L'amour et l'déception

May was a general strike, Paris in a postcard flame
the world was going to change with hippies and graffiti for peace
she was a member of the P.C, and he, with his guitar was going to sing
against De Gaulle in the low-ceilinged café of Monmartre without thinking
that a march to the Sorbonne in Champs Elysess was going to achieve
that she talks to him and he kisses her strongly without hesitating how to act

Like drinking protest songs with a taste of woman
with Lennon and Sartre loose in Paris he left with the promise to see her again
with the sunset...

But the sun set and with it the faith that this world was going to change
he didn't see her again, she ran east without looking back

To lose spring in Prague, to see and understand
that she was only alive there in Paris with him
then she died in Siberia without seeing the sun set with him

And as for him, after a while, he forgot who he used to be
he signed a contract in London and Madrid to be another little star with a Che Guevara t-shirt
love and disappointment of today, of yesterday
French love and disappointment... in French
