Simplement [English translation]

Go away if you really want to go

Consider my assent

Yes but just expect it this way, simply

Go away if you really prefer to go

In the winter of discontent

To finish alone and without an escort, on a bench

But go away since you want to

Since we have nothing to be happy about

Like the garden the dead leaves

Simply

But go away since you want to

Spare me the tears in my eyes

Don't slam the door

Simply

Go away if you want to have a good time

Spare me your sales pitch

But you will see that later

Simply

Go away if you prefer to have a good time

Against tides and against winds

But I'm the one who would run away

In the spring

But go away since you want to

Since we have nothing to be happy about

Like the garden the dead leaves

Simply

But go away since you want to

Spare me the tears in my eyes

Don't slam the door

Simply
