Le carnet à spirale [English translation]

Yet again I have lost your love, you know

I cannot remember what I did with it

And yet I had stored it as it should have been

It's unbelievable how everything disappears

But I had found in my spiral notebook

All my happiness in capital letters

Blue ink for likable virtues

Under collages of gum arabic

I had searched all our secrets one by one

I had found nothing in what little remained

Under some uninteresting quarrels

The balls of gum and the unfresh mornings

But I had guarded in my spiral notebook

All my happiness in capital letters

Blue ink for likable virtues

Under collages of gum arabic

Yet again I have lost your love, it is true

But after all no one is perfect

But if you never have another one, it's is only fair

Too bad for me, I was a little distracted

I will keep in my spiral notebook

All my happiness in capital letters

Blue ink for likable virtues

Under collages of gum arabic
