Puisque vous partez en voyage [English translation]

[Jacques] Well, he thanks her for coming to the station with him.

[Françoise] Are you talking seriously or are you mocking me ?

[Jacques] No he's not mocking her, look at what she brought me

Newspapers, cigars, all of that

[Françoise] Ah, I lack originality for sure.

Do you know we will be apart for the first time ?

[Jacques] Yes but well it's not so long, and

He only leaves for a fortnight.

[Françoise] Wait a second, am I to understand that

You will spend those dreadful fourteen days without counting every hour...?

Since you are leaving on a trip

[Jacques] Since we are leaving each other tonight

My heart will learn a lesson

[Françoise] I want to smile bravely.

You have set down your luggage forward-facing on the aisle side.

[Jacques] And for the customary gestures

I have prepared my big handkerchief. In one moment, the train will go.

[Françoise] I will stay alone on the platform, and you shall see me in the station

[Jacques] Bid farewell to me, there with your bouquet.

[Françoise] Promise me you will behave

That you will think of me every day

[Jacques] And return to our cage, to better await my return

[Françoise] Well here we are, you have a very quiet seat

Without a neighbor, without facing anyone, nobody to disturb you.

[Jacques] He hopes that at least it is a non-smoking carriage.

[Françoise] Come on, you are incorrigible ! And here I thought

That some isolation might help you relax...

[Jacques] Not a chance ! Ah lala !

[Françoise] Since you are leaving on a trip

[Jacques] You have promised me, my darling

[Françoise] To write you fourteen pages

[Jacques] Every morning, or more. For me to see your face

[Françoise] Lower the window, please !

[Jacques] It's awful, I lose all courage !

[Françoise] And I so hate Paris.

[Jacques] The conductor shouts "All aboard!", the bastard, he knows very well

[Françoise] That I must stay, but I swear

That if he shouts it once more, I'm coming.

[Jacques & Françoise] I have my love as sole luggage

And all the rest ? We don't care.

[Françoise] Since you are leaving on a trip

[Jacques & Françoise] My darling, I'm leaving with you !
