Hélène Rollès Copain copain translation
On a eu dix ans ensemble
We were ten years old together
Toi en juin, moi en décembre
You in June, me in December
Tout le monde disait déjà
Everyone used to say
On les mariera
They will get married
On a passé notre enfance
We spent our childhood
Tous les deux comme en vacances
The two of us as if on holiday
Tu sais parfois encore j'y repense
You know sometimes I think about it again
Copain copain, je me souviens
Friend friend, I remember
Copain copain, c'était si bien
Friend friend, it was so good
On partageait toutes nos joies,
We shared all of our joy
Toutes nos peines.
All of our pains.
Copain copain, je te disais,
Friend friend, I would tell you,
Main dans la main tous mes secrets,
Hand in hand all my secrets
Copain copain, toi seul me comprenais.
Friend friend, only you understood me.
A l'école du village
At the village school
Nous n'étions pas vraiment sages,
We were not really clever,
Les profs disaient, ces deux-là
The teachers would say, those two there
On les mariera.
They will get married
Tu m'écrivais des poèmes,
You would write me poems,
Je crois que c'est en troisième,
I believe that it was in Year 10
Que tu les finissais par "Je t'aime."
That you would finish them with "I love you."
Copain copain, je me souviens
Friend friend, I remember
Copain copain, c'était si bien
Friend friend, it was so good
On partageait toutes nos joies,
We shared all of our joy
Toutes nos peines.
All of our pains.
Copain copain, tu me disais,
Friend friend, you would tell me,
Main dans la main tous mes secrets,
Hand in hand all my secrets
Copain copain, toi seul me comprenais.
Friend friend, only you understood me.
Et puis un jour tu es parti
And then one day you left
Suivre tes études à Paris.
To follow your studies to Paris.
Un beau matin j'ai appris,
A beautiful morning I learned,
Tu t'es marié.
You had married.
Je t'ai envoyé des fleurs
I sent you flowers
Et tous mes vœux de bonheur
And all my early wishes
Et puis j'ai laissé mourir mon cœur.
And then I let my heart die.
Copain copain, je me souviens
Friend friend, I remember
Copain copain, c'était si bien
Friend friend, it was so good
On partageait toutes nos joies,
We shared all of our joy
Toutes nos peines.
All of our pains.
Copain copain, je te disais,
Friend friend, I would tell you,
Main dans la main tous mes secrets,
Hand in hand all my secrets
Copain copain, toi seul me comprenais.
Friend friend, only you understood me.
Copain copain, je me souviens
Friend friend, I remember
Copain copain, c'était si bien
Friend friend, it was so good
On partageait toutes nos joies,
We shared all of our joy
Toutes nos peines.
All of our pains.
Copain copain, je te disais,
Friend friend, I would tell you,
Main dans la main tous mes secrets,
Hand in hand all my secrets
Copain copain, toi seul me comprenais.
Friend friend, only you understood me.
