J'étais amoureux fou d'une demoiselle, Loulou
I was madly in love with a young lady, Loulou
C'était une obsession, j'en perdais la raison
It was an obsession, I was losing my mind
Je n'avais plus d'appétit, je ne dormais plus la nuit
I had no appetite anymore, I couldn't sleep at night
Et tous mes amis me disaient ceci
And all my friends would say this to me
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie-la donc
So forget her
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie la-donc
Just forget her
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
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
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie-la donc
So forget her
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie la-donc
So forget her then
À quoi bon t'en faire de la bile
What's the point of stressing yourself out
Ne fais donc pas l'imbécile
So don't be foolish
Mon ami, je te dis, c'est la vie
My friend, I'm telling you, that's life
Mais oublie, mais oublie-la
But forget it, but forget it
Je vivais un cauchemar, j'en avais le cafard
I was living a nightmare, I was feeling so down
Effroyables moments où je claquais des dents
Terrible moments when I chattered my teeth
Et tout autour de moi je croyais entendre des voix
And all around me I thought I heard voices
Ces voix jour et nuit me disaient ceci
Those voices day and night kept saying this
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget it, but forget it Loulou
Oublie-la donc
So forget her
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie la-donc
Just forget it then
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
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
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie-la donc
Forget her then
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie la-donc
Just forget it then
Et en parcourant la ville
And as I wandered through the city
J'ai trouvé une autre idylle
I found another romance
Qui m'a dit "mon ami, c'est la vie"
That said to me, 'my friend, that's life'
Mais oublie, mais oublie-la
But forget, but forget her
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie-la donc
So forget her then
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie la-donc
Forget her then
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
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 you go ah
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie-la donc
So forget her then
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie la-donc
Forget her then
Et en parcourant la ville
And while wandering through the city
J'ai trouvé une autre idylle
I found another romance
Qui m'a dit "mon ami, c'est la vie"
Who told me, 'my friend, that's life'
Mais oublie-la
But forget it
