Je t'en prie, va-t'en sans attendre
Please, go away without waiting
Si t'as des cœurs à prendre
If you have hearts to win
Si tu t'ennuies
If you're bored
Et tant pis, moi, je peux tout entendre
And too bad, I can hear everything
Je peux tout comprendre
I can understand everything
Et même, je t'envie
And I even envy you
Quoi? J'vais pas t'casser la gueule
What? I'm not gonna beat you up
Je suis très bien toute seule
I'm very well on my own
Alors, bon vent
So, farewell
Quoi? J'vais pas sortir mon flingue
What? I'm not gonna pull out my gun
Tu m'as pas rendue dingue
You didn't drive me crazy
Alors, bon vent
So, farewell
Sans bruit, laissons un geste tendre
Silently, let's leave a tender gesture
Le temps passé ensemble
The time we spent together
Où l'on a tant ri
Where we laughed so much
Tant pis, pour le soir de décembre
Too bad for the December evening
Pour le froid dans la chambre
For the cold in the room
Pour le grand lit
For the big bed
Quoi? J'vais pas t'casser la gueule
What? I'm not gonna beat you up
Je suis très bien toute seule
I'm very well on my own
Alors, bon vent
So, farewell
Quoi? J'vais pas sortir mon flingue
What? I'm not gonna pull out my gun
Tu m'as pas rendue dingue
You didn't drive me crazy
Alors, bon vent
So, farewell
Je t'en prie, va-t'en sans attendre
Please, go away without waiting
Si t'as des cœurs à prendre
If you have hearts to win
Si tu t'ennuies
If you're bored
Va t'enfuir, t'as pas de comptes à rendre
Go run away, you don't have to answer to anyone
Va-t'en sans esclandres
Go away without a scene
Et sans cris
And without shouting
Quoi? J'vais pas t'casser la gueule
What? I'm not gonna beat you up
Je suis très bien toute seule
I'm very well on my own
Alors, bon vent
So, farewell
Quoi? J'vais pas sortir mon flingue
What? I'm not gonna pull out my gun
Tu m'as pas rendue dingue
You didn't drive me crazy
Alors, bon vent
So, farewell
Bon vent
Farewell

bon vent — fair winds / good riddance
Bon vent literally translates to "good wind" or "fair winds," a traditional nautical farewell wishing someone a safe journey.
However, in this song, it's used with a more colloquial and somewhat sarcastic meaning, akin to "good riddance" or "off you go." The singer is telling her lover to leave without fuss, implying she's better off without him, making it a clever and emotionally charged phrase.
