La Fanette

We were two friends and Fanette loved me
The beach was deserted, sleeping under July
If they remember, the waves will tell you
How many songs I sang for Fanette

Gotta say
Gotta say she was beautiful
Like a drop of water
Gotta say she was beautiful
And I ain't no looker

Gotta say
Gotta say she was brunette
While the dune was blonde
And holding one and the other
I held the world

Gotta say
Gotta say I was crazy
To believe in all this
I believed in us
I believed she was mine

Gotta say
They don't teach you
To be wary of everything
We were two friends and Fanette loved me
The beach was deserted, lying under July
If they remember, the waves will tell you
How the song stopped for Fanette

Gotta say
Gotta say that coming out
Of a dying wave
I saw them leaving
Like lovers do

Gotta say
Gotta say they laughed
When they saw me cry
Gotta say they sang
When I cursed them

Gotta say
That it was that day
They swam so far
They swam so well
That we never saw them again

Gotta say
They don't teach you
But let's talk about something else
We were two friends and Fanette loved her
The place is deserted and cries under July
And in the evening sometimes
When the waves stop, I hear like a voice
I hear it's Fanette
