Lyrics and translation Lynda Lemay - J'te l'avais dit

J'te l'avais dit

J'te l'avais dit, c'soir-l?
Que le mal? tait fait
Qu'un coeur bris? comme? a
C'? tait bris? correct

Qu'y s'en remettrait pas
M? me s'y finissait presque
Par donner l'impression
D'? tre encore en fonction

J'te l'avais dit, direct
Qu'y? tait d? j? trop tard
Y'a des coeurs qui s'r? parent
Y'en a d'autres qu'on jette

Le mien, tu l'as cass?
Comme une vieille tirelire
Impossible? r'coller
Impossible? remplir

{Refrain:}
Quand quelqu'un m'donne une chance
Moi, pour y croire encore
? A m'prend
Tout' mon p'tit change
Mais mon cochon est mort

? A fait qu'j'y crois pas fort
Quand? a sent la passion
Pis c'est pas ben ben long
Que le vent change de bord

J'te l'avais dit, c'soir-l?
Qu'les histoires? l'eau d'rose
J'pourrais pu croire? a
Qu'j'en avais eu ma dose

Que j'en reviendrais pas
De c'te maudit? chec
Que c'te gros d? g? t-l?
J'allais mourir avec

J'te l'avais dit, c'soir-l?
Est-ce que tu t'en rappelles
Qu'on peut pas subir? a
Sans garder des s? quelles

On passe pas tout c'temps-l?
A gravir une? chelle
Pour s'ramasser en bas
Pis encore croire au ciel

{Au Refrain}

J'te l'avais dit, c'soir-l?
J'te l'avais dit en pleine face
Que j'laisserais pu un chat
Me r'griffer? 'm? me place

J'ai l? ch? toutes mes plaies
Pis j'm'ennuie pas d'tes griffes
Mais la place dont j'parlais
Ben, est encore? vif

J'pas en train d't'accuser
Pis j'te souhaite pas d'malheur
T'es ben juste mal tomb?
En m'tombant en plein coeur

J'aurais pas pu t'aimer
On aurait? t? " quittes "
Pas d'chicane, pas d'bless? s
Pis bonne chance pour la suite

{Au Refrain}

J'te l'avais pas r'proch?
Mais je l'savais pareil
Qu'une lune d? croch? e
C'est ben beau, mais? a s'paye

Un beau jour, quand j's'rai vieille
J'te dirai, sans rancune
"Tu m'as piqu? ma lune
Mais jamais mon soleil!"

I told you so

I told you that evening?
That the damage was done
That a heart broken in two
Was broken for good

That it would never recover
Even if it almost succeeded
In giving the impression
Of still being in working order

I told you, straight away
That it was too late for that
Some hearts can be mended
Others we just throw away

You broke mine
Like an old piggy bank
Impossible to mend
Impossible to fill

{Chorus:}
When someone gives me a chance
To believe in them again
To give them
All my pocket money
But my piggy bank is dead

I hardly believe it anymore
When I feel the passion
And if it doesn't last very long
That the wind changes direction

I told you that evening?
That the rose-tinted stories
I couldn't believe them anymore
That I'd had my fill of them

That I would never recover
From this terrible setback
That I would take this huge loss
To the grave with me

I told you that evening?
Do you remember?
That we couldn't go through this
Without leaving scars

We don't spend all that time
Climbing a ladder
To end up back at the bottom
And still believe in heaven

{Chorus}

I told you that evening?
I told you straight to your face
That I would never let a cat
Scratch me like that again

I've licked my wounds
And I don't miss your claws
But the place I was talking about
Is still sore

I'm not accusing you
And I don't wish you any harm
You just fell in the wrong place
When you fell for me

I couldn't have loved you
We would have been "quitters"
No fights, no injuries
And good luck for the future

{Chorus}

I didn't reproach you,
But I knew all the same
That a new moon
Is beautiful, but it costs

One day, when I'm old
I'll tell you, without any bitterness
"You stole my moon
But you never had my sun!"
