Toujours La Même Lyrics in English by Stony
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Toujours La Même by Stony from French to English.
J'ai bien connu le gars qui rencontra la fille
I knew the guy well who met the girl
J'ai bien connu la fille qui souriait au gars
I knew the girl well who smiled at the guy
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Il lui a demandé du fil et des aiguilles
He asked her for thread and needles
Pour accrocher un cœur à son manteau de drap
To attach a heart to his coat
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Et elle a tout donné, le fil et les aiguilles
And she gave everything, the thread and the needles
Et puis son cœur de fille par-dessus le marché
And then her heart into the bargain
C'est toujours la même histoire
It's always the same story
J'ose à peine vous en parler
I barely dare to tell you about it
Moi, j'ai fait semblant d'y croire
Me, I pretended to believe it
Faites semblant de m'écouter
Pretend to listen to me
Alors, j'ai vu la fille inventer des dimanches
So, I saw the girl invent Sundays
Pour y danser l'amour, au bras de son amant
To dance love there, in her lover's arms
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Si l'amour était pur, si la vie était franche
If love was pure, if life was straightforward
Ils auraient pu s'aimer jusqu'au bout du long temps
They could've loved each other until the end of time
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Il a d'abord menti sans qu'elle veuille comprendre
He first lied without her wanting to understand
Mais elle a voulu s'pendre le jour qu'il est parti
But she wanted to hang herself the day he left
C'est toujours la même histoire
It's always the same story
J'ose à peine vous en parler
I barely dare to tell you about it
Moi, j'ai fait semblant d'y croire
Me, I pretended to believe it
Faites semblant de m'écouter
Pretend to listen to me
J'ai bien connu le gars qui a quitté la fille
I knew the guy well who left the girl
J'ai bien connu la fille qui pleurait pour le gars
I knew the girl well who cried for the guy
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Elle a pleuré longtemps et de fil en aiguille
She cried for a long time and little by little
Ses larmes vieillissaient mais ne guérissaient pas
Her tears aged but didn't heal
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Son cœur avait pris froid
Her heart had grown cold
C'est plus grave qu'on n' suppose
It's more serious than we suppose
Moi, j'en sais quelque chose
Me, I know a thing or two about it
La fille, c'était moi
The girl was me
Y a plus besoin de m'écouter
There's no need to listen to me anymore

s'pendre — to hang oneself
S'pendre is a colloquial and somewhat dramatic way to say "to hang oneself." It's a strong and impactful word that immediately conveys a sense of despair and desperation.
In the song, it appears in the line "Mais elle a voulu s'pendre le jour qu'il est parti" (But she wanted to hang herself the day he left). This word highlights the intense emotional pain and the drastic reaction of the girl after being abandoned, making it a memorable and poignant choice that stands out in the lyrics.
