Tu ris si mal, tu ris de vivre
You laugh so wrong, you laugh at living
Des tâches de vin sur ta chemise
With wine stains on your shirt
Qui a deux boutons éclatés
That has two buttons burst
Sur ton corps qui me repoussait
On your body that pushed me away
Tu fais l'amour en deux poussées
You make love in two thrusts
L'amour, le manque et la tournée
Love, the absence and the tour
Et pendant que tu t'articules
And while you articulate
Moi je soupire et toi tu me
I sigh and you
Menaces de partir
Threaten to leave
Parce que je hurle quand tu chantes tes souvenirs
Because I scream when you sing your memories
Et bien chéri, prends donc la porte
Well darling, just take the door
Car tu sais que plus rien ne m'importe
For you know that nothing matters to me anymore
Mais dis-moi adieu demain
But tell me goodbye tomorrow
Mais dis-moi adieu en chemin
But tell me goodbye on the way
Vas voir les autres je n'en pense rien
Go see the others, I don’t mind at all
Je t'ai aimé mais je t'assure que c'est la fin
I loved you, but I assure you it's over
Crois-tu pouvoir enfin me dire
Do you think you can finally tell me
Que tu veux bien qu'on reste amis
That you're okay with us being friends
Non c'est gentil ça va comme ça
No, that's sweet, but I'm fine as is
Des amis j'en ai plein déjà
I've got plenty of friends already
Je n'aurais donc plus à t'entendre
I won't have to hear you anymore
Rentrer la nuit quand j'attends l'aube
Come home at night when I'm waiting for dawn
Qui arrive en poussant les heures
That arrives while pushing the hours
Moi je me lève et toi tu me
I get up and you
Menaces de partir
Threaten to leave me
Parce que je hurle quand tu chantes tes souvenirs
Because I scream when you sing your memories
Eh bien chéri, prends donc la porte
Well darling, just take the door
Car tu sais que plus rien ne m'importe
Because you know that nothing matters to me anymore
Mais dis-moi adieu demain
But tell me goodbye tomorrow
Mais dis-moi adieu en chemin
But tell me goodbye on the way
Vas voir les autres je n'en pense rien
Go see the others, I couldn't care less
Je t'ai aimé mais je t'assure que c'est la fin
I loved you, but I assure you it's the end
Mais dis-moi adieu demain
But tell me goodbye tomorrow
Mais dis-moi adieu en chemin
But tell me goodbye on the way
Vas voir les autres je n'en pense rien
Go see the others, I couldn't care less
Je t'ai aimé mais je t'assure que c'est la fin
I loved you, but I assure you it's the end
