Oh, pardon, tu dormais
Oh, sorry, you were sleeping
Je n'dors plus, tu vois bien
I don't sleep anymore, you see
Le moment est parfait
The timing is perfect
Pour m'dire si tu m'aimais
To tell me if you loved me
Si tu m'aimais
If you loved me
Encore
Again
Oh, pardon, tu dormais
Oh, sorry, you were sleeping
Ouais, tu m'as réveillé
Yeah, you woke me up
T'aurais pu m'empêcher
You could have stopped me
D'un mouvement de ta main
With a movement of your hand
J'n'aurais pas commencé
I wouldn't have started
Tu aurais dû me dire
You should have told me
'Reste, je te garderai'
'Stay, I'll keep you'
Oh, pardon, tu dormais
Oh, sorry, you were sleeping
J'te sens énervée
I feel you angry
Parfois, il me semblait
Sometimes it seemed to me
Que j't'aimais tellement fort
That I loved you so much
Que j'allais éclater
That I was going to burst
En te voyant rentrer le soir
Seeing you come home in the evening
Oh, pardon
Oh, sorry
Oh, pardon, tu dormais, ce soir
Oh, sorry, you were sleeping tonight
Oh, pardon, tu dormais
Oh, sorry, you were sleeping
Là, on va s'engueuler
There we are going to argue
Et moi courais vers toi
And I was running towards you
Comme dans tous ces films
Like in all these movies
Moi, j'étais à ton cou
I was on your neck
Mais je restais figée
But I remained frozen
Et oui, ça, tu le voyais
And yes, you saw that
Oh, pardon, tu dormais
Oh, sorry, you were sleeping
T'as fini d'm'emmerder?
Are you done bothering me?
Mais où donc est passée
But where did it go?
Cette chose lumineuse en moi?
This bright thing inside me?
Je voulais la passion
I wanted passion
Qui empêche de penser
Which prevents you from thinking
Et qui empêche
And who prevents
D'être lucide
To be lucid
Oh, pardon, tu dormais
Oh, sorry, you were sleeping
Je sens qu'c'est terminé
I feel like it's over
Je te faisais la gueule
I was pissing you off
Parce que t'étais rentré
Because you came home
Sans même me dire bonsoir
Without even saying good evening
Même pour un chien
Even for a dog
On a des gestes
We have gestures
Oh, pardon
Oh, sorry
Oh, pardon, tu dormais, ce soir
Oh, sorry, you were sleeping tonight
Je veux dormir au pied de ton lit
I want to sleep at the foot of your bed
Je suis un chien
I am a dog
Oh, pardon
Oh, sorry
Oh, pardon, tu dormais, ce soir
Oh, sorry, you were sleeping tonight
