Eh ben
Eh well
Toi qui te croyais si forte
You who thought you were so strong
Toi qui semblais si sûr de toi
You who seemed so sure of yourself
Qu'est-ce qu'il t'arrive là?
What’s happening to you now?
Eh ben
Eh well
Voilà qu'soudain, tu t'emportes
Suddenly, you’re getting all worked up
Et tu te vois déjà dans ses bras
And you already see yourself in his arms
Lui qui n'a pas un regard pour toi
Him who doesn't spare a glance for you
Allons, oublie-le
Come on, forget him
Lui et son rire dans les yeux
Him and his laughter in his eyes
Lui qui s'amuse avec ton cœur
He who plays with your heart
Lui et ses airs vainqueurs
He and his winning ways
Tu n'y vois donc plus clair
You can no longer see clearly
Tu n'es donc plus sur terre
You are no longer on this earth
Je voudrais que tu te réveilles
I wish you would wake up
Mais je vois bien que mes conseils
But I can see that my advice
Dès qu'ils entrent par une oreille
As soon as it enters one ear
S'en vont par l'autre
Goes out the other
Tu n'y vois donc plus clair
You can no longer see clearly
Tu n'es donc plus sur terre
You are no longer on this earth
Je voudrais que tu te réveilles
I wish you would wake up
Mais je vois bien que mes conseils
But I can see that my advice
Dès qu'ils entrent par une oreille
As soon as it enters one ear
S'en vont par l'autre
Goes out the other
