L'homme Des Bars
Édith Piaf
The Man from the Bars
In a bar
At the counter
You can spot
A guy with eyes like soot
He drinks without stopping
He drinks to forget
A bad hand life dealt him
When I get close to him
He smiles sadly
And softly says to me:
"We loved each other for a year, madly
And then we broke up just like that… stupidly."
The blues,
The fog,
Are also at the counter
To keep him company.
And when morning comes
He takes his sorrow with him,
It's really his only friend in life.
Then when evening returns,
You see him at the counter
Telling his story:
"We loved each other for a year, madly
And then we broke up just like that, stupidly."
At the counter,
One beautiful evening,
We just spotted
A girl with eyes full of life.
She just approached,
She just talked to him,
She has a sweet voice, she's pretty.
And it's another love
That comes back forever,
They leave in the daylight.
They'll love each other for life, madly.
Madly.
