Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ca A Raté by Françoise Hardy from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Un jour que dans la rue
One day in the street
Seule je me promenais
Alone I walked
Un garcon inconnu
An unknown boy
Soudain m'a accostée
Suddenly accosted me
J'ai fait celle qui n'entendait rien
I did the one who didn't hear anything
Ne voyait rien et l'ignorait
Didn't see anything and ignored it
Mais ca a raté
But it failed
Le lendemain par hasard
The next day by chance
Comme je me promenais
As I walked
Je l'ai vu sans retard
I saw it without delay
Venir me relancer
Come and revive me
Pour le décourager
To discourage him
Je lui ai parlé de moi sans arret
I talked to him about myself non-stop
Mais ca a raté
But it failed
Il m'a dit Que faites-vous ce soir
He told me what are you doing tonight
Et il a si bien insisté
And he insisted so well
Que jusqu'à minuit et plus tard
That until midnight and later
Ensemble, oui, nous avons twisté
Together, yes, we twisted
Il m'a dit Que faites-vous ce soir
He told me what are you doing tonight
Et il a si bien insisté
And he insisted so well
Que jusqu'à minuit et plus tard
That until midnight and later
Ensemble, oui, nous avons twisté
Together, yes, we twisted
On se voit chaque jour
We see each other every day
Et, dois-je l'avouer
And, must I admit
Je suis prise à mon tour
I'm taken in my turn
Car je crois bien l'aimer
Because I think I love him
Moi qui voulais
I who wanted
A tout prix l'éviter
Avoid it at all costs
Je suis bien heureuse que ca ait raté
I'm very happy that it failed
Moi qui voulais
I who wanted
A tout prix l'éviter
Avoid it at all costs
Je suis bien heureuse que ca ait raté
I'm very happy that it failed
