Pendant que le chanteur chantait
While the singer sang
Ses pacotilles enviolonnés
His mess-scumbags
La fille en coulisse écoutait
The girl backstage was listening
Émerveillée, abandonnée
Amazed, abandoned
Mais comment faisait-il sans la connaître
But how did he do it without knowing her
Pour savoir sa vie par coeur?
To know his life by heart?
Est-ce qu'il s'était penché à sa fenêtre
Had he leaned over his window
Une nuit en spectacteur?
A night in a spectator?
Pendant que le chanteur dansait
While the singer was dancing
Ses quatre pas de dérision
His four steps of derision
La fille en coulisse pensait
The girl behind the scenes thought
Qu'elle était là, de ses chansons
That she was there, of her songs
Si tu savais combien de vrai chagrin
If you knew how much real grief
Se raccroche au ciel artificiel de tes refrains
Hangs on to the artificial sky of your choruses
Après l'après-dernier appel
After the post-last call
Il est allé se rhabiller
He went to get dressed
Dire qu'il était là tout près d'elle
I can't believe he was there, right next to her
Derrière la porte verrouillée
Behind the locked door
Savait-il seulement qu'aux heures grises
Did he only know that in the grey hours
C'est lui qui tenait sa main?
Is he holding his hand?
Qui l'empechait de faire des bêtises
Who prevented him from doing stupid things
En disant: 'c'est beau demain'
Saying 'it's beautiful tomorrow'
Pendant que le chanteur rentrait
While the singer was coming home
Accompagné d'une imprévue
Accompanied by an unforeseen
La fille en coulisse rêvait
The girl behind the scenes dreamed
Que c'était lui qu'elle avait vu
That it was him that she had seen
Si tu savais combien de vrai chagrin
If you knew how much real grief
Se raccroche au ciel artificiel de tes refrains
Hangs on to the artificial sky of your choruses
