Salut Les Amoureux

Mornings follow each other and look alike
When love gives way to everyday life
We weren't made to live together
It's not enough to always love each other well

It's funny, yesterday we were bored
And we could barely find
Words to talk about the bad weather
And now that we have to leave
We have a hundred thousand things to say
That are too dear
For so little time

We loved each other as we part
Simply without thinking about tomorrow
About tomorrow that always comes a little too quickly
About goodbyes that sometimes
Go a little too well

We do what's necessary, we play our roles
We look at each other, we laugh, we boast a little
We always forget something
It's not easy to say goodbye

And we know all too well that sooner or later
Tomorrow maybe or even tonight
We'll tell ourselves that all is not lost
From this unfinished novel
We'll make a fairy tale
But we're too old, we wouldn't believe in it anymore

We loved each other as we part
Simply without thinking about tomorrow
About tomorrow that always comes a little too quickly
About goodbyes that sometimes
Go a little too well

Romeo, Juliet and all the others
At the bottom of your books, sleep in peace
A simple story like ours
Is one that will never be written

Come on, darling, we have to leave
Leave our memories here
We'll go down together if you want
And when the café owner sees us pass by
She'll say again: Hello lovers!

We loved each other as we part
Simply without thinking about tomorrow
About tomorrow that always comes a little too quickly
About goodbyes that sometimes
Go a little too well
