Lyrics

Quand on sortait du cinéma, elle n’avait pas grand chose à dire
Je luis parlais longtemps tout bas, pour avoir un sourire
Et j’arrêtais l’auto pour la regarder rire
Et on parlait anglais, sans avoir besoin de jamais rien se dire
Si vous l’aviez connu quand elle était timide
Si vous l’aviez connu quand elle était timide
Vous l’auriez aimé comme moi
Vous l’auriez aimé autant que moi
Quand elle était timide
On ne devrait pas changer au début du bonheur
Même si l’on a moins peur de la vie, et même si l’on oublie
Elle a perdu le charme de ceux qui craignent tout
Et son regard n’est plus plus, à l’abri, du combat de la vie
Si vous l’aviez connu quand elle était timide
Si vous l’aviez connu quand elle était timide
Vous l’auriez aimé comme moi
Vous l’auriez aimé autant que moi
Quand elle était timide
Si vous l’aviez connu quand elle était timide
Si vous l’aviez connu quand elle était timide
Si vous l’aviez connu quand elle était timide
Si vous l’aviez connu quand elle était timide
Vous auriez eu envie comme moi
De la serez au creux de vos bras
Quand elle était timide

Lyrics translation

When we were leaving the cinema, she didn't have much to say
I used to talk low for a long time, to have a smile
And I stopped the car to watch her laugh
And we spoke English, without ever having to say anything to each other
If you had known her when she was shy
If you had known her when she was shy
You would have loved him like I did
You would have loved him as much as I did
When she was shy
One should not change at the beginning of happiness
Even if we are less afraid of life, and even if we forget
She has lost the charm of those who fear everything
And his gaze is no longer sheltered from the struggle of life
If you had known her when she was shy
If you had known her when she was shy
You would have loved him like I did
You would have loved him as much as I did
When she was shy
If you had known her when she was shy
If you had known her when she was shy
If you had known her when she was shy
If you had known her when she was shy
You would have wanted to like me
From the will to the hollow of your arms
When she was shy
