L'amour
c'est comme les bateaux Love
is like the ships Les bateaux c'est comme les sirènes The ships they are like sirens Ça ment mais on y croit quand même They lie but you still believe them Et l'amour c'est comme les bateaux And love is like the ships. Et que la mer est toujours d'huile and that the sea is always still Les bateaux c'est comme les sirènes The ships they are like sirens Ça ment mais on y croit quand même They lie but you still believe them Et l'amour c'est comme les bateaux And love is like the ships. Pour quelques larmes, pour quelques lames For a few tears, for a few waves Pour un orage de trop For a storm too many Oui ça chavire et ça rend l'âme Yes it capsizes and it gives up the ghost L'amour comme les bateaux Love like the ships L'amour c'est comme les bateaux Love is like the ships On s'embarque toujours trop tôt one always embarks too soon A peine a-t-on quitté le port No sooner has one left the harbour Que ça va de tri en bâbord that it switches from port to starboard Mêmes les rats quittent le bord Even the rats are leaving the board Ça ne résiste pas longtemps It doesn’t stand long Aux coups de chien au mauvais temps against storm and bad weather L'amour c'est comme les bateaux Love is like the ships Pour quelques larmes, pour quelques lames For a few tears, for a few waves Pour un orage de trop For a storm too many Oui ça chavire et ça rend l'âme Yes it capsizes and it gives up the ghost L'amour comme les bateaux Love like the ships Et que la mer est toujours d'huile and that the sea is always still Les bateaux c'est comme les sirènes The ships they are like sirens Ça ment mais on y croit quand même They lie but you still believe them Et l'amour c'est comme les bateaux And love is like the ships.
