On s'est connus, un matin
We met one morning
Station Quatre-Septembre
At Station Quatre-Septembre
Reconnu dès le lendemain
Recognized from the very next day
Pour aller boire un café ensemble
To go have coffee together
On en a fait, du chemin
We've come a long way
Du moins il me semble
At least that's how it feels
Depuis le premier verre de vin
Since the first glass of wine
Au dernier baiser sans la langue
To the last kiss without the tongue
On a connu les arrières-cours
We've explored the back alleys
Les frimas de Décembre
The chill of December
Les ingénues qui portent court
The ingenues dressed so short
Qui font du pied aux pieds tendres
Who flirt with tender feet
Les nuits moites allongées sur
The humid nights stretched out on
Le coco et la cendre
The cocoa and the ash
Le vin chenû, la misère nu
The wine so sour, the misery bare
Mais quel bonheur, ensemble
But what joy, together
Même au siècle prochain, j'en parlerais encore
Even in the next century, I would still speak of it
Même au siècle prochain, j'en parlerais encore
Even in the next century, I would still speak of it
Même au siècle prochain, j'en pleurerais encore
Even in the next century, I would still cry over it
Même au siècle prochain, j'en pleurerais encore
Even in the next century, I would still cry over it
On s'est perdus, un matin
We got lost, one morning
Station Quatre-Septembre
Four-September Station
Éperdus, ivre de ce vin
Dazed, drunk on this wine
Qui vous fait les yeux en amandes
That makes your eyes like almonds
On a rasés quelques murs
We knocked down a few walls
Toi levé quelques jambes
You lifted a few legs
Eût des pensées bien saugrenues
Had some rather strange thoughts
Dire adieu à ces grands ensembles
Saying goodbye to those big buildings
Adieu nuits tendres, adieu carresses
Goodbye tender nights, goodbye caresses
Adieu lait à l'amande
Goodbye almond milk
Adieu relative allégresse
Goodbye relative cheer
De prendre un café, ensemble
To have a coffee, together
Même au siècle prochain, j'en parlerais encore
Even in the next century, I'll still speak of it
Même au siècle prochain, j'en parlerais encore
Even in the next century, I'll still speak of it
Même au siècle prochain, j'en pleurerais encore
Even in the next century, I'll still weep for it
Même au siècle prochain, j'en pleurerais encore
Even in the next century, I'll still weep for it
J'en pleurerais, encore
I'll weep for it, still
Même au siècle prochain, j'en parlerais encore
Even in the next century, I'll still speak of it
Même au siècle prochain, j'en parlerais encore
Even in the next century, I'll still speak of it
Même au siècle prochain, j'en pleurerais encore
Even in the next century, I'll still weep for it
Même au siècle prochain, j'en pleurerais encore
Even in the next century, I'll still cry for it
Même au siècle prochain
Even in the next century
Même au siècle prochain
Even in the next century
J'en pleurerais encore
I'll still cry for it
