Sous aucun prétexte
Under no circumstances
Je ne veux
I don't want
Avoir de réflexes
Have reflexes
Malheureux
Unhappy
Il faut que tu m'expliques
You need to explain to me
Un peu mieux
A little better
Comment te dire adieu
How to say goodbye
Mon cœur de silex
My heart of flint
Vite prend feu
Quickly catches fire
Ton cœur de pyrex
Your heart of pyrex
Résiste au feu
Fire resistant
Je suis bien perplexe
I am very perplexed
Je ne veux
I don't want
Me résoudre aux adieux
Resolve to say goodbye
Je sais bien qu'un ex-amour
I know that an ex-love
N'a pas de chance, ou si peu
Has no luck, or very little
Mais pour moi, une explication
But for me, an explanation
Vaudrait mieux
Would be better
Sous aucun prétexte
Under no circumstances
Je ne veux
I don't want
Devant toi, surexposer mes yeux
In front of you, overexpose my eyes
Derrière un Kleenex
Behind a Kleenex
Je saurai mieux
I will know better
Comment te dire adieu
How to say goodbye
Comment te dire adieu
How to say goodbye
Tu as mis à l'index
You put on the index
Nos nuits blanches
Our sleepless nights
Nos matins gris-bleu
Our gray-blue mornings
Mais pour moi, une explication
But for me, an explanation
Vaudrait mieux
Would be better
Sous aucun prétexte
Under no circumstances
Je ne veux
I don't want
Devant toi, surexposer mes yeux
In front of you, overexpose my eyes
Derrière un Kleenex
Behind a Kleenex
Je saurai mieux
I will know better
Comment te dire adieu
How to say goodbye
Comment te dire adieu
How to say goodbye
Comment te dire adieu
How to say goodbye
