Tant pis, je vais flâner vers Notre Dame, brûlée
Too bad, I'll stroll towards Notre Dame, burned
Tant pis, je reste sur le macadam, pavé
Too bad, I'll stay on the asphalt, paved
C'est presque rien mais j'en fais tout un drame, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's almost nothing but I make a whole drama out of it, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Parc fermé
Closed park
Tant pis, je vais tenter de boire un verre, glacé
Too bad, I'll try to drink a glass, iced
Au milieu, de milliers de solitaires, je sais
Amidst thousands of lonely people, I know
Je n'aime la mer que lorsque je suis sur terre, yeah, yeah, yeah
I only like the sea when I'm on land, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Parc fermé
Closed park
Est-ce une avalanche, un imprévu
Is it an avalanche, an unforeseen event
Je sentais bien que la terre penchait dès le début
I could feel the earth tilting from the start
Nous portions des mitaines
We wore mittens
Au bon temps de la Saint Martin
In the good old days of Saint Martin's
Parc fermé
Closed park
Je rêvais de retrouver ce vieux banc d'acier
I dreamed of finding that old steel bench again
De regarder passer la vie des gens, passer
Of watching people's lives go by, go by
Et par le grand soleil chauffé à blanc, qu'on se touche
And by the big sun heated white-hot, that we touch each other
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Parc fermé
Closed park
Je vais me contenter d'imaginer l'effet
I'll just imagine the effect
L'effet que ça ferait de t'embrasser, tu sais
The effect it would have to kiss you, you know
Que rien ne pourra jamais te remplacer, ni ta bouche
That nothing will ever replace you, nor your mouth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Parc fermé
Closed park
Est-ce une avalanche, un imprévu
Is it an avalanche, an unforeseen event
Je sentais bien que la terre penchait dès le début
I could feel the earth tilting from the start
Nous portions des mitaines
We wore mittens
Au bon temps de la Saint Martin
In the good old days of Saint Martin's
Sur le pont neuf y a plus que des vieux
On the Pont Neuf there are only old people left
Sur le pont neuf y a plus que des vieux
On the Pont Neuf there are only old people left
Sur le pont neuf y a plus que des vieux
On the Pont Neuf there are only old people left
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Parc fermé
Closed park
Je ne sais plus où aller, je suis désemparée
I don't know where to go anymore, I'm distraught
On devait se retrouve là, devant les rosiers
We were supposed to meet there, in front of the rose bushes
Je t'attendais mais je n'ai plus le courage, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was waiting for you but I don't have the courage anymore, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Parc fermé
Closed park
Retourner à la case départ ou avancer?
Go back to square one or move forward?
J'veux prendre le large marcher toute la journée
I want to get away and walk all day
Je t'ai laissée un avis de passage, yeah, yeah, yeah
I left you a notice of passage, yeah, yeah, yeah

Did you like this lyrics translation?
désemparée — helpless / distraught
Désemparée translates to "helpless" or "distraught." It's a strong, evocative adjective that conveys a deep sense of emotional distress and being at a loss.
In the song, the narrator sings, "Je ne sais plus où aller, je suis désemparée" (I don't know where to go anymore, I am distraught). This word perfectly captures the feeling of being lost and overwhelmed after a missed connection or a breakup, making it a poignant and memorable choice.
