Текст и перевод песни Il Etait Une Fois - Je n'ose pas lui dire bonjour

Je n'ose pas lui dire bonjour

Seul au fond d′un verre qui n'a plus que l′odeur du scotch
En costume de scène avec toujours rien dans les poches
Le type voudrait bien avoir l'air de ce qu'il était
Je n′ose pas le reconnaître
C′est un peu bête
C'est pourtant bien grâce à lui, si je chante aujourd′hui
Je collectionnais ses photos quand j'étais petit
J′avais tout ses disques, je l'imitais devant ma glace
Et si c′est vraiment lui c'est dégueulasse
Je n'ose pas lui dire bonjour
Parler d′hier, payer son verre
Lui mentir qu′on oublie pas vraiment les gens
Qui ont su si bien nous chanter l'amour
Je n′ose pas lui dire bonjour
Mais ne rien dire serait encore pire
Et si j'ai peur c′est de trop lui ressembler
Et de me retrouver demain
Comme lui, comme lui, comme lui
Les autres ont depuis découverts de nouvelles musiques
De jolies chanteuses et des idoles plus sympathiques
Il a pas su s'adapter aux guitares électriques
Et il n′a jamais compris que c'était fini
Y a quelques histoires sur lui qui font rire le métier
Mais y a pas un seul "coco" pour vouloir l'engager
On lui dit bonjour de loin, faut pas trop se mouiller
Des fois qu′un jour ou l′autre, on ne sait jamais
Je n'ose pas lui dire bonjour
Parler d′hier, payer son verre
Lui mentir qu'on oublie pas vraiment les gens
Qui ont su si bien nous chanter l′amour
Je n'ose pas lui dire bonjour
Mais ne rien dire serait encore pire
Et si j′ai peur c'est de trop lui ressembler
Et de me retrouver demain
Comme lui, comme lui, comme lui

I Don't Dare to Say Hello

Alone at the bottom of a glass that only smells of scotch
In a costume of stage with still nothing in the pockets
The guy would like to look like what he used to be
I don't dare to recognize him
It's a little silly
It's yet thanks to him if I sing today
I collected his pictures when I was a child
I had all his records, I imitated in front of my mirror
And if it's really him, it's disgusting
I don't dare to say hello
Talk about yesterday, pay for his drink
Lie to him that we can't really forget the people
Who have been able to sing us love so well
I don't dare to say hello
But saying nothing would be even worse
And if I'm afraid, it's to look too much like him
And to find myself tomorrow
Like him, like him, like him
Others have since discovered new music
Pretty singers and more sympathetic idols
He didn't know how to adapt to electric guitars
And he never understood that it was over
There are some stories about him that make the profession laugh
But there is not a single "coco" to want to hire him
We say hello to him from a distance, we must not get too wet
In case one day or another, you never know
I don't dare to say hello
Talk about yesterday, pay for his drink
Lie to him that we can't really forget the people
Who have been able to sing us love so well
I don't dare to say hello
But saying nothing would be even worse
And if I'm afraid, it's to look too much like him
And to find myself tomorrow
Like him, like him, like him
