Il la regardait marcher
He watched her walk
Je le regardais aller
I watched him go
Toujours ses yeux se posaient
His eyes always settled
Vers moi parfois, j’espérais
on me sometimes , I hoped
Je le regardais aller
I watched him go
Il la regardait marcher
He watched her walk
Toujours ses yeux se posaient
His eyes always settled
Vers moi parfois je voulais...
on me, sometimes I wanted...
En moi je désespérais
I lost hope in myself
Et toi tu la cherchais
And you looked for her
Mais c’est quand il te plait qu’il va t’abandonner
But it is when you like him, he will leave you
C’est trop simple
It is too simple
Mais c’est quand tu lui plais tu vas l’abandonner
But it is when he likes you, you will leave him
C’est trop simple, c’est trop simple, bien trop simplet
It's too simple, it's too simple, too simple-minded
Je cherchais à éviter son regard sur moi posé
I tried to avoid his gaze fixed on me
Et déjà plus n'existait ce qui avait commencé
And no longer existed, what started
Et moi je désespérais
And I was desperate
Et toi tu me cherchais
And you, you looked for me
Mais c'est quand il te plait qu’il va t'abandonner
But it is when you like him, he will leave you
C’est trop simple
It is too simple
Mais c'est quand tu lui plais tu vas l’abandonner
But it is when he likes you, you will leave him
C’est trop simple, c’est trop simple, bien trop simplet
It's too simple, it's too simple, too simple-minded
