Serge Gainsbourg Ballade de Melody Nelson translation

Ca c'est l'histoire

This it is the story

De Melody Nelson

Of Melody Nelson

Qu'a part moi-meme personne

That apart from me

N'a jamais pris dans ses bras ca vous etonne

Never look in his arms that surprises you

Mais c'est comme ca elle avait de l'amour

But it's like that she had her love

Pauvre Melody Nelson

Poor Melody Nelson

Ouais, elle en avait des tonnes

Yeah, she had their tons

Mais ses jours etaient comptes Quatorze automnes

But her days were counted fourteen autumns

Et quinze Ã©tÃ©s un petit animal

And fifteen summers, a little animal

Que cette Melody Nelson

That this Melody Nelson

Une adorable garconne

An adorable boyish

Et si delicieuse enfant

And if delicious child

Que je n'ai con nue qu'un instant

That I only knew at the moment

Oh, ma melody, ma Melody Nelson

Oh, my Melody, my Melody Nelson

Aimable petite conne tu etais la condition

Lovable little bitch you weren't the condition

Sine qua non de ma raison

Sine qua none of my reason.
