Entre deux taxis [English translation]

They were kissing late at night

In the backseat of a taxi

Outside a street light came on again

They made an eternal vow

On the roof of the car, the neon light

Seemed to shine just for them

Like a little halo in the dark

The taxi was racing to glory

"Oh, how sad is the fate of lovers!"

The old driver said to himself, amused

Because we always start to say goodbye

From our first kiss

Together they got an apartment

Where they lived day by day

A life with rose-colored glasses

Free from gloomy days

But the burden of everyday life, that wicked little devil

Shows up one fine morning

The hearts that were so light yesterday

Fall back to earth

"Oh, how sad is the fate of lovers!"

We say to ourselves a few years later

Because we always start to say goodbye

From our first kiss

The lovers of yesterday became friends

No more warmth in the home

The dreams they once had together

Now fall asleep back to back

Through the window, she watches the one she once loved

Leave her forever

Taking away a whole part of her life

In an anonymous taxi

"Oh, how sad is the fate of lovers!"

We say to ourselves when it's all over

Because we always start to say goodbye

From our first kiss
