Lyrics

Il m’a souri tout simplement
Je n’ai pas pu lui résister
Je suis folle de lui et pourtant
Il m’arrive de le détester
Il est près de moi puis soudain
Je sens sa pensée m'échapper
Je plonge mes yeux dans les siens
J' n’y trouve rien pour m’y raccrocher
Il me regarde sans me voir
Et je le hais
Je peux crier ou l’embrasser
Plus rien n’y fait
Quand il a son regard absent
Je voudrais l’abattre, je le sens
J' voudrais qu’il parte et ne plus le revoir jamais
Mais il sourit, alors je l’aime à la folie
J' voudrais rester entre ses bras toute ma vie
Si je pouvais le voir toujours
Avec ses yeux remplis d’amour
Il pourrait faire tout c' qu’il voudrait
Ça me suffit
Quand il sourit, mon cœur et moi
On est à lui
Oui, mais parfois il m’exaspère
J’ai beau m' fâcher, il ne répond pas
Quand c’est comme ça, y a rien à faire
C’est comme si je n’existais pas
Un jour, il m’a regardée drôlement
Il semblait loin, très loin de moi
Il avait son regard absent
Et dans mon cœur j’ai eu très froid
Il me regardait sans me voir et je tremblais
J’ai compris que c'était fini, qu’il s’en allait
Il a pris ses vêtements, sa chemise
Les a jetés dans une valise
Et je sentais en moi des larmes qui montaient
Mais il m’a dit «Qu'est-ce que t’attends pour te changer?
Va, fais-toi belle, prends tout c' qu’il te faut pour voyager»
Moi, j’ai manqué d' mourir de joie
«C'est vrai? Tu m’emmènes avec toi ?»
Il m’a souri
Et vous savez c' que j' vous ai dit
Quand il sourit
Mon cœur et moi, on est à lui

Lyrics translation

He just smiled at me
I couldn't resist him.
I'm crazy about him and yet
I sometimes hate him.
He's near me then suddenly
I feel his thought escape me
I plunge my eyes into his
I can't find anything to hang up on
He looks at me without seeing me
And I hate him
I can scream or kiss her
Nothing else does
When he has his eyes missing
I'd like to take it down, I feel it
I'd like him to leave and never see him again
But he smiles, so I love him to madness
I'd like to stay in her arms all my life
If I could always see it
With her eyes filled with love
He could do anything he wanted
That's enough for me.
When he smiles, my heart and I
We're his.
Yes, but sometimes he infuriates me
I may be angry, he does not answer
When it's like that, there's nothing to do
It's like I don't exist.
One day he looked at me funny
He seemed far, far away from me
He had his eyes missing
And in my heart I was very cold
He looked at me without seeing me and I trembled
I realized it was over, that he was leaving.
He took his clothes, his shirt
Threw them in a suitcase
And I felt tears rising in me
But he said to me, "What are you waiting for to change?
Go Ahead, Make Yourself Beautiful, take whatever you need to travel»
I missed dying with joy
"Is it true? Will you take me with you ?»
He smiled at me
And you know what I told you
When he smiles
My heart and I are his
