Tristan [English translation]

You liked me, I liked you very much

Much less than I liked him, obviously

But at least as much as I like Luc or Louis

And to the extent

That if I had known you first

And if I hadn’t known him

That if I had known you before

I would have wanted you, for sure

I would have liked you, chosen you

Over Luc or Louis

I would have loved you so, my Tristan

Not having won you over before

You liked me less, it’s too bad

Who are you telling, it’s unfortunate

You liked me less than you should have

You wrote me off, Tristan, and lost

Oh Tristan, Oh Tristan,

Oh Tristan, Oh Tristan

I liked you less, enough though

To cheer me up for a few moments

To shelter me when it’s bad, or whatever

Under your roof in sad times

When I’m down, or in rainy weather

It’s in your arms when I can’t be with him

While I waited for my spring to come back

Oh Tristan, Oh Tristan,

Oh Tristan, Oh Tristan

It was tempting, that’s for certain

Sweet enough but surely you see

It was nice, but that’s all

Nothing amazing, nothing crazy

It wasn’t so much

It wasn’t that tempting

Don’t be silly, come one, smile

Let’s be honest, we both know

We knew quite well, it was written

We loved each other as long as you

Were on the way out

That it would be good, but not for long

That if we liked

As tempted as we might have been

That time would be over

As soon as my Tristan returned

Oh Tristan, Oh Tristan,

Oh Tristan, Oh Tristan
