Lyrics
Et déjà je me retrouvais vaincue devant cet homme là
Devant ses yeux qui me savaient perdue entre ses bras
Moi je nous y voyais déjà et comme j’avais le coeur à l’air
J’aurais voulu pouvoir me taire
Moi je traînais là, il est venu à moi
Il avait l’air pauvre mais je l’aimais déjà
Il était soldat, un peu sans foi ni loi
On aurait dit un fauve tatoué sur les bras
Et déjà je me retrouvais vaincue devant cet homme là
Devant ses yeux qui me savaient perdue entre ses bras
Moi je nous y voyais déjà et comme j’avais le coeur à l’air
J’aurais voulu pouvoir me taire, mais le mot m'échappa
Je lui disais je t’aime
Il ne répondait pas
Il me voulait moi, il était milliataire
Et il passait par là, je me souviens je crois
Le temps d’une nuit, et puis il est parti
Et je suis restée là regardant le convois
Et plus jamais je n’oublierais la venue de cet homme là
Quand dans ses yeux il me savait perdu entre ses bras
Moi je nous y voyais déjà et comme j’avais le coeur à l’air
J’aurais voulu pouvoir me taire, mais quand il m'échappa
Je lui criais je t’aime
Il ne se retourna pas
Lyrics translation
And already I was defeated in front of this man
Before his eyes that knew me lost in his arms
I already saw you there and as I had the heart to look
I wish I could shut up
I was hanging out there, it came to me
He looked poor but I already loved him
He was a soldier, a little without faith or law
It looked like a fawn tattooed on his arms
And already I was defeated in front of this man
Before his eyes that knew me lost in his arms
I already saw you there and as I had the heart to look
I wish I could shut up, but I missed the word
I told her I love you
He wasn't answering.
He wanted me, he was a millionaire.
And he was passing by, I remember I believe
The time of one night, and then he left
And I stood there watching the convoy
And never again will I forget the coming of this man
When in his eyes he knew I was lost in his arms
I already saw you there and as I had the heart to look
I wish I could shut up, but when he got away from me,
I was yelling at her I love you
He did not turn around
