Alouette [English translation]

Is it you that rests on the wall, day and night, at the station

beneath the neon Sony sign

Alouette? ["Lark" in French]

Is it you on Champs-Elysées

lonely and strange

a little too different, my Alouette?

Je ne sais pas alouette ["I don't know Alouette" in French]

I turn to you and touch you

but you've already gone

you may not even have noticed me

and didn't feel* me again

Alouette

It it you that sits quietly at the coffee shop in the afternoon

in the company of laughter

Alouette?

Is it you that fears the night

walks the streets until the morning

and carefully glances, my Alouette?

Je ne sais pas Alouette

I turn to you and touch you

but you've already gone

you may not even have noticed me

and didn't feel* me again

Alouette
