Qu'à part moi-même personne

N'a jamais pris dans ses bras
Never took in his arms
Ca vous étonne
You're surprised
Mais c'est comme ça
But that's the way it is
Elle avait de l'amour
She had love
Pauvre melody nelson
Poor melody nelson
Ouais, elle en avait des tonnes

Mais ses jours étaient comptés
But his days were numbered
Quatorze automnes
Fourteen autumns
Et quinze étés
And fifteen summers

Et si délicieuse enfant
