Dans la cohue de la salle des pas perdus
In the hustle and bustle of the lost steps room
Elle courait après son train du soir
She was chasing her evening train
Je l'attendais depuis déjà tant d'années
I've been waiting for so many years
Le temps d'y croire elle m'avait échappé
Time to believe it had eluded me
Elle était
She was
Et moi j'était comme un fou
And I was like a madman
Elle était
She was
A se mettre à genoux
Getting down on your knees
Des cheveux blonds
Blonde hair
Y'en avait plein les wagons
There were plenty of cars
Mais ce n'était pas ce que je cherchais
But it wasn't what I was looking for
Six heures trente-six
Six and a half hours
En direction de senlis
Towards senlis
Et chaque tour de roue me répétait
And every turn of the wheel kept telling me
Qu'elle était
That she was
Et moi j'était comme un fou
And I was like a madman
Elle était
She was
A se mettre à genoux
Getting down on your knees
Dans ce train qui se traîne
On this train that's dragging itself
Dans les forêts d'hlm
In the hlm forests
Sous un ciel de fumée
Under a sky of smoke
Elle se cache
She's hiding
Dans un coin de fenêtre
In a window corner
Mais comment la trouver
But how to find it
Elle était
She was
Et moi j'était comme un fou
And I was like a madman
Elle était
She was
A se mettre à genoux
Getting down on your knees
Dans mon train qui s'envole
On my train that flies away
Je vois des gondoles
I see gondolas
Des pigeons des palais
Pigeons from the palaces
En gare de venise
In Venice station
Elle me donne sa valise
She's giving me her suitcase
C'est comme si j'y étais
It's like I'm there
Mais je n'y suis pas
But I'm not there
J'ai la banlieue devant moi
I've got the suburbs in front of me
Et une fille qui saute sur le quai
And a girl who jumps on the dock
En gare de sorcelles
In witches' station
Le temps de voir que c'est elle
Time to see that it's her
Mon train repart et elle disparaît
My train leaves and it disappears
Elle était
She was
Et moi j'était comme un fou
And I was like a madman
Elle était
She was
A se mettre à genoux
Getting down on your knees
A se mettre à genoux
Getting down on your knees
