Lyrics
Comme ils nous regardaient, les gens.
Nous, on ne voyait pas les gens.
Pour nous, ils? taient transparents.
On ignorait les gens.
On? tait seuls au monde.
Comme ils? taient press? s, les gens,
Mais nous, on fl? nait en r? vant.
Un soleil? clatant
Inondait notre monde…
Comme ils? taient tristes, les gens
Car ils ne savaient pas, les gens,
Que des fleurs couvraient les pav? s,
Que le printemps naissait
En plein c? ur de l’automne.
Comme ils? taient surpris, les gens,
Peut-?tre un peu jaloux, les gens,
Des amants qui disaient «toujours»
Et qui parlaient d’amour
Sans s’occuper des gens.
Comme ils nous regardaient, les gens.
Nous, en ne voyait pas les gens,
On se regardait dans les yeux.
C'?tait vertigineux.
C'?tait le grand naufrage.
Ils? taient fascin? s, les gens.
Ils n’avaient jamais vu, les gens,
Une telle folie, de tels amants,
De tels indiff? rents
Aux gens et? leur? ge.
Comme ils? taient dr? les, les gens.
Comme ils baissaient les yeux, les gens,
Quand, tous deux, on s’est enlac?,
Quand on s’est embrass?
En se disant «Je t’aime».
Comme ils? taient press? s, les gens,
Mais ils se retournaient, les gens,
Pour voir encore ces deux amants
Qui s’aimaient tellement
A faire r? ver les gens.
Comme ils nous regardaient, les gens.
Nous on ne voyait pas les gens.
Comme ils? taient press? s, les gens.
Nous on ne voyait pas les gens.
Comme ils se retournaient, les gens
Nous on ne voyait pas les gens…
Lyrics translation
The way they looked at us, people.
We didn't see people.
For us, they? were transparent.
We didn't know people.
We? alone in the world.
Like them? taient press? s, people,
What about us? born in r? wind.
A sun? rinsing
Flooded our world…
Like them? were sad, people
Because they didn't know, people,
That flowers covered the pavs? s,
That spring was born
In the middle of c? ur of autumn.
Like them? were surprised, people,
Maybe?be a little jealous, people,
Lovers who said " always»
And who spoke of love
Without taking care of people.
The way they looked at us, people.
We, in did not see people,
We were looking into each other's eyes.
C'?he was dizzy.
C'?there was the great shipwreck.
They? were you fascinated? s, people.
They had never seen, people,
Such madness, such lovers,
Such indifference? rents
To people and? their? ge.
Like them? were you dr? people.
As they looked down, people,
When did we both get together?,
When we caught fire?
By saying, " I love you."
Like them? taient press? s, people,
But they turned around, people,
To see these two lovers again
Who loved each other so much
To do r? worm people.
The way they looked at us, people.
We didn't see people.
Like them? taient press? s, people.
We didn't see people.
As they turned around, people
We couldn't see people…
