Lui il t'observe
He watches you
Du coin de l'œil
Out of the corner of his eye
Toi tu t'énerves
You get annoyed
Dans ton fauteuil
In your armchair
Lui te caresse
He caresses you
Du fond des yeux
From the depths of his eyes
Toi tu te laisses
You let yourself
Prendre à son jeu
Get caught in his game
Et moi dans mon coin
And me in my corner
Si je ne dis rien
If I say nothing
Je remarque toutes choses
I notice all things
Et moi dans mon coin
And me in my corner
Je ronge mon frein
I gnaw at my brake
En voyant venir la fin
As I see the end approaching
Lui il te couve
He is watching over you
Fiévreusement
Feverishly
Toi tu l'approuves
You approve of him
En souriant
With a smile
Lui il te guette
He is on the lookout for you
Et je le vois
And I see him
Toi tu regrettes
You regret
Que je sois là
That I'm here
Et moi dans mon coin
And me in my corner
Si je ne dis rien
If I say nothing
Je vois bien votre manège
I can see your little game
Et moi dans mon coin
And me in my corner
Je cache avec soin
I carefully hide
Cette angoisse qui m'étreint
This anguish that grips me
Lui te regarde
He glances at you
Furtivement
Stealthily
Toi tu bavardes
You chatter away
Trop librement
Too freely
Lui te courtise
He's courting you
À travers moi
Through me
Toi tu te grises
You get tipsy
Ris aux éclats
Laughing out loud
Et moi dans mon coin
And me over here
Si je ne dis rien
If I say nothing
J'ai le cœur au bord des larmes
My heart is on the brink of tears
Et moi dans mon coin
And me over here
Je bois mon chagrin
I drink my sorrow
Car l'amour change de main
For love changes hands
Oh, non, non
Oh, no, no
Non, non c'est rien
No, no it's nothing
Peut-être un peu de fatigue seulement
Maybe just a little fatigue
Mais pas du tout, mais qu'est-ce que tu vas chercher là
But not at all, what are you looking for there
Au contraire, j'ai passé une excellente soirée
On the contrary, I had a wonderful evening
Oui
Yes
Oui, une excellente soirée
Yes, a wonderful evening
