Comment te dire adieu
Jane Birkin
How to say goodbye to you
Under no pretext
I want
To have a reflex
Unhappy
You need to explain a little better
How to say goodbye to you
My heart of flint
Quickly catches fire
Your heart of pyrex
Resists better
I am very perplexed
I don't want
To resign to goodbyes
I know well that a former
Love has no chance or so little
But for me an ex
planation would be better
You have put on the index
Our sleepless nights, our gray-blue mornings
But for me an ex
planation would be better
Under no pretext
I want
In front of you overex
pose my eyes
Behind a Kleenex
I would know better
How to say goodbye to you.
