Vous, qui passez sans me voir [English translation]

You who's passing by without looking at me

without even saying a good evening

give me a little bit of hope this evening ...

I've so much pain

You, whose single glance I beseech

for what reason this evening

are you passing by without looking at me?

One word, I'll say it "I love you"

It's ridiculous, it's trampy,

it's juvenile and it's sad too

You who's passing by without looking at me

will you spare me this evening

a little bit of hope?

The memories are here to smother me,

of tears, of flowers, of kisses.

Yes I recall the beautiful April mornings

we lived under the city's highest roofs.

You who's passing by without looking at me

without even saying a good evening

give me a little bit of hope this evening ...

I've so much pain

You, whose single glance I beseech

for what reason this evening

are you passing by without looking at me?

One word, I'll say it "I love you"

It's ridiculous, it's trampy,

it's juvenile and it's sad too

You who's passing by without looking at me

without giving me any hope

good bye... good night...
