C'est la moindre des choses [English translation]

It was a day in springtime

We did not have the time

To think of work for the week

To not be late

We had jumped into the car

Which had dropped us at Suresnes [1]

Ah! How everything seemed beautiful

On that beautiful afternoon

And it was then that I met

The guy that I've always dreamed off

He told me "I love you" [formally] [2]

I told him "I feel the same way"

It's the least I could do [3]

He told me, "Can we speak casually (to each other)?"[2]

I told him, "It's alright (between us)"

It's the least I could do

And then, without really understanding (why)

I followed him

His eyes were so gentle

That my heart melted

He told me "Kiss me"

I told him "Here, help yourself"

It's the least I could do

The two of us

Pretended to boast

To not seem worried

But in the end, we were

Two shy people

With his friends

He was a know-it-all

I listened to him, I found him splendid

While we were dancing

He standing mattered

But when we met each other by the harbour

He wasn't the same anymore, his voice trembled

He told me "Come, little lady"

I told him "I'm ready"

It was the smallest of things

He told me "All night long"

Then I said yes

It's the least I could do

We had walked in the shadow

All along the road

And as it turned dark

He held my hand

He told me "I'm serious"

I said nothing, it was better (that way)

It's the least I could do

When morning came

He seemed upset

About something he didn't want to say

He turned pretentious once more

Yes, but it sounded fake

I saw that he forced himself to smile

I had a heavy heart

Yes, of course, it was too beautiful (to be true)

It was the time the say farewell (to each other) [4]

And I had tears in my eyes

He told me "Be good

Because you see, our brief romance

It's the least I could do

We meet, we part

And then we quickly forget

It's really the least I could do"

But when I opened the door

In the blue morning (light)

He told me "You're the greatest (love of mine) [5]

Stay, if you like"

And since that fateful day

We are one forever

It's the least we could do!
