Dommage [English translation]

Louis takes his bus,

Like every morning

He stumbles upon the same girl, with her sweet fragrance

He hopes everyday she will come to talk to him

What he feels deep inside is what we call love

But Louis, he’s timid and she, she’s stunning

He doesn’t want to go there, he’s deeply stuck in his seat

Once she smiled at him while she was going off the bus

And since that day, he has never seen her again

Oh he should have gone, he should have done it, believe me

We all say “what a pity, what a pity, this could have been the last time”

Yasmine has a beautiful voice, she knows that she is endowed

In her tempestuous life, music is her buoy

Faced with her melodies, the world revolves around her

But her father keeps repeating “you must find an actual job”

Sometimes she imagines herself beneath the spotlights

On stage receiving the compliments and flower jets

But Yasmine is rusty, stuck in her routine

She only manages to sing when she works at the factory

Oh she should have gone, she should have done it, believe me

We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”

Oh she should have gone, she should have done it, believe me

We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”

Diego is sprawled on his couch

He yells at his young brother when he passes in front of the TV

His friends went out, he didn’t follow them

As he is often alone, the Moon will come to be his only company

Diego is sad, he doesn’t want to do anything tonight

He’s dejected for not having found the woman of his dreams

But my poor Diego, you are profoundly wrong,

You would have met her tonight

Oh he should have gone, he should have done it, believe me

We all say “what a pity, what a pity, this could have been the last time”

Pauline is discreet, she forgets that she is beautiful

She has stains of the same colour of the sky all over her body

Her husband will return soon, she doesn’t even want to think about it

When he takes her arms, it’s not to make her dance

Her thoughts go back to the city hall, that decision that she has taken

On this afternoon after having packed her luggage

She had a future, a son to raise

After the last dance, she didn’t get up

Oh she should have gone, she should have done it, believe me

We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”

We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”

We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”

Oh she should have gone, she should have done it, believe me

We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”

Oh she should have gone, she should have done it, believe me

We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”

It is worth more living with remorses than with regrets

It is worth more living with remorses than with regrets

It is worth more living with remorses than with regrets

It is worth more living with remorses than with regrets, that’s the secret
