Les paroles, and their approximate translation : Pourquoi les gens qui s'aiment Why do people who love each other Sont-ils toujours un peu les mêmes? Always look like slightly the same ? Ils ont quand ils s'en viennent They have, when they come by, Le même regard d'un seul désir pour deux the same look of a single desire for two Ce sont des gens heureux These are happy people. Pourquoi les gens qui s'aiment Why do people who love each other Sont-ils toujours un peu les mêmes? Always look like slightly the same ? Quand ils ont leurs problèmes When they’ve got their problems Ben y a rien à dire beh, there’s nothing to say Y a rien à faire pour eux there’s nothing you can do for them Ce sont des gens qui s'aiment These are people who love each other. Et moi j'te connais à peine And me I hardly know you Mais ce s'rait une veine but this would be a stroke of luck Qu'on s'en aille un peu comme eux that we go away a bit like them On pourrait se faire sans qu'ça gêne We could without causing problem De la place pour deux make room for two Mais si ça n'vaut pas la peine but if it’s not worth the effort Que j'y revienne that i’m trying harder Il faut me l'dire au fond des yeux you must tell me in the eye, Quel que soit le temps que ça prenne However long it will take Quel que soit l'enjeu however high the stakes Je veux être un homme heureux I want to be a happy man Pourquoi les gens qui s'aiment Why do people who love each other Sont-ils toujours un peu rebelles? Are they always a bit rebellious ? Ils ont un monde à eux They’ve got a world for themselves Que rien n'oblige à ressembler à ceux that nothing obliges to look like Qu'on nous donne en modèle those we are given as models. Pourquoi les gens qui s'aiment Why do people who love each other Sont-ils toujours un peu cruels? Are they always a bit cruel ? Quand ils vous parlent d'eux When they talk to you about them Y a quelque chose qui vous éloigne un peu there’s something that creates a distance Ce sont des choses humaines These are human things. Et moi j'te connais à peine And me I hardly know you Mais ce s'rait une veine but this would be a stroke of luck Qu'on s'en aille un peu comme eux that we go away a bit like them On pourrait se faire sans qu'ça gêne We could without causing problem De la place pour deux make room for two Mais si ça n'vaut pas la peine but if it’s not worth the effort Que j'y revienne that i’m trying harder Il faut me l'dire au fond des yeux you must tell me in the eye Quel que soit le temps que ça prenne However long it will take Quel que soit l'enjeu however high the stakes Je veux être un homme heureux I want to be a happy man Je veux être un homme heureux I want to be a happy man Je veux être un homme heureux I want to be a happy man
