Lyrics

Mieux vaut ne penser rien que de pas penser dutout,
Rien c’est d (c)ja, rien c’est d (c)ja beaucoup,
On se souvient de rien et puisqu’on oublie tout,
Rien c’est bien mieux que tout.
Mieux vaut ne penser rien que de pas penser vous,
Ca ne me vaut rien, ca ne me vaut rien dutout
Mais comme si de rien (c)tait je pense tout,
Ces petits riens qui me venaient de vous,
Si c'(c)tait trois fois rien, trois fois rien entre nous,
Evidemment ca ne fait pas beaucoup,
Ce sont ces petits riens que j’ai mis bout bout,
Ces petits riens qui me venaient de vous.
Mieux vaut pleurer de rien que de rire de tout,
Pleurer pour un rien c’est d (c)ja beaucoup,
Mais vous, vous n’avez rien dans le coeur d (c)ja vous,
Je vous envie, je vous en veux, beaucoup,
Ce sont ces petits riens qui me venaient de vous,
Les voulez vous tenez que voulez vous,
Moi je ne veux pour rien au monde plus rien de vous,
Pour Єtre vous faut Єtre moiti© fou.

Lyrics translation

Better to think nothing than not to think dutout,
Nothing is d (C) ja, nothing is D (C) Ja much,
We remember nothing and since we forget everything,
Nothing is much better than everything.
Better not to think anything than not to think you,
It's not worth anything, it's not worth anything
But as if nothing (C) is silent I think everything,
Those little riens that came to me from you,
If it's three times nothing, three times nothing between us,
Obviously it doesn't do much,
These are the little things I put together.,
Those little laughs that came to me from you.
Better to cry for nothing than to laugh at everything,
Crying for nothing is d (c)Ja a lot,
But you, you have nothing in the heart d (c)ja you,
I envy you, I hate you, a lot,
It was these little riens that came to me from you,
Want you hold what you want,
I don't want anything in the world anymore nothing from you,
You need to be half crazy.
