Lyrics and translation David Prince - The One I Loved

The One I Loved

I saw you at a rock show a couple years ago
You were sitting at the merch table and, believe me, you looked fine
My buddies said "Man, go for it!" But you were out of my league, I know
But I knew right then and there that I would have to make you mine

You were new and you were clean
You were the coolest one that I had seen
And I have to say you fit me like a glove
You were soft and you were tan
And you loved my favorite band
For a while there you were the one I loved

I took you home to my place that night
Remembering how we met
I almost took you in the shower
But you′d shrink if you got wet
When I walked into school the next day
I didn't know what to do
All the other kids there had a t-shirt just like you

You were new and you were clean
You were the coolest one that I had seen
And I have to say you fit me like a glove
You were soft and you were tan
And you loved my favorite band
For a while there you were the one I loved

La seule que j'ai aimée

Je t'ai vue à un concert de rock il y a quelques années
Tu étais assise à la table de merchandising et, crois-moi, tu étais magnifique
Mes copains ont dit "Vas-y, mec !" Mais tu étais hors de ma portée, je sais
Mais j'ai su à ce moment précis que je devais te faire mienne

Tu étais nouvelle et propre
Tu étais la plus cool que j'aie jamais vue
Et je dois dire que tu me collaies à la peau
Tu étais douce et bronzée
Et tu aimais mon groupe préféré
Pendant un moment, tu étais la seule que j'aimais

Je t'ai ramenée chez moi ce soir-là
Me rappelant comment nous nous sommes rencontrés
J'ai failli te prendre dans la douche
Mais tu aurais rétréci si tu avais été mouillée
Quand je suis entré au lycée le lendemain
Je ne savais pas quoi faire
Tous les autres gamins portaient un t-shirt comme toi

Tu étais nouvelle et propre
Tu étais la plus cool que j'aie jamais vue
Et je dois dire que tu me collaies à la peau
Tu étais douce et bronzée
Et tu aimais mon groupe préféré
Pendant un moment, tu étais la seule que j'aimais
