Mon Ami M'A Quittée

My friend left me
I'm telling you
It had to happen to me too
I saw him dreaming of another girl
for a long time
My friend is elsewhere
I don't know where
Close to another heart
And far from us
Picking other flowers
And other appointments

I look at the waves
That the sea crushes the rocks
And I wish for the calm
To come live in my solitude

He left me
I'm telling you
Yes, it happened to me too
By dreaming of another girl
for a long time
My friend left me
It's too easy
It's the end of summer
Fragile sun
The boats are put away
For a better April

So I look at the waves
In my heart something has moved
He was tender and wild
And here he is telling his story
He left me
At the end of summer
He left me

My friend left me
I'm telling you
Yes, it happened to me too
I'm done dreaming, at least for today
