Lyrics
T’AS JAMAIS DIT : « JAMAIS » YOU NEVER SAID : «  NEVER   » ENGLISH TRANSLATION BELOW J’ai attendu tres tard au bistro J’ai meme rate le dernier metro T’avais jure que tu me reviendrais Tu avais oublie de me dire : « jamais » Une trompette perdue dans la nuit Jouait cet air qui nous avait reunis Mais elle ne pouvait eclipser mon ennui Tout seul dans Paris j’allais sans parapluie En marchant sur les Champs Élysees C’est la seule fois ou j’ fus pas grise Je te voyais partout sur la rue Mais pas une fois tu n’es reparue J’ai attendu tres tard au bistro J’ai meme rate le dernier metro T’avais jure que tu me reviendrais Tu avais oublie de me dire : « jamais » SOLO Je suis reparti dans la vie sans envie Je n’ai pas retrouve ce passe si joli Je n’ai pas su reinventer nos nuits Tu me manquais de minuit a minuit Un matin sans que je t’aie cherchee En souriant tu m’as approche Dans tes yeux j’ai vu que tu disais Que tu n’avais jamais dit : « jamais » Nous sommes repartis comme si c’etait hier J’avais l’impression de flotter en montgolfiere Finis les jours gris re-bonjour la folie D’etre avec toi jusqu’a la fin de la vie Finis les jours gris re-bonjour la folie Avec toi jusqu’a la fin de la vie ENGLISH TRANSLATION I waited very late at the bistro I even missed the last subway You promised that you would come back to me You had forgotten to say “ never “ A trumpet lost in the night Played a melody that reunited us But it couldn’t eclipse my sadness All alone in Paris, without an umbrella As I walked through the “ Champs Élysees “ It was the only time I was sober I would see you everywhere on every street But you never reapeared I waited very late at the bistro I even missed the last subway You promised that you would come back to me You had forgotten to say “ never “ SOLO I left without wanting anything more in life I never again found such a beautiful past I never found a way to re-invent our nights I’ve missed you from midnight to midnight Then one morning , without looking for you You smiled and aproached me In your eyes I saw that you were telling me : That you never said : “ Never “ We picked up from were we left off As if it was yesterday I had the impression that I was floating In a hot air balloon No more dark days, hello happy times Together till the end No more dark days, hello again happy times Together with you till the end of time Jean Custeau – Michel Goudreau - SOCAN
