La dernière séance [English translation]

Light already comes back on

And the movie is over

I wake up my neighbor

He’s sleeping like a newborn

I put my seat back up

I feel like yawning

It was the last sequence

It was the last showing

And the curtain fell on the screen

The picture on the end title

May bring either smiles or tears

But I know about the fate

Of a little cinema

It will end up as a garage

Or as a supermarket building

It's got no chance anymore

It was its last showing

And the curtain fell on the screen

Bye bye dear heroes that I loved

The intermission is over

Bye bye, farewell to you

My chocolate ice sticks, ice sticks

I went rue des solitaires

To my neighborhood school

I was out by five o’clock

My father came to get me

Then we watched Gary Cooper

Defending the oppressed

Childhood was so great

But this is the last sequence

And the curtain fell on the screen

Bye bye, girls trembling

For the young talents

Bye bye, farewell to you

My chocolate ice sticks, ice sticks

Light is going out already

The theater is desperately empty

My neighbor stretches his arms

And leaves to get some coffee

An old man weeps in a corner

His cinema is closed

It was the last sequence

It was his last showing

And the curtain fell on the screen
