Autrefois [English translation]

I've written sweet words

To all the girls of France

I hope for them to reply

I vowed that I'll be happy

By the end of the year

I've written sweet words

To all the girls of France

Every day and every night

But at the end of the year I am still

Alone in my bed

Nobody misses me

But that's not so bad

I already had a good time

A good time, once

I think of them with heavy heart*

When the moon is full

What fun, what song and dance

happens without me**

The evening starts like an old song

But I am cannot sing

I forgot the melody

Some time ago

Nobody misses me

But that's not so bad

I already had a good time

A good time, once

I already had a good time

A good time, once
