Lyrics
C'était un jour de printemps
On n’avait pas le temps
De penser au travail de la semaine
Pour ne pas être en retard
On a sauté dans l' car
Qui nous a déposés à Suresnes
Ah ! Que tout semblait joli
Par ce bel après-midi
Et c’est alors que j’ai rencontré
Le gars dont j’ai toujours rêvé
Il me dit «Je vous aime»
Je lui dis «Moi de même»
C'était la moindre des choses
Il me dit «On s' tutoie ?»
Je lui dis «Ça va d' soi»
C'était la moindre des choses
Alors, sans bien comprendre
Moi, je l’ai suivi
Ses yeux étaient si tendres
Que mon cœur fondit
Il me dit «Embrasse-moi»
Je lui dis «Tiens, sers-toi»
C'était la moindre des choses
Tous les deux on s' donnait
L’air de crâner
D' pas s’en faire
Mais au fond, on était
Deux timides
Lui vis-à-vis d' ses copains
Il prenait l’air malin
J' l'écoutais, je le trouvais splendide
Tant qu’on était au dancing
Il tenait à son standing
Mais quand on s’est r’trouvés sur le quai
C'était plus l' même, sa voix tremblait
Il m’a dit «Viens, p’tite tête»
Je lui dis «Je suis prête»
C'était la moindre des choses
Il m’a dit «Toute la nuit»
Alors, moi, j’ai dit oui
C'était la moindre des choses
On a marché dans l’ombre
Tout le long du chemin
Et comme il faisait sombre
Il tenait ma main
Il me dit «C'est sérieux»
J’ai rien dit, c'était mieux
C'était la moindre des choses
Quand le matin est venu
Il avait l’air ému
De quelque chose qu’il voulait pas dire
Il reprenait l’air faraud
Oui, mais ça sonnait faux
J' voyais qu’il se forçait à sourire
Moi, j’avais le cœur bien gros
Oui, bien sûr, c'était trop beau
C'était l' moment de se dire adieu
Et j’avais des larmes dans les yeux
Il me dit «Sois docile
Car vois-tu, notre idylle
C'était la moindre des choses
On se voit, on se quitte
Et puis on oublie vite
C’est bien la moindre des choses»
Mais comme j’ouvrais la porte
Dans le matin bleu
Il m' dit «T'es la plus forte
Reste, si tu veux»
Et depuis ce beau jour
On n' fait qu’un pour toujours
C'était la moindre des choses !
Lyrics translation
It was a spring day
We didn't have time
To think about the work of the week
Not to be late
We jumped in the bus.
Who dropped us off in Suresnes
Ah! That everything looked pretty
By this beautiful afternoon
And that's when I met
The guy I've always dreamed of
He says " I love you»
I tell him " Me Too»
It was the least of the things
He says, " are we dating ?»
I tell him, " that's okay.»
It was the least of the things
So, without understanding
I followed him.
Her eyes were so tender
Let my heart melt
He says, " Kiss Me.»
I say, " Here, help yourself.»
It was the least of the things
We both gave each other
The air of skulls
Not to worry
But deep down, we were
Two shy
Him in front of his friends
He looked smart.
I listened to him, I found him splendid
While we were dancing
He cared about his standing
But when we found ourselves on the dock
It was more the same, his voice trembled
He said, " Come on, little head.»
I tell him " I'm ready»
It was the least of the things
He told me " all night»
So I said yes.
It was the least of the things
We walked in the shadows
All along the way
And as it was dark
He was holding my hand
He says, " this is serious.»
I didn't say anything, it was better.
It was the least of the things
When morning came
He looked moved.
Of something he didn't mean
He was taking on the look of the Pharaoh.
Yeah, but it sounded wrong.
I could see he was forcing himself to smile
I had a big heart.
Yes, of course, it was too beautiful
It was time to say goodbye
And I had tears in my eyes
He says " be docile
For you see, our idyll
It was the least of the things
We see each other, we leave each other
And then we forget quickly
That's the least of the things»
But as I opened the door
In the blue morning
He says " you're the strongest
Stay, if you want»
And since that beautiful day
We're only one forever
It was the least of the things !
