Doux réveil
Sweet awakening
Au gout amer
With a bitter taste
Etait-ce un cauchemar?
Was it a nightmare?
Etait-ce un cauchemar?
Was it a nightmare?
Oh non, c'était bien hier
Oh no, it was indeed yesterday
J'ai les yeux si rouges
My eyes are so red
Et bombés par la nuit
And swollen from the night
Ou par les pleurs
Or from the tears
Draps usés, ou mauvais rêve
Worn sheets, or a bad dream
J'aurais bien aimé
I would have loved it
J'aurais bien aimé
I would have loved to
Mais non, c'était hier
But no, that was yesterday
Où es-tu?
Where are you?
Y'a ton odeur comme seule trace de ton corps
There's your scent, the only trace of your body
Où es-tu?
Where are you?
Tes mains me manquent moi j'y crois encore
I miss your hands, I still believe in it
C'est les matins comme ça qui m'font pleurer
It's mornings like this that make me cry
Leur vérité me tue
Their truth kills me
Car la nuit a su me faire oublier
For the night has helped me forget
C'est les matins comme ça qui m'font pleurer
It's mornings like this that make me cry
Dès mon premier regard
From my very first glance
Face à la nuit solitaire que j'ai passée
Facing the lonely night I spent
Un de perdu
One lost
Dix de trouvés
Ten found
Non mais j'y crois pas
No, I can't believe it
Le bon c'était toi
The good one was you
Avant, t'étais à moi
Before, you were mine
Quelques heures
A few hours
Ou quelques verres
Or a few drinks
Et je dormirai
And I'll sleep
Oui je dormirai
Yes, I will sleep
Jusqu'au prochain matin
Until the next morning
Où es-tu?
Where are you?
Y'a ton odeur comme seule trace de ton corps
There's your scent, the only trace of your body
Où es-tu?
Where are you?
Tes mains me manquent moi j'y crois encore
I miss your hands, I still believe in it
C'est les matins comme ça qui m'font pleurer
It's mornings like this that make me cry
Leur vérité me tue
Their truth kills me
Car la nuit a su me faire oublier
For the night has made me forget
C'est les matins comme ça qui m'font pleurer
It's mornings like this that make me cry
Dès mon premier regard
From my very first glance
Face à la nuit solitaire que j'ai passée
Facing the lonely night that I endured
