Tout comme je traversais l'avenue
Just as I was crossing the avenue
Quelqu'un s'est cogn? dans ma vue
Has anyone bumped into each other? in my sight
Et qui m'a dit br?le-pourpoint
And who told me to burn-out
'vous connaissiez la p'tite marie
'you knew the little marie
Si jeune, et surtout si jolie
So young, and especially so pretty
Ben, elle est morte depuis ce matin...'
Well, she's been dead since this morning...'
'mais comment ?a c'est effroyable
'but how?a it's appalling
'c'est pire que ?a c'est incroyable
'It's worse than?a it's amazing
'hier encore... et aujourd'hui...'
'Yesterday again... and today...'
Oui, voil?... tous est fini...'
Yes, that's it?... all is finished...'
Alors l?, j'ai pens? nous
So there, I thought? We
Aux petites histoires de rien du tout
To the little stories of nothing at all
Aux choses qui prennent des proportions
Things that take on proportions
Rien que dans notre imagination
In our imagination
C'est pas grand chose, un grand amour
It's not much, a great love
Non, vraiment, ?a ne p?se pas lourd
No, really, it doesn't take heavy weight
Pour peu qu'on se quitte sur une dispute
As long as we part on an argument
Et que la fiert? entre dans la lutte
And that pride? enters the fight
Qu'on s'en aille chacun de son c?t?
Let's go each of our own?
R'garde un peu ce qui peut t'arriver
A'garde a little what can happen to you
Je la revois, la p'tite marie
I see her again, the little marie
Mon dieu, comme elle ?tait jolie
God, how pretty she was
'y a des coups vraiment malheureux
'there are some really unfortunate blows
Elle avait tout pour ?tre heureuse
She had everything to be happy
Bien s?r, elle est pas malheureuse
Of course, she's not unhappy
Mais lui qui reste, ?a c'est affreux
But he who stays, it's awful
Qu'est-ce qu'il va faire de ses journ?es
What's he going to do with his day?
Et de toutes ses nuits, et de ses ann?es
And all his nights, and his years
Hier encore... et aujourd'hui
Just yesterday... and today
Leur belle histoire, elle est finie
Their beautiful story, it's over
Alors l?, moi, je pense nous
So, I think we're
Aux p'tites histoires de rien du tout
To the little stories of nothing at all
Aux choses qui prennent des proportions
Things that take on proportions
Rien que dans notre imagination
In our imagination
Comment t'ai-je quitt? ce matin
How did I leave you? This morning
On a voulu faire les malins
We wanted to be smart
On s'est quitt?s sur une dispute
We got away with an argument
Et on a jou? c?ur qui lutte
And we played? heart that struggles
Alors t'es parti de ton c?t?
So you left your side?
Pourvu qu'il n'te soit rien arriv?
I hope nothing happened to you?
Mon dieu, ayez piti? de moi
God, have piti? of me
Demandez-moi n'importe quoi
Ask me anything
Mais lui, surtout, laissez-le moi
But he, above all, let him
Mon ch?ri, tu ?tais l?
My check, are you there?
Je parlais seule, comme tu le vois
I was talking to me alone, as you can see
Mon amour, prends-moi dans tes bras
My love, take me in your arms
Non... ne dis rien... c'est ?a, tais-toi
No... Don't say anything... It's?a, shut up
Tu te souviens d' la p'tite marie
You remember the little bride
La gosse qui aimait tant la vie
The kid who loved life so much
Ben, elle est morte depuis ce matin
Well, she's been dead since this morning
Oui, comme tu dis, c'est effroyable
Yes, as you say, it's appalling
C'est pire que ?a, c'est incroyable
It's worse than?a, it's amazing
Serre-moi plus fort tout contre toi
Squeeze me harder against you
Ch?ri... comme je suis bien dans tes bras
Ch?ri... how well I am in your arms
