amoureux solitaires
Clotilde Hesme Lyrics

Eh toi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes
Addressing the listener, asking to be told that they are loved.

Même si c'est un mensonge
Even if it's not true, be told that you're loved.

Et qu'on n'a pas une chance
Acknowledging that there may not be a chance for a real relationship.

La vie est si triste
Life is sad and difficult.

Dis-moi que tu m'aimes
Repeat of the opening line; asking to be told that they are loved.

Tous les jours sont les mêmes
Every day feels the same and unchanging.

J'ai besoin de romance
Searching for romance and excitement.

Un peu de beauté plastique
Desiring physical beauty to cover up imperfections.

Pour effacer nos cernes
To cover up the physical signs of exhaustion.

De plaisir chimique
Seeking artificial pleasure.

Pour nos cerveaux trop ternes
To stimulate our dull minds.

Que nos vies aient l'air
Hoping to make our lives seem like...

D'un film parfait!
...they are part of a perfect movie.

Puisque je sais que tu mens
Since it's known that the listener is lying (about loving them).

Oublions tout nous-mêmes
Let's forget about who we really are (and pretend we're in love).

Ce que nous sommes vraiment
Our true selves or reality should be put aside.

Amoureux solitaires
Lonely lovers.

Dans une ville morte
Living in a dead city or lifeless place.

Amoureux imaginaires
Imaginary or pretend lovers.

Après tout qu'importe!
In the end, what does it matter?

La la la la la
Repeating melody to close the song.
