chloé,
parle-moi de lui
parle-moi de rhin
les deux étaient les miens
après toutes ces années
où j’avais enfin pu aimer
mais tu les as pris, tous les deux
tout ce qui restait encore de ma vie
et cela, sans même le savoir
dis-moi comment, chloé?
parle-moi de lui
comment il t-aime
comment il t'embrasse
est-ce le même
le même que j’aimais?
est-ce qu'il dort dans tes bras
dans ton kot là-bas?
complimente-t-il aussi tes yeux
tes yeux marron comme les miens?
est-ce que tu marches dans les mêmes rues
là où j'avais cru que quelque chose était a moi?
est-ce que tu bois du vin en petite france
là où j'avais tenu, quelqu’un qui est maintenant le tien?
pendant trois années où j’ai essayé de le garder pour moi
mais moi, qui suis-je à côté de toi?
toi, une vraie fille française
du 19ème de paris
avec tes cheveux en bataille
et tes vêtements de seconde main
toi qui étudies l’art
qui le photographie avec ta caméra
est-ce que tu vois ma silhouette là
là où je vous regarde de si ****
est-ce que tu entends ma voix
quand je lui demande
de ne pas m'oublier
dans mes rêves
chloé.

like the corks from all the wine we've once shared
i have collected our memories in a glass jar
and couldn't even bear to hold it in my hands
in case i drop it by chance and it shatters apart
so instead, i left it to gather dust in the corner of my heart
with our memories that poured into our wine glasses
just like the rain that fell upon us as we kissed each other
under those streetlights where i would run into your arms
as if it were the first time i saw you turning the same corner
ever since you showed up at my door that one night in october
with a bottle in your hands you stole from work for us
later we found ourselves dancing to Strangers in the Night
at two in the morning while looking at each other's eyes
maybe love really was just a warm embracing dance away
yet for three years, you kept spinning me around every day
just like the ferris wheel you once took me by surprise
where we watched the sunset with my head on your shoulder
for a second i wished we could stay in that moment forever
with the red wine we had at Mont des Arts still on your lips
instead of the aftertaste of someone else behind each kiss

you used to come over wearing my favorite scent
that black bottle of jean paul gaultier you had
a quiet gesture, maybe the only hint
that you might have cared
it wrapped around me, got under my skin
soaked into my sheets like you belonged there
even after you left, i could still feel you all day
your scent softly flowing everywhere
i would sleep as if i were holding you
hugging the traces of you left on my blanket
until one night, you lie down beside me again
if i would ever cross your mind by chance
somehow your smell disappeared day by day
replaced by vanilla-scented cigars instead
leaving me nothing to hold on when you are gone
except the ashes of you lying by my bed

rappelle-toi Barbara
ce nom qui résonne comme un chant lointain
un homme français t’a vue sous la pluie battante
et voilà qu’une rencontre fugace devient éternelle
il ne t’a jamais parlé
jamais touché
mais dans ses vers
tu es gravée
une passante
une silhouette éphémère
transformée en immortelle lumière
mais moi, je me demande
en silence et souvent
si mon existence s’efface
ils m'ont parlé
ils m'ont touchée
ils m'ont même embrassée
mais jamais ils ne m'ont écrite
pas un vers
pas une strophe
pas une empreinte dans leurs mots
je me retiens
je me cache
je me replie
rappele-moi Barbara
comment est-ce d'être aimée comme ça?

sous le ciel de paris, un mur disait
"Je t’aime comme un soir d’été"
mais c'était en décembre
et il pleuvait toute la journée
malgré le temps, un feu brûlait
au retour de « la butte aux cailles »
dans mon vieux cœur d'âme
comme celuie de Notre-Dame
sur le chemin du Sacré-Cœur, vers chez lui
mon feu s’est enflammé avec ses lèvres, tout éblouie
pendant que Chet Baker chantait, douce mélodie
j'ai peur, je tombe sûrement amoureuse trop vite
et si demain, tout disparaît?
un souvenir que je ne veux jamais perdre
"Je t’aime comme un soir d’été," disait le mur
mais moi, je t'aimerai comme une soirée d'éternité

next to me you were asleep
with our legs wrapped around each other
your hands in mine holding them tight
as if we were the last two pieces of a puzzle
destined to fit perfectly together
yet one of us had been missing for so long
even though it seemed for a moment
that we had finally found each other
under that blanket we made love all night
soon those blue eyes of yours would meet mine
this time looking at me different in a new light
and whatever we had all along would fade away
like the voice of Sade in the background
eventually the pale belgian sun would rise
and steal you away from my side one more time
leaving me with a fleeting kiss and half-hearted "au revoir"
just like it has always done for the past two years now

of all the cafés and all the places in all the world
i've walked into this one
chet baker was playing on behind
of all the songs and all the melodies in all the world
he was singing this one
you used to sing to me in the past
of all the guys and all the lovers in all the world
only you've crossed my mind
as he sang...

i've called you on those lonely nights when i couldn't sleep
i've called you to fall asleep while you told fairy tales in greek
i've called you every time i got drunk to make you laugh
i've called you every time i felt like i needed someone to cry
i've called you to tell you something happened at school
i've called you to tell you something my mom said about us
i've called you just to show you one more song you'd like
i've called you the next day to hear you singing it on your guitar
i've called you to surprise you by playing "la la land" on my piano
i've called you so we could sing along to the song on the radio
i've called you to talk about my favourite poets and writers for hours
i've called you to listen to you talking about cars and video games nonstop
i've called you to say "i saw you in my dream last night"
i've called you just to hear the way you said my name one more time
i've called you every day, every night and in every chance
i've called you with every name except mine

keep pretending you love her
only i know the way you cried to me
while saying you're only with her
just to imagine as if you were with me

you made it seem like it was so easy to get over someone you love
tell me how you were able to fall in love with the first girl you met right after me
tell me how you were able to look into her eyes without feeling any shame
because the second i look at someone else's, i can do nothing but glance away
tell me how you were able to make her smile without feeling something is missing
because the minute i smile at someone else, i can do nothing but miss our drunken laughs
tell me how you were able to get over me
so effortlessly,
so easily,
so willingly,
as if i almost meant nothing to you
