Lyrics

Je remets ce disque que tu n'écoutes pas
mon esprit est ailleurs
le front contre la vitre je te revois partir
en déchirant mon cњur
ta voiture s’est fondue dans la nuit
et mon dieu que c’est dur de voir mourir sa vie
O oui le plus malheureux
c’est celui qui reste
et celui qui reste
c’est moi
oui le plus malheureux
c’est celui qui reste
et celui qui reste
c’est moi
D’une main pensive je frôle les objets
que tu aimais hier
tu gardes notre enfant
moi cette maison froide
o j’ai logél'hiver
devant toi j’ai su ne pas pleurer
mais je n’ai même pas su garder cette fierté
O oui le plus malheureux
c’est celui qui reste
et celui qui reste
c’est moi
oui le plus malheureux
c’est celui qui reste
et celui qui reste
c’est moi

Lyrics translation

I'm handing over that record you're not listening to.
my mind is elsewhere
the front against the window I see you go again
ripping my heart
your car melted in the night
and my god it's hard to see his life die
O yes most unfortunate
it's the one that stays
and the one that remains
it's me.
yes the most unfortunate
it's the one that stays
and the one that remains
it's me.
With a thoughtful hand I touch objects
that you loved yesterday
you're guarding our child.
me this cold house
o I stayed in the winter
in front of you I knew not to cry
but I didn't even know how to keep that pride
O yes most unfortunate
it's the one that stays
and the one that remains
it's me.
yes the most unfortunate
it's the one that stays
and the one that remains
it's me.
