Puisque Vous Partez En Voyage
Françoise Hardy
Since you are going on a trip
SPEAK:
HE: He thanks her for accompanying him to the station...
HER: Are you... talking seriously or are you making fun of me?
HE: But no... he's not making fun of her, but look: these newspapers, these cigars, all that...
HER: ah I lack originality, it's true... Do you know that we are separating for the very first time?
HE: Yes, but it’s not very long... and then he only leaves for 15 days
HER: Wait a little bit: am I to understand that you are going to spend these 15 horrible days without counting the hours?
HER: Since you are going on a trip
HIM: Since we are leaving each other this evening
My heart is learning
HER: I want to smile with courage...
You have put down your luggage
Forward step, side of the corridor
HIM: And for the major usage signals
I prepared my big handkerchief...
In a moment the train will start
HER: I will stay alone on the platform
And you will see me in the station
HIM: Say goodbye there with your bouquet...
HER: Promise me to be good
To think of me every day
HIM: And return to our cage
To better wait for my return...
SPEAK:
HER: Well there you have it, you have a completely quiet place with no neighbors, no one overlooking... no one to disturb you...
HE: He hopes it's non-smoking at least...
HER: You are definitely incorrigible! And I thought that a little isolation would help you relax...
HE: And then what else? Oh dear...
HER: Since you are going on a trip
HIM: You promised me my darling
ELLE: To write you fourteen pages
HIM: Every morning or more...
So that I see your face
HER: Please roll down the window
HE: It’s awful! I lose all courage
ELLE: And I hate Paris...
HIM: The controller shouts “in car”
The bastard, he knows well
HER: That I have to stay, but I swear
That if he shouts it again, I'll come
HER AND HIM: My only baggage is my love
And we don't care about everything else
HER: Since you are going on a trip
HER AND HIM: My darling... I'm going with you
