I Lost My Baby
Jean Leloup Lyrics

I lost my baby
I lost the person I loved and cared for the most

I lost my darling
The person I fell in love with is no longer here

I lost my friends
The people who were once there for me are gone

I lost my mind
My mental state has been affected by the loss of my relationships

Pour une fille d'Ottawa
About a girl from Ottawa

Grandie à Ste-Foy
Who grew up in Sainte-Foy

D'un père militaire
Whose father was in the military

Et d'une belle fille qui fut sa mère
And whose mother was once a beauty

Qui écoutait du country
Who listened to country music

Entre deux caisses de bière
In between cases of beer

Et partait le samedi
And left on Saturdays

Pour un lac de Hawkesbury
To go to a lake in Hawkesbury

Rejoindre la grand-mère
To visit her grandmother

And all the family
And the rest of the family

Or je ne peux vivre sans toi
But I cannot live without you

Et je ne peux vivre avec toi
But I cannot live with you

Mais tu peux très bien vivre sans moi
But you can live perfectly fine without me

Je suis foutu dans les deux cas
I am screwed either way

Coup de fil de Jami
Phone call from Jami

Qui un jour tomba
Who fell in love one day

Pour une fille d'Ottawa
For a girl from Ottawa

Grandie je ne sais pas
Whose upbringing is unknown

D'un père pilote de l'air
Whose father was an air pilot

Et d'une mère je ne sais quoi
And whose mother is unknown

Tous deux aimaient le cinéma (ah, oups, hahaha)
Both of them loved cinema (oops, haha)

Nous sommes habitants de la Terre
We are inhabitants of Earth

Il y a des milliers de frontières
There are thousands of borders

Quelqu'un existe dans l'univers
Someone exists in the universe

Pour quelqu'un d'autre et c'est la guerre
For someone else, and it is war

Pour une fille d'Ottawa
For a girl from Ottawa

Grandie à Ste-Foy
Who grew up in Sainte-Foy

Et qui un jour tomba
Who fell in love one day

Pour un chanteur populaire
For a famous singer

Grandi en Algérie, assez fucké merci
Who grew up in Algeria, pretty messed up, thank you

Et qui lui dit adieu, je repars faire ma vie
And who said goodbye, I'm leaving to start my life

À Hawkesbury, à Hawkesbury, à Hawkesbury, à Hawkesbury
To Hawkesbury, to Hawkesbury, to Hawkesbury, to Hawkesbury

I lost my baby (I lost my friends)
I lost the person I loved (and the people who were there for me)

I lost my darling (I lost my mind)
The person I fell in love with is gone (and my mental state has been affected)

I lost my friends (I lost my baby)
The people who were once there for me are gone (and I lost the person I loved the most)

(I do, my baby)
(I do, my love)
