Paroles et traduction Hélène Rollès - Copain copain

Copain copain

On a eu dix ans ensemble
Toi en juin, moi en décembre
Tout le monde disait déjà
On les mariera
On a passé notre enfance
Tous les deux comme en vacances
Tu sais parfois encore j'y repense
Copain copain, je me souviens
Copain copain, c'était si bien
On partageait toutes nos joies,
Toutes nos peines.
Copain copain, je te disais,
Main dans la main tous mes secrets,
Copain copain, toi seul me comprenais.
A l'école du village
Nous n'étions pas vraiment sages,
Les profs disaient, ces deux-là
On les mariera.
Tu m'écrivais des poèmes,
Je crois que c'est en troisième,
Que tu les finissais par "Je t'aime."
Copain copain, je me souviens
Copain copain, c'était si bien
On partageait toutes nos joies,
Toutes nos peines.
Copain copain, tu me disais,
Main dans la main tous mes secrets,
Copain copain, toi seul me comprenais.
Et puis un jour tu es parti
Suivre tes études à Paris.
Un beau matin j'ai appris,
Tu t'es marié.
Je t'ai envoyé des fleurs
Et tous mes vœux de bonheur
Et puis j'ai laissé mourir mon cœur.
Copain copain, je me souviens
Copain copain, c'était si bien
On partageait toutes nos joies,
Toutes nos peines.
Copain copain, je te disais,
Main dans la main tous mes secrets,
Copain copain, toi seul me comprenais.
Copain copain, je me souviens
Copain copain, c'était si bien
On partageait toutes nos joies,
Toutes nos peines.
Copain copain, je te disais,
Main dans la main tous mes secrets,
Copain copain, toi seul me comprenais.

Buddy Buddy

We had ten years together
You in June, me in December
Everyone already said,
We will marry them
We spent our childhood
Both as if on vacation
You know sometimes I still think about it
Buddy Buddy, I remember
Buddy Buddy, it was so good
We shared all our joys,
All our sorrows.
Buddy Buddy, I told you,
Hand in hand all my secrets,
Buddy Buddy, you were the only one who understood me.
At the village school
We weren't really good,
The teachers said, those two,
We'll get them married.
You wrote me poems,
I think it was in eighth grade,
That you would end them with "I love you."
Buddy Buddy, I remember
Buddy Buddy, it was so good
We shared all our joys,
All our sorrows.
Buddy Buddy, you told me,
Hand in hand all my secrets,
Buddy Buddy, you were the only one who understood me.
And then one day you left
To follow your studies in Paris.
One fine morning I learned,
You got married.
I sent you flowers
And all my best wishes
And then I let my heart die.
Buddy Buddy, I remember
Buddy Buddy, it was so good
We shared all our joys,
All our sorrows.
Buddy Buddy, I told you,
Hand in hand all my secrets,
Buddy Buddy, you were the only one who understood me.
Buddy Buddy, I remember
Buddy Buddy, it was so good
We shared all our joys,
All our sorrows.
Buddy Buddy, I told you,
Hand in hand all my secrets,
Buddy Buddy, you were the only one who understood me.
