These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Plus jamais ne prierai
Never pray again
Plus jamais ne rirai
Never laugh again
Avec leurs boniments
With their sales pitches
Ils ont tué mon amant
They killed my lover
Le bourdon peut sonner
The drone can ring
Le curé, marmonner
The priest, muttering
C'est pas ça qui le fera
That's not what will do it
Revenir dans mes bras
Come back into my arms
D'un petit air affranchi
With a little liberated air
Et la voix décidée
And the decided voice
Il a dit: 'Allons-y!
He said, 'Let's go!
Faut défendre ses idées!'
You have to defend your ideas!'
Mais, malgré sa grande gueule
But, despite his big mouth
Et ses yeux qu'il planquait
And his eyes that he hid
Je n'étais pas toute seule
I wasn't all alone
À chiâler sur le quai
To cry on the platform
Miséricorde!
Mercy!
Miséricorde!
Mercy!
Les petites croix blanches
The little white crosses
Ont des dimanches
Have Sundays
Qui ne sont pas gais
Who are not gay
Le ciel bleu d'un petit bal
The blue sky of a little ball
Du côté de Bougival
On the Bougival side
Dans mes yeux étonnés
In my astonished eyes
Continue de tourner
Keep spinning
Rien qu'à voir les péniches
Just seeing the barges
On rêvait de voyager
We dreamed of traveling
Pour ceux qui ne sont pas riches
For those who are not rich
Il suffit de rêver
Just dream
Le jardin qu'on aurait
The garden we would have
Serait plein de lilas
Would be full of lilacs
Et le gosse qu'on aurait
And the kid we would have
S'appellerait Jean-François
Would be called Jean-François
Les beaux rêves sont gratuits
Sweet dreams are free
Moi, le seul qui me reste
Me, the only one left
C'est l'odeur de sa veste
It's the smell of his jacket
Quand j'dansais contre lui
When I danced against him
Y'a plus qu'ça qui me rapproche
There's more than that that brings me closer
De celui qu'j'adorais
Of the one I adored
Mais la vie est si moche
But life is so ugly
Que même ça, je l'oublierai
That even that, I will forget it
Miséricorde!
Mercy!
Miséricorde!
Mercy!
Miséricorde!
Mercy!
