J'étais amoureux fou
I was crazy in love
D'une demoiselle Loulou
With a lady named Loulou
C'était une obsession
It was an obsession
J'en perdais la raison
I was losing my mind
Je n'avais plus d'appétit
I had no appetite anymore
Je ne dormais plus la nuit
I couldn't sleep at night
Et tous mes amis
And all my friends
Me disaient ceci:
Told me this:
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
If you don't want to
Tu ne le peux pas
You can't do it
Tu ne le pourras pas ah! ah!
You won't be able to ah! ah!
Si tu le veux
If you want it
Tu le peux
You can do it
C'est un jeu
It's a game
Et voilà ah!
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 just forget her.
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie la-donc.
So just forget her.
À quoi bon t'en faire de la bile
What's the point of making yourself bitter?
Ne fait donc pas l'imbécile
So don't act like a fool
Mon ami, je te dis
My friend, I’m telling you
C'est la vie
That's life
Mais oublie mais oublie-la.
But forget, just forget her.
Je vivais un cauchemar
I was living a nightmare
J'en avais le cafard,
I was feeling down,
Effroyables moments
Terrible moments
Où je claquais des dents
When I was chattering my teeth
Et tout autour de moi
And all around me
Je croyais entendre des voix
I thought I could hear voices
Ces voix jour et nuit
Those voices day and night
Me disaient ceci:
Were saying 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.
So forget her.
Si tu ne le veux pas
If you don't want to
Tu ne le peux pas
You can't do it
Tu ne le pourras pas ah! ah!
You won't be able to ah! ah!
Si tu le veux
If you want it
Tu le peux
You can do it
C'est un jeu
It's a game
Et voilà ah!
And there you go, ah!
Oublie oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie-la donc
Just forget her
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget, but forget Loulou
Oublie la-donc
Just forget her then
Et en parcourant la ville
And while wandering the city
J'ai trouvé une autre idylle
I found another romance
Qui m'a dit: Mon ami
Who told me: My friend
C'est la vie
That's life
Mais oublie, mais oublie-la
But forget it, but forget her
Oublie oublie Loulou
Forget forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget it, but forget Loulou
Oublie-la donc.
So forget her.
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Forget, forget Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
But forget it, but forget Loulou
Oublie la-donc.
So forget her.
Si tu ne le veux pas
If you don't want it
Tu ne le peux pas
You can't have it
Tu ne le pourras pas ah! ah!
You won't be able to, ah! ah!
Si tu le veux
If you want it
Tu le peux
You can have it
C'est un jeu
It's a game
Et voilà ah!
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.
Just forget it.
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
Who said to me: My friend
C'est la vie
That's life
Mais oublie, mais oublie-la
But forget, but forget her
