Paroles et traduction Edith Piaf - C'Est La Moindre Des Choses

C'Est La Moindre Des Choses

C'était un jour de printemps
On n'avait pas le temps
De penser au travail de la semaine
Pour ne pas être en retard
On a sauté dans l' car
Qui nous a déposés à Suresnes
Ah! Que tout semblait joli
Par ce bel après-midi
Et c'est alors que j'ai rencontré
Le gars dont j'ai toujours rêvé

Il me dit "Je vous aime"
Je lui dis "Moi de même"
C'était la moindre des choses
Il me dit "On s' tutoie?"
Je lui dis "Ça va d' soi"
C'était la moindre des choses

Alors, sans bien comprendre
Moi, je l'ai suivi
Ses yeux étaient si tendres
Que mon cur fondit
Il me dit "Embrasse-moi"
Je lui dis "Tiens, sers-toi"
C'était la moindre des choses

Tous les deux on s' donnait
L'air de crâner
D' pas s'en faire
Mais au fond, on était
Deux timides
Lui vis-à-vis d' ses copains
Il prenait l'air malin
J' l'écoutais, je le trouvais splendide
Tant qu'on était au dancing
Il tenait à son standing
Mais quand on s'est r'trouvés sur le quai C'était plus l' même, sa voix tremblait

Il m'a dit "Viens, p'tite tête"
Je lui dis "Je suis prête"
C'était la moindre des choses
Il m'a dit "Toute la nuit"
Alors, moi, j'ai dit oui
C'était la moindre des choses

On a marché dans l'ombre
Tout le long du chemin
Et comme il faisait sombre
Il tenait ma main
Il me dit "C'est sérieux"
J'ai rien dit, c'était mieux
C'était la moindre des choses

Quand le matin est venu
Il avait l'air ému
De quelque chose qu'il voulait pas dire
Il reprenait l'air faraud
Oui, mais ça sonnait faux
J' voyais qu'il se forçait à sourire
Moi, j'avais le cur bien gros
Oui, bien sûr, c'était trop beau
C'était l' moment de se dire adieu
Et j'avais des larmes dans les yeux

Il me dit "Sois docile
Car vois-tu, notre idylle
C'était la moindre des choses
On se voit, on se quitte
Et puis on oublie vite
C'est bien la moindre des choses"
Mais comme j'ouvrais la porte
Dans le matin bleu
Il m' dit "T'es la plus forte
Reste, si tu veux"
Et depuis ce beau jour
On n' fait qu'un pour toujours
C'était la moindre des choses!

It Was the Least of Things

It was a spring day
We didn't have the time
To think about the week's work
So as not to be late
We jumped into the car
Which dropped us off at Suresnes
Ah! How pretty everything seemed
On this beautiful afternoon
And that's when I met
The guy I'd always dreamed of

He said to me "I love you"
I said to him "Me too"
It was the least of things
He said "Can we use the familiar form?"
I said to him "Of course"
It was the least of things

So, without really understanding
I followed him
His eyes were so tender
That my heart melted
He said to me "Kiss me"
I said to him "Here, help yourself"
It was the least of things

The two of us gave each other
The air of showing off
Of not caring
But deep down, we were
Two shy people
He was acting cool in front of his buddies
He put on a smart-alecky air
I listened to him, I found him splendid
As long as we were at the dance hall
He held on to his social standing
But when we found ourselves on the platform His voice was trembling

He said to me "Come on, little one"
I said to him "I'm ready"
It was the least of things
He said to me "All night long"
So, I said yes
It was the least of things

We walked in the shadows
All along the way
And since it was dark
He held my hand
He said to me "This is serious"
I didn't say anything, it was better that way
It was the least of things

When morning came
He seemed moved
By something he didn't want to say
He was putting on a bold front again
Yes, but it rang false
I could see that he was forcing himself to smile
I was heartbroken
Yes, of course, it was too good to be true
It was time to say goodbye
And I had tears in my eyes

He said to me "Be nice
Because you see, our idyll
It was the least of things
We see each other, we leave each other
And then we quickly forget
That's the least of things"
But as I opened the door
In the blue morning
He said to me "You're the strongest
Stay, if you want"
And since that beautiful day
We've been one forever
It was the least of things!
