Avant d'ouvrir le gaz
Before turning on the gas
Elle pense à son canari
She thinks of her canary
Avant d'en finir
Before ending
Une fois pour toute avec la vie
Once and for all with life
Elle prend la cage
She takes the cage
Et va sur le balcon
And go to the balcony
Le vent glacé de l'hiver la saisit
The icy winter wind seizes her
Lui donne des frissons
Gives him chills
Elle a ouvert le gaz
She turned on the gas
Et s'allonge sur son lit
And lies down on his bed
Sur le pickup
On the pickup
Elle a mis son disque favori
She put on her favorite record
Déjà, elle n'a plus toute sa raison
Already, she no longer has all her reason
Elle voit d'étranges fleurs
She sees strange flowers
Des fleurs bizarres
Weird flowers
Et des papillons
And butterflies
Tandis que sur Londres
While on London
Lentement descend la nuit
Slowly descends the night
Sur le guéridon
On the table
Auprès de la fille endormie
Next to the sleeping girl
On peut lire, griffonnés au crayon
We can read, scribbled in pencil
Rien que ces quelques mots
Just these few words
'Le canari est sur le balcon'
'The canary is on the balcony'
