J'avais quelqu'un [English translation]

There's nothing in the news

That papers can reveal

When I wake up - no muse

And boredom's what I feel

When I'm on my own I'd like to say

I had someone

Once upon a time

I had someone

Love will come and go

I had someone

Life has lost its glow

I had someone

I used to sail and float

Then I was not alone

But now I missed my boat

And overboard I'm thrown

When I'm on my own I'd like to say

I had someone

Once upon a time

I had someone

Love will come and go

I had someone

Life has lost its glow

A movie says "The End"

It was a silent one -

La Dolce Vita's bent

And our love is gone

We have to turn the page

In life like in a play

As actors leave the stage

They've nothing more to say

When I'm on my own I'd like to say

I had someone

Once upon a time

I had someone

Love will come and go

I had someone

Life has lost its glow

I had someone
