Entre deux taxis [English translation]
Entre deux taxis [English translation]
They were kissing late at night
In the backseat of a taxi
Outside a street light came on again
They made an eternal vow
On the roof of the car, the neon light
Seemed to shine just for them
Like a little halo in the dark
The taxi was racing to glory
"Oh, how sad is the fate of lovers!"
The old driver said to himself, amused
Because we always start to say goodbye
From our first kiss
Together they got an apartment
Where they lived day by day
A life with rose-colored glasses
Free from gloomy days
But the burden of everyday life, that wicked little devil
Shows up one fine morning
The hearts that were so light yesterday
Fall back to earth
"Oh, how sad is the fate of lovers!"
We say to ourselves a few years later
Because we always start to say goodbye
From our first kiss
The lovers of yesterday became friends
No more warmth in the home
The dreams they once had together
Now fall asleep back to back
Through the window, she watches the one she once loved
Leave her forever
Taking away a whole part of her life
In an anonymous taxi
"Oh, how sad is the fate of lovers!"
We say to ourselves when it's all over
Because we always start to say goodbye
From our first kiss
