Simple comme bonjour [English translation]

It is a story so commonplace,

Really so unoriginal

I really don't know why

I am to always repeat it

She was more than a friend

For me she was almost like a sister

But the story takes a few brief words

And can be summarized as follows

The blonde and the brunette

Had always gotten along.

Love took one away.

All of this is as simple as...

For some fine day a guy came

Whose eyes were full of tenderness

But she was more beautiful than me

And it was the blonde one who was his mistress.

It is a story so commonplace

It is hardly original

Throught a veil of tears in the eyes

I saw them leave together.

Everyone said she was beautiful

Those words like a refrain

Danced inside my head

And have danced there,

Without warning, for days and nights on end.

The blonde and the brunette

Formerly ridiculing love.

Love took one away.

All of this is as simple as...

The guy left, with him left the girl

I stayed with with my only friend

My heavy sentence and daily, boredom

Fills my heart and dulls my life.

Oh my God, how trivial is this story

And how unoriginal,

It would have ended there as we often talked about

But the chance didn't want it to be.

Everyone said she was beautiful.

Ah, the haunting refrain!

So when I saw them

All alone in the woods ...

But that is but my concern.

The blonde and the brunette

Have separated forever.

There remains only one.

All of this is as simple as...
