  1. J'étais amoureux fou d'une demoiselle, Loulou

    I was madly in love with a young lady, Loulou

  2. C'était une obsession, j'en perdais la raison

    It was an obsession, I was losing my mind

  3. Je n'avais plus d'appétit, je ne dormais plus la nuit

    I had no appetite anymore, I couldn't sleep at night

  4. Et tous mes amis me disaient ceci

    And all my friends would say this to me

  5. Oublie, oublie Loulou

    Forget, forget Loulou

  6. Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou

    But forget, but forget Loulou

  7. Oublie-la donc

    So forget her

  8. Oublie, oublie Loulou

    Forget, forget Loulou

  9. Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou

    But forget, but forget Loulou

  10. Oublie la-donc

    Just forget her

  11. Si tu ne le veux pas, tu ne le peux pas, tu ne le pourras pas

    If you don't want it, you can't, you won't be able to

  12. Si tu le veux tu le peux, c'est un jeux et voilà ah

    If you want it, you can, it's just a game, there you go ah

  13. Oublie, oublie Loulou

    Forget, forget Loulou

  14. Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou

    But forget, but forget Loulou

  15. Oublie-la donc

    So forget her

  16. Oublie, oublie Loulou

    Forget, forget Loulou

  17. Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou

    But forget, but forget Loulou

  18. Oublie la-donc

    So forget her then

  19. À quoi bon t'en faire de la bile

    What's the point of stressing yourself out

  20. Ne fais donc pas l'imbécile

    So don't be foolish

  21. Mon ami, je te dis, c'est la vie

    My friend, I'm telling you, that's life

  22. Mais oublie, mais oublie-la

    But forget it, but forget it

  23. Je vivais un cauchemar, j'en avais le cafard

    I was living a nightmare, I was feeling so down

  24. Effroyables moments je claquais des dents

    Terrible moments when I chattered my teeth

  25. Et tout autour de moi je croyais entendre des voix

    And all around me I thought I heard voices

  26. Ces voix jour et nuit me disaient ceci

    Those voices day and night kept saying this

  27. Oublie, oublie Loulou

    Forget, forget Loulou

  28. Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou

    But forget it, but forget it Loulou

  29. Oublie-la donc

    So forget her

  30. Oublie, oublie Loulou

    Forget, forget Loulou

  31. Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou

    But forget, but forget Loulou

  32. Oublie la-donc

    Just forget it then

  33. Si tu ne le veux pas, tu ne le peux pas, tu ne le pourras pas

    If you don’t want it, you can't have it, you won’t be able to

  34. Si tu le veux tu le peux, c'est un jeux et voilà ah

    If you want it, you can have it, it's a game and there it is, ah

  35. Oublie, oublie Loulou

    Forget, forget Loulou

  36. Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou

    But forget, but forget Loulou

  37. Oublie-la donc

    Forget her then

  38. Oublie, oublie Loulou

    Forget, forget Loulou

  39. Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou

    But forget, but forget Loulou

  40. Oublie la-donc

    Just forget it then

  41. Et en parcourant la ville

    And as I wandered through the city

  42. J'ai trouvé une autre idylle

    I found another romance

  43. Qui m'a dit "mon ami, c'est la vie"

    That said to me, 'my friend, that's life'

  44. Mais oublie, mais oublie-la

    But forget, but forget her

  45. Oublie, oublie Loulou
