Ma chérie [English translation]

Verse 1:

Hey you, I've been waiting for you

and I've been standing by the blue line waiting for you

this platform has been rebuilt all the walls repainted

but I'm at home in concrete, I've been waiting for you

but there are others sitting here

an old man talking about his first kiss

his first love right by the stairs

who later became his wife and they had two kids

then she passed, and he has come here ever since

and by the benches there's a woman

she never found love so she's sitting

there's my dad, standing there, buying something from the vending machine

regretting working instead of spending time with the kids

why am I on the platform where our train has left?

the people sitting here have all lost something in life

and there you are again, standing in the door

holding the ticket I tore a long time ago

Chorus:

My love my love my love my love

I know nothing except that I want to be yours

my love my love my love my love

I know nothing except that I want to be yours

Verse 2:

My last name says traitor in the passport

I've got a cigarette behind my ear and a bottle in my right hand

but my left hand is free tonight

so I can hold yours when we are together

I've been standing on the platform, asked them to stop the train

the conductor pushed me off when I told them

and all the people who have been standing here till five

I've told them about you and they all wanna meet you

I've moved on several times, been there

but I've always returned

almost forgotten how you look, how you sound, how you move

drowning out the voice on the platform, hoping you´ll hear me

I stayed for you

became friends with the junkies falling around

life on the platform was an adventure

so if I'll never have you, I'll have something else.

Chorus:

My love my love my love my love

I know nothing except that I want to be yours

my love my love my love my love

I know nothing except that I want to be yours

Verse 3:

She said: it's not like we'll ever become parents

but I think we'll be like our own

beautifully connected to a fairytale, we belong to something that has been left behind.

in an old building where everything kan change

maybe we're parallel lines?

meant to follow each other through life

but it'll take forever to collide

it'll only be complicated if I touch you

every stop in my life is far from you

many get on the bus and get off at the next stop

fate says keep running

the heart says turn around

spot you at every grey platform

and you're the red line I've been missing

I've been broken but everything can be fixed I guess

when we grow old I'll find you again

and rot away forever as if nothing has happened

Chorus:

My love my love my love my love

I know nothing except that I want to be yours

my love my love my love my love

I know nothing except that I want to be yours

Bridge:

Hello my friend, tell me where you've been?

it became quiet when you disappeared

I'm still here and everything is the same

no one else took your place

Outtro:

My love my love my love my love

I don't know French but it still sounds pretty

my love my love my love my love

I know nothing except that I want to be yours
