Simple Comme Bonjour

It's such a banal story
Really so unoriginal
I don't know why, really
I always get asked to repeat it
They were more than a friend
She was almost like a sister to me
But the adventure can be summed up in a few concise words
And we can summarize it like this

The blonde and the brunette
They had always gotten along
Love took one
It's all as easy as pie

Because one day, a guy came
Whose big eyes were full of tenderness
But she was much more beautiful than me
And it was the blonde who was his mistress

It's such a banal story
It is hardly original
Through a veil of tears in the eyes
I saw them both leave

Everyone said she was beautiful
These words, like a refrain
Were dancing in my head
And they have been dancing there ever since
Without warning, days and nights

The blonde and the brunette
Once upon a time, they laughed at love
Love took one
It's all as easy as pie

The guy left, the girl with him
I stayed with only one friend
My heavy sorrow and, every day, boredom
Fills my heart and hovers over my life

My God, how banal the story is
And how unoriginal it is!
If that were the end of it, we wouldn't talk about it anymore
But chance did not want it

Everyone said she was beautiful
Ah, the haunting refrain!
So when I saw her
All alone in the depths of the woods
But all that is just me

The blonde and the brunette
Are separated forever
There is only one left
It's all as easy as pie
