Lyrics
J’ai retrouvé Titine
Titine, oh ma Titine
J’ai retrouvé Titine
Que je ne trouvais pas
Je l’ai r’trouvÃ(c)e par hasard
Qui vendait du buvard
Derrière une vitrine
De la gare St-Lazare
Je lui ai dit, Titine
Titine, oh ma Titine
Je lui ai dit, Titine
Pourquoi m’avoir quitté?
Tu es partie comme ç a
Sans un geste, sans un mot
Voir un film de Charlot
Au ciné d' l’Olympia
Et y a trente ans dÃ(c)jÃ
Que nous t' cherchions partout
Mon Hispano et moi
En criant comme des fous
Je cherche après Titine
Titine, oh ma Titine
Je cherche après Titine
Mais j’ai r’trouvé Titine
Titine, oh ma Titine
J’ai retrouvé Titine
Que je ne trouvais pas
J' l’avais cherchÃ(c)e partout
Au Gabon, au Tonkin
J' l’avais cherchÃ(c)e en vain
Au Chili, au PÃ(c)rou
Et j' lui ai dit, Titine
Titine, oh ma Titine
Et j' lui ai dit, Titine
Je t’en supplie, reviens
Tu as changé, j' sais bien
T’es un peu moins tentante
Puis tu marches comme Chaplin
Puis t’es devenue parlante
Mais enfin, c’est mieux que rien
Quand on vit depuis trente ans
Tout seul avec un chien
Et avec douze enfants
Qui cherchent après Titine
Titine, oh ma Titine
Qui cherchent après Titine
Mais j’ai r’trouvé Titine
Titine oh ma Titine
J’ai retrouvé Titine
Que je ne trouvais pas
J’aimerais qu' vous la voyiez
Titine, elle est en or Bien plus que Valentine
Bien plus qu’ElÃ(c)onore
Mais hier, quand j' lui ai dit
Titine, oh, ma Titine
Quand j' lui ai dit, Titine
Est-ce que tu m’aimes encore?
Elle est r’partie, comme ç a
Sans un geste, sans un mot
Voir un film de Charlot
Au ciné d' l’Olympia
Alors voilà pourquoi
Nous la r’cherchons partout
Mon Hispano et moi
En criant comme des fous
Je cherche après Titine
Titine oh ma Titine
Je cherche après Titine
Mais je r’trouverai Titine
Titine, oh, ma Titine
Je retrouverai Titine
Et tout ç a s’arrangera
Lyrics translation
I found Titine
Titine, Oh my Titine
I found Titine
That I couldn't find
I found it (c)E by chance
Who was selling blotter
Behind a showcase
From St-Lazare station
I told him, Titine.
Titine, Oh my Titine
I told him, Titine.
Why did you leave me?
You left like this
Without a gesture, without a word
See a Charlot movie
At the cinema of Olympia
And thirty years ago (c) already
That we were looking for you everywhere
My Hispano and I
Screaming like crazy
I'm looking after Titine
Titine, Oh my Titine
I'm looking after Titine
But I found Titine
Titine, Oh my Titine
I found Titine
That I couldn't find
I had looked for it (c)E everywhere
In Gabon, in Tonkin
I had searched for it (c)e in vain
In Chile, in PÃ (C) rou
And I told him, Titine
Titine, Oh my Titine
And I told him, Titine
I beg you, come back.
You've changed, I know.
You're a little less tempting
Then you walk like Chaplin
Then you became a talker
But finally, it's better than nothing
When we've lived for thirty years
All alone with a dog
And with twelve children
Who are looking for Titine
Titine, Oh my Titine
Who are looking for Titine
But I found Titine
Titine Oh my Titine
I found Titine
That I couldn't find
I'd like you to see her.
Titine, she is in gold much more than Valentine
More than just Elà (c)onore
But yesterday, when I told him
Titine, Oh, my Titine
When I told him, Titine
Do you still love me?
She's gone, like this
Without a gesture, without a word
See a Charlot movie
At the cinema of Olympia
So here's why
We search everywhere
My Hispano and I
Screaming like crazy
I'm looking after Titine
Titine Oh my Titine
I'm looking after Titine
But I'll find Titine
Titine, Oh, my Titine
I'll find Titine again
And everything will work out
