Dis-lui oui [English translation]

I know well, Muriel, that it's none of my business

You kicked him out, and I respect your choice

But, he would like to come back... okay, I won't insist

He's my friend too! No, he didn't send me

It hurts me, you two went so well together

6 years living together but I don't want to defend him

After all that you have gone through, I admit it's sad

and I can't tell you how much he is suffering, it would be blackmail

Muriel I beg of you

I am begging you

Tell him yes!

Before you left him, he was living with me

I can;t handle it, Muriel, help me

He always wants us to talk, and to talk of him

The discussions consist of me listening and saying "yes"

The only moment of peace is when he writes to you

But after, he reads me the 5 page poems

He recounts to me your life in the smallest of details

What happened during your engagement

I'm a gentleman, I wont repeat it, it's intimate

Be reassured Muriel... You little minx

He goes and comes at any time

He rummages in my room while I sleep

I almost had a heart attack, I still have pain in my arms

He pretended to sleep so I wouldn't scold him

You know he's a good guy, but I don't want to influence you

He makes a good living, two is better to pay the rent

Let's face it, you're not terrible either

Look at yourself in a mirror, Muriel, you need to be clear

yeah, he has faults, he cheated on you, it's true

with your mother, okay but don't make it all about you

Muriel, my dear, I'm helping you because I love you

but we won't get out of this, unless you do the right thing.
