Dis-moi si tu t'souviens encore
Tell me if you still remember
Un peu de ma peau sur ton corps
A bit of my skin on your body
Dis-moi si t'es fâchée d'abord
Tell me if you're mad at me first
Avant qu'on stoppe ou qu'on encore
Before we stop or go on again
Dis-moi si ma voix a changé
Tell me if my voice has changed
Ta nouvelle coupe de cheveux me plaît
I like your new haircut
Ça t'fait des reflets plus foncés
It gives you darker highlights
Je suis à court de mots après
I'm at a loss for words after
Ce n'était qu'un vendredi 12
It was just a Friday the 12th
Et pourtant, tu as filé en douce
And yet, you slipped away quietly
À mille lieux du triangle des Bermudes
A thousand miles from the Bermuda Triangle
Juste quelque part, hémisphère sud
Just somewhere, southern hemisphere
Ce n'était qu'un vendredi 12, ce con
It was just a Friday the 12th, that fool
De voisin tondait sa pelouse à fond
The neighbor was mowing his lawn like crazy
Je n'ai pas croisé de chat noir mais
I didn't cross a black cat but
J'ai bu la tasse dans la mer Noire
I took a dive in the Black Sea
Où étais-tu vendredi soir
Where were you Friday night
Tu sais, pour moi, rien n'est fondamental
You know, for me, nothing is essential
Tout est factice, rien n'est fatal
Everything is fake, nothing is fatal
Et puis je n'veux rien savoir, que dalle
And then I don't want to know anything, nothing at all
Je n'suis pas d'la brigade fluviale, non
I'm not from the river patrol, no
Dis-moi si tu t'souviens encore
Tell me if you still remember
Du petit matin sur le port
The early morning by the port
De cette fille-mère qui parlait fort
About that single mother who spoke loudly
Avant que tu me quittes encore
Before you left me again
Ce n'était qu'un vendredi 12
It was just a Friday the 12th
Et pourtant, tu as filé en douce
And yet, you slipped away quietly
À mille lieux du triangle des Bermudes
A thousand miles from the Bermuda Triangle
Juste quelque part, hémisphère sud
Just somewhere, southern hemisphere
Ce n'était qu'un vendredi 12, ce con
It was just a Friday the 12th, you fool
De voisin tondait sa pelouse à fond
The neighbor was mowing his lawn thoroughly
Je n'ai pas croisé de chat noir, non
I didn't cross paths with a black cat, no
Mais j'ai bu la tasse dans la mer Noire
But I took a dive in the Black Sea
Où étais-tu vendredi soir
Where were you Friday night
J'ai bu la tasse dans la mer Noire
I took a dive in the Black Sea
Où étais-tu vendredi soir
Where were you Friday night
J'ai bu la tasse dans la mer Noire
I took a dive in the Black Sea
Où étais-tu vendredi soir
Where were you Friday night
Vendredi soir
Friday night
Dis-moi si tu t'souviens de tout
Tell me if you remember everything
De mes caresses, de mon parfum
From my caresses, from my scent
J'n'ai rien changé, au cas où
I haven't changed a thing, just in case
Tu reviendrais comme ça, l'air de rien
You would come back like that, as if nothing happened
Tu reviendrais comme ça, l'air de rien
You would come back like that, as if nothing happened
Tu reviendrais comme ça, l'air de rien
You would come back like that, as if nothing happened
Samedi matin
Saturday morning
