Elle s'appelle Lili, Lili, Lili
Her name is Lili, Lili, Lili
Dans sa vie, c'est pas la folie, Lili, Lili
In her life, it's not all crazy, Lili, Lili
Elle voudrait rester dans son lit, Lili, Lili
She wishes she could stay in her bed, Lili, Lili
On choisit pas toujours sa vie, eh oui
We don't always choose our lives, oh yes
Y a pas grand-chose qui l'embellit, Lili, Lili
There's not much that makes it shine, Lili, Lili
À part la philatélie, Lili, Lili
Except for philately, Lili, Lili
Elle voulait partir à Bali, Lili, Lili
She wanted to leave for Bali, Lili, Lili
Et puis elle a changé d'avis
And then she changed her mind
Il s'appelle Lolo, Lolo, Lolo
His name is Lolo, Lolo, Lolo
C'est le fils d'un père alcoolo, Lolo, Lolo
He's the son of an alcoholic dad, Lolo, Lolo
Il aime le foot et le vélo, Lolo, Lolo
He loves soccer and cycling, Lolo, Lolo
Il se complait dans ce combo
He revels in this combo
Il écoutait pas en philo, Lolo, Lolo
He wasn't paying attention in philosophy, Lolo, Lolo
Tous ses plans sont tombés à l'eau, Lolo, Lolo
All his plans have fallen through, Lolo, Lolo
Il aime plus vraiment son boulot, Lolo, Lolo
He doesn't really love his job anymore, Lolo, Lolo
On sait pas toujours ce qu'on vaut
We don't always know our worth
C'est quoi cette histoire?
What’s this story about?
C'est quoi cette histoire?
What’s this story about?
Dis-moi qu'il y a un peu d'espoir
Tell me there’s a bit of hope
Un jour, Lili croise Lolo, Lolo, Lolo
One day, Lili crosses paths with Lolo, Lolo, Lolo
Il était tombé à vélo, Lolo, Lolo
He fell off his bike, Lolo, Lolo
Elle elle l'a trouvé rigolo, Lolo, Lolo
She found it funny, Lolo, Lolo
Un jour ou l'autre, on sort du lot
One day or another, we break the mold
Lolo ne vit plus sans Lili, Lili, Lili
Lolo can't live without Lili, Lili, Lili
Il aime sa mélancolie, Lili, Lili
He loves her melancholy, Lili, Lili
À deux, ils iront à Bali, Lili, Lili
As a pair, they'll head to Bali, Lili, Lili
Un jour ou l'autre, on sort du lit
One day or another, we get out of bed
Elle a choisi pile, c'est tombé sur face
She chose heads, it landed on tails
(Il a choisi face, c'est tombé sur pile)
(He chose tails, it landed on heads)
(Elle a choisi pile, pile, c'est tombé sur-)
(She chose heads, heads, it landed on-)
(Il a choisi face, c'est tombé sur-)
(He chose heads, it fell on-)
Lolo et Lili font Lola, Lala, Lala
Lolo and Lili make Lola, Lala, Lala
Par hasard, comme la tombola, Lala, Lala
By chance, like a raffle, Lala, Lala
Un vélo qui tombe et voilà, Lala, Lala
A bike that falls and there you go, Lala, Lala
Tu sais pas quand l'amour est là (est là, est là)
You don't know when love is there (is there, is there)
Lola a l'sourire de Lili, Lili, Lili
Lola has the smile of Lili, Lili, Lili
Et puis le regard de Lolo, Lolo, Lolo
And then Lolo's gaze, Lolo, Lolo
Lolilalo sont confondus
Lolilalo are mixed up
Et dire qu'on n'y croyait plus
And to think we no longer believed it
Dire qu'on n'y croyait plus
To think we no longer believed it
(Vamo, vamo, vamo)
(Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go)
Viva la vida (viva, viva, viva la vida)
Live the life (live, live, live the life)
Viva la vida (ouh-ouh-ouh, viva)
Live the life (oh-oh-oh, live)
Viva la vida (viva, viva, viva)
Live the life (live, live, live)
Viva la vida
Live the life
Viva la vida (ouh)
Live the life (oh)
Viva la vida (Lili, Lolo, Lola)
Live the life (Lili, Lolo, Lola)
Viva la vida
Live the life
Viva la vida
Live the life
Viva la vida
Live the life
Ouh
