Je cherche les images roses
I'm looking for pink images
Suppose que je me sois trompée
Guess I was wrong
Je trouve un polar gai
I find a gay thriller
Toi en panama 'la baie d'Along'
You in Panama 'Along Bay'
Et moi ma robe en soie
And me my silk dress
La troll avec ses larges oreilles
The troll with her big ears
Gentille comme Simplet
Kind as Simpleton
Et parce que je partais la nuit
And because I was leaving at night
Comme allumeuse de jonque
As a junk tease
Tu m'as prise sur la banquette
You took me on the bench
Pleurant, saké sanglant
Crying, bloody sake
C'est toujours ainsi
It's always like this
Que la rose est ternie
That the rose is tarnished
Mon souvenir s'fait le tri
My memory is being sorted
Mettant autant de bleu que de gris
Putting as much blue as gray
Si je cherche des souvenirs roses
If I look for pink memories
Il y a un carnet qui dispose
There is a notebook that has
De belles images de nous
Beautiful pictures of us
En Bretagne et qui posent
In Brittany and who pose
Et je creuse sur la plage
And I dig on the beach
J'trouve partout ton image
I find your image everywhere
J'entends comme une cornemuse
I hear like a bagpipe
Tu n'es pas là
You are not there
Et les feuilles s'amusent
And the leaves have fun
Dans le vent
In the wind
Embarquant les papiers blancs
Shipping the white papers
C'est toujours ainsi
It's always like this
Que la rose est ternie
That the rose is tarnished
Mon souvenir s'fait le tri
My memory is being sorted
Mettant autant de bleu que de gris
Putting as much blue as gray
Revenant au carnet rose
Returning to the pink notebook
Tu as sauvé mon toutou
You saved my doggie
Parce qu'il était à moi, je suppose
Because he was mine, I guess
Car, mon Dieu, t'aimes pas les chiens
Because, my God, you don't like dogs
Mais t'étais très chic avec le mien
But you were very chic with mine
Je trie comme quelqu'un qui perd les pages
I sort like someone who loses pages
Y a du vent sur la plage
It's windy on the beach
Et c'est vrai, l'autre soir
And it's true, the other night
J'ai failli te ranger dans un bouquin noir
I almost put you in a black book
C'est toujours ainsi
It's always like this
Que la rose est ternie
That the rose is tarnished
Mon souvenir s'fait le tri
My memory is being sorted
Mettant autant de bleu que de gris
Putting as much blue as gray
Aujourd'hui, parce qu'il fait beau
Today, because the weather is nice
J'pense à toi et ton bateau
I think of you and your boat
Aujourd'hui, parce qu'il pleut plus
Today, because it's raining more
Je regrette ton absence, dépourvue
I regret your absence, deprived
Mon souvenir s'fait le tri
My memory is being sorted
Mettant autant de bleu que de gris
Putting as much blue as gray
