| Tous les matins il achetait
Son petit pain au chocolat. La boulangère lui souriait, Il ne la regardait pas. Et pourtant, elle était belle. Les clients ne voyaient qu’elle. Il faut dire qu’elle était vraiment très croustillante. Autant que ses croissants. Et elle rêvait mélancolique Le soir dans sa boutique A ce jeune homme distant Il était myope voilà tout, Mais elle ne le savait pas Il vivait dans un monde flou Où les nuages volaient bas. Ne savait pas qu’elle était celle Que le destin lui envoyait à l’aveuglette Pour faire son bonheur Et la fille qui n’était pas bête Acheta des lunettes A l’élu de son coeur. Dans l’odeur chaude des galettes, Des baguettes et des babas, Dans la boulangerie en fête Un soir on les maria. Tout en blanc, qu’elle était belle! Les clients ne voyaient qu’elle. Et de leur union sont nés des tas de petits gosses, Myopes comme papa, Gambadant parmi les brioches, Se remplissant les poches De petits pains au chocolat. Et pourtant elle était belle Les clients ne voyaient qu’elle Et quand on y pense, La vie est très bien faite, Il suffit de si peu. D’une simple paire de lunettes Pour rapprocher deux êtres Et pour qu’ils soient heureux |
Every morning, he used to buy
his little chocolate roll. The woman at the bakery smiled at him. He didn’t look at her. Nonetheless she was beautiful The other customers only saw her You’ve gotta say she was Really every bit as tasty As her croissants. And she dreamed sadly In the evenings in her shop Of the distant young man. He was short-sighted But she didn’t know He lived in a blurred world Where the clouds flew low He didn’t know that she was after him that destiny was sending him the blindness to make her happy. And the girl, who wasn’t stupid Bought glasses For the one of her heart In the hot fragrance of the cakes And the breads and the tarts In the bakery in one party One night, they got married. All in white she was so beautiful The customers only saw her And from their union were born Heaps of little children Short-sighted like their father Gambolling among the cakes Filling up their pockets with little chocolate rolls And yet she was beautiful The customers only saw her And when you think about it Life is very well made It takes as little as A simple pair of glasses To bring two people together And to make them happy |
