autre qui parle au téléphone très fort
You stare at the other person who talks on the phone very loudly
T'as l'impression d'être invisible t'as pas tort!
You feel like you're invisible you're not wrong!
Elle raccroche faute de batterie
She hangs up for lack of battery
Tu recommences à la pister
You start tracking it again
Elle te raconte sa vie
She tells you about her life
Tu fais vachement bien le mec captivé!
You do really well the captivated guy!
Elle est un peu mannequin
She's a bit of a model
Un peu actrice un peu serveuse
A bit of an actress a bit of a waitress
Elle est un peu pédante un peu égoïste
She's a bit pedantic a little selfish
Un peu allumeuse
A little lighter
Mais elle est jolie
But she's pretty
T'aimerais la connaître bibliquement
Would you like to know it biblically
Bibliquement en poésie
Biblically in poetry
Ca veut dire 'cabosser' tout simplement
It simply means 'denting'
Au coin du bar la fille au lapin s'ennuie
Around the corner from the bar the rabbit girl is bored
En y regardant de plus près elle aussi elle est jolie
On closer inspection she is also pretty.
Tu la trouverais adorable et chose qui n'a plus de prix
You'd find it adorable and priceless
Elle coupe son portable quand elle est en bonne compagnie
She cuts her cell phone when she's in good company
Mais c'est l'autre que tu convoites
But it's the other you covet
Tu te décides à conclure
You decide to conclude
Sa réponse est 'niet'
His answer is 'niet'
Elle rejette ta candidature
She rejects your application
Elle avait oublié de te dire
She forgot to tell you
Elle a déjà un copain
She already has a boyfriend
Ca finit de t'anéantir
It finishes annihilating you
C'est le coup du lapin
It's whiplash
Habillé pour l'hiver
Dressed for winter
T'as pris une belle veste
You took a nice jacket
C'est plutôt une canadienne
Rather, she is a Canadian
Avec une doublure en gore-tex!
With a gore-tex lining!
La fille au lapin paye son verre
The rabbit girl pays for her drink
Elle en a marre
She's fed up with it
Tu la remarques enfin lorsqu'elle quitte le bar
You finally notice her when she leaves the bar
Trop tard!
Too late!
