Paroles et traduction Edith Piaf - Les Gens

Les Gens

Comme ils nous regardaient, les gens.
Nous, on ne voyait pas les gens.
Pour nous, ils? taient transparents.
On ignorait les gens.
On? tait seuls au monde.
Comme ils? taient press? s, les gens,
Mais nous, on fl? nait en r? vant.
Un soleil? clatant
Inondait notre monde...
Comme ils? taient tristes, les gens
Car ils ne savaient pas, les gens,
Que des fleurs couvraient les pav? s,
Que le printemps naissait
En plein c? ur de l'automne.
Comme ils? taient surpris, les gens,
Peut-? tre un peu jaloux, les gens,
Des amants qui disaient "toujours"
Et qui parlaient d'amour
Sans s'occuper des gens.
Comme ils nous regardaient, les gens.
Nous, en ne voyait pas les gens,
On se regardait dans les yeux.
C'? tait vertigineux.
C'? tait le grand naufrage.
Ils? taient fascin? s, les gens.
Ils n'avaient jamais vu, les gens,
Une telle folie, de tels amants,
De tels indiff? rents
Aux gens et? leur? ge.
Comme ils? taient dr? les, les gens.
Comme ils baissaient les yeux, les gens,
Quand, tous deux, on s'est enlac?,
Quand on s'est embrass?
En se disant "Je t'aime".
Comme ils? taient press? s, les gens,
Mais ils se retournaient, les gens,
Pour voir encore ces deux amants
Qui s'aimaient tellement
A faire r? ver les gens.
Comme ils nous regardaient, les gens.
Nous on ne voyait pas les gens.
Comme ils? taient press? s, les gens.
Nous on ne voyait pas les gens.
Comme ils se retournaient, les gens
Nous on ne voyait pas les gens...

The People

Oh, how they looked at us, the people.
But we couldn't see them.
To us, they were transparent.
They were of no consequence.
We were alone in the world.
How hurried they were, the people,
While we drifted in dreams.
A brilliant sun
Flooded our world...
How miserable they were, the people,
For they didn't know, the people,
That flowers covered the cobblestones,
That springtime was born
In the heart of autumn.
How surprised they were, the people,
Perhaps a little jealous, the people,
Of lovers who said "always"
And who spoke of love
Without caring about the people.
How they looked at us, the people.
We, we couldn't see them,
We only had eyes for each other.
It was intoxicating.
It was a glorious shipwreck.
They were captivated, the people.
They had never seen, the people,
Such madness, such lovers,
So indifferent
To them and their age.
How ridiculous they were, the people,
How they avoided our gaze, the people,
When we embraced,
When we kissed,
Saying, "I love you."
How hurried they were, the people,
But also they kept turning,
To watch once more these two lovers
Who loved each other so much
As to make the people dream.
How they looked at us, the people.
We didn't see them.
How hurried they were, the people.
We didn't see them.
How they kept turning, the people,
We didn't see them...
