Ta muse t'a fait pleurer
Your muse made you cry
Ta muse t'a soulevé le cœur
Your muse lifted your heart
Tu te disais, ouais, c'est l'été
You were saying, yeah, it’s summer
Mais sais-tu que l'été se meurt?
But do you know that summer is dying?
Veux-tu bien te rhabiller
Will you please get dressed again
Et mettre une veste sur ton cœur?
And put a jacket on your heart?
Tu n'as qu'à ramasser
All you have to do is pick up
Celle qu'elle t'a jeté tout à l'heure
That which she threw at you a moment ago
It's the end of the summer
L'été se meurt
Summer is dying
This is the end of the summer
L'été se meurt
The summer is dying
Oh ça se vide à toute blinde
Oh it’s emptying out at full speed
Ça sent le casino fermé
It smells like a closed casino
Même les plages ont l'air fauché
Even the beaches look broke
Le soleil a l'air de s'éteindre
The sun seems to be fading away
L'amour n'est jamais qu'un décor
Love is just a backdrop
Un iceberg en Amazonie
An iceberg in the Amazon
Une chambre avec vue sur le port
A room with a view of the port
Où tu vas chialer toute la nuit
Where you'll cry all night long
It's the end of the summer
L'été se meurt
The summer is dying
This is the end of the summer
L'été se meurt
The summer is dying
Ton amour, c'était pas le bon
Your love, it wasn't the right one
Tu voulais trop te réchauffer
You wanted to warm up too much
Tu as juste choisi la saison
You just chose the season
Où il fait déjà 40 degrés
Where it's already 40 degrees
Prochaine fois, t'essaieras l'hiver
Next time, you'll try winter
Quand tu auras le cœur bien froid
When your heart is nice and cold
Tu lui achèteras une polaire
You'll buy her a fleece
Si t'as toujours rien dans les bras
If you still have nothing in your arms
It's the end of the summer
L'été se meurt
The summer is dying
This is the end of the summer
L'été se meurt
The summer is dying
T'as arraché tes cotés
You've torn away your sides
T'as ravalé ton haut bleu coeur
You've swallowed your blue-hearted top
Tu te disais, ouais, c'est l'été
You were telling yourself, yeah, it's summer
Mais sais-tu que l'été se meurt?
But do you know that the summer is dying?
It's the end of the summer
L'été se meurt
The summer is dying
This is the end of the summer
L'été se meurt
The summer is dying
It's the end of the summer
L'été se meurt
The summer is dying
This is the end of the summer
L'été se meurt
The summer is dying
