On s'est connus un matin station Quatre-Septembre
We met one morning at the Four-Septembre station
Reconnus dès le lendemain pour aller boire un café ensemble
Recognized the next day to go have coffee together
On en a fait du chemin du moins il me semble
We've come a long way, at least it seems to me
Depuis le premier verre de vin au dernier baiser sans la langue
Since that first glass of wine to the last kiss without the tongue
On a connu les arrières-cours les frimas de décembre
We've known the backyards and the chill of December
Les ingénues qui portent court qui font du pied aux pieds tendres
The innocent ones in their short skirts flirting with tender feet
Les nuits moites allongés sur le coco et la cendre
The humid nights lying on the coconut and the ash
Le vin chenu la misère nue mais quel bonheur ensemble
The aged wine, the naked misery, but what joy together
Même au siècle prochain j'en parlerai encore
Even in the next century, I'll still talk about it
Même au siècle prochain j'en parlerai encore
Even in the next century, I'll still talk about it
Même au siècle prochain j'en pleurerai encore
Even in the next century, I will still cry over it.
Même au siècle prochain j'en pleurerai encore
Even in the next century, I will still cry over it.
On s'est perdus un matin station Quatre-Septembre
We got lost one morning at Station Quatre-Septembre.
Éperdus ivres de ce vin qui vous fait les yeux en amande
Dazed, drunken on that wine that gives you almond eyes.
On a rasé quelques murs toi levé quelques jambes
We tore down a few walls, you lifted a few legs.
Eu des pensées bien saugrenues dire adieu à ces grands ensembles
Had some quite crazy thoughts, saying goodbye to those high-rises.
Adieu nuits tendres adieu caresses adieu lait à l'amande
Goodbye tender nights, goodbye caresses, goodbye almond milk.
Adieu relative allégresse de prendre un café ensemble
Goodbye relative joy of sharing a coffee together.
Même au siècle prochain j'en parlerai encore
Even in the next century, I will still talk about it.
Même au siècle prochain j'en parlerai encore
Even in the next century, I will still talk about it.
Même au siècle prochain j'en pleurerai encore
Even in the next century, I will still weep for it
Même au siècle prochain j'en pleurerai encore
Even in the next century, I will still weep for it
Même au siècle prochain j'en pleurerai encore
Even in the next century, I will still weep for it
