Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bien trop simple by Joyce Jonathan from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Il la regardait marcher
He was watching her walk
Je le regardais aller
I was watching him go
Toujours ses yeux se posaient
Always his eyes were all
Vers moi parfois j'espérais
To me sometimes I hoped
Je le regardais aller
I was watching him go
Il la regardait marcher
He was watching her walk
Toujours ses yeux se posaient
Always his eyes were all
Vers moi parfois je voulais
To me sometimes I wanted
En moi je désespérais
In me I despaired
Et toi tu la cherchais
And you were looking for her
Et c'est quand il te plait qu'il va t'abandonner
And it's when he pleases that he's going to abandon you
C'est trop simple
It's too simple
Mais c'est quand tu lui plais tu vas l'abandonner
But that's when he likes you're going to give it up
C'est trop simple, c'est trop simple, bien trop simple
It's too simple, it's too simple, way too simple
Je cherchais à éviter son regard sur moi posé
I was trying to avoid his gaze on me posed
Et déjà plus exister ce qui avait commencé
And already no longer exist what had begun
Et moi je désespérais
And I despaired
Et toi tu me cherchais
And you were looking for me
Mais c est quand il te plait qu'il va t abandonner
But it's when you like it that he'll give up
C'est trop simple
It's too simple
Mais c est quand tu lui plais tu vas l'abandonner
But that's when he likes you're going to give it up
C'est trop simple, c'est trop simple, bien trop simple
It's too simple, it's too simple, way too simple
