En Relisant Ta Lettre
Serge Gainsbourg
Revisiting Your Letter
Revisiting your letter, I realize that spelling and you, don’t mix
It’s you that I love
Just take one M
Above all
Don’t tell me
You’re missing one
Like you don’t care
I’m begging you
Dot the i
Trust me
I’m the slave
Without the accent
Of appearances
It’s ridiculous
C capital
It was so good
All this affects me
That’s correct
To the highest degree
If you give up
Like that’s how it’s pronounced
On listening to me
With life
Like that’s how it’s written
I’ll finish it
To keep myself
Just take one D
So much resentment
You’ve got no heart
There’s no mistake
Here’s one
I’ll die for it
Isn’t French
Don’t you understand?
It’ll be your fault
It’ll be your fault
Here’s none
I’m pointing out
That gardénal
Doesn’t take an E
But just one
At least one pill
Don’t take two
That’ll calm you down
And you’ll see
Everything falls apart
The cockroach, the tears
The heartaches
O E in the O
