Il m'appelait darling
He called me darling
En buvant son long drink
While drinking his long drink
Tout de lin blanc vêtu
Dressed all in white linen
Pochette mauve et pieds nus
Purple pocket square and barefoot
Il m'appelait darling
He called me darling
Comme un grand frère unique
Like a unique big brother
Un oncle d'Amérique
An uncle from America
Tout seul dans le living
All alone in the living room
Il me disait darling
He would say to me darling
L'époque est bien cruelle
Times are cruel
Mais pour toi elle est belle
But for you they are beautiful
Tu es faite pour le ring
You are made for the ring
Et il me disait darling
And he would say to me darling
Quand on à l'étincelle
When you have the spark
Et des rêves à la pelle
And dreams by the handful
On doit piquer son sprint
You have to dash off
Il m'appelait darling
He called me darling
Comme un vieux Lord anglais
Like an old English Lord
Un cousin égaré
A lost cousin
Entre Proust et Kipling
Between Proust and Kipling
Il m'appelait darling
He called me darling
Tout en me souriant
All while smiling at me
Et je le revois si grand
And I see him so tall
Nostalgique et charming
Nostalgic and charming
Il me disait darling
He would say to me darling
Prends garde à l'existence
Watch out for life
Tout est dans l'élégance
Everything is in elegance
Même au creux d'un looping
Even in the heart of a loop
Il me disait darling
He would say to me darling
Rien ne vous l'éphémère
Nothing is ephemeral
Rien ne vaut le mystère
Nothing is worth more than mystery
Dans une larme de gin
In a tear of gin
Il m'appelait darling
He called me darling
Mais plus rien ne lui était cher
But nothing mattered to him anymore
Et sa solitude amère
And his bitter solitude
Lui allait comme un smoking
Suited him like a tuxedo
Il m'appelait darling
He called me darling
Mais quand tombait le soir
But when evening fell
A l'heure du désespoir
At the hour of despair
Il plongeait dans son spleen
He would dive into his spleen
Il me disait darling
He would say to me darling
Certains sont trop fragiles
Some are too fragile
Certains sont mal habiles
Some are clumsy
Tout le monde n'a pas ton swing
Not everyone has your swing
Il me disait darling
He would say to me darling
Je n'ai plus de saveur
I no longer have flavor
Je n'ai plus rien à cœur
I have nothing to give
Plus l'ombre d'un feeling
Not a shadow of feeling
Il m'appelait darling
He called me darling
Maintenant j'ai ton silence
Now I have your silence
Le trou de son absence
The hole of his absence
Et sa montre Breitling
And his Breitling watch
Il m'a écrit darling
He wrote to me darling
À toi mon dernier mot
Yours, my last word
Ne m'en veux pas darling
Don't be mad at me darling
Je quitte le bateau
I’m leaving the ship
Et il m'appelait darling
And he called me darling
Dis à ceux que j'aimais
Tell those I loved
Que mon corps de bastringue
That my carnival body
A fini par lâcher
Finally gave out
