Ce Mardi
Kénédy Lyrics

Le jour était fixé,
The day was set,

Et la jolie robe chez le couturier
And the pretty dress was at the tailor's

Traiteur, fleuriste, banquet
Caterer, florist, banquet

Il avait accepté de t'emmener, t'épouser
He had agreed to take you, marry you

(Ce mardi, dans la nuit)
(This Tuesday, in the night)

Un ange du mal l'a arraché à la vie, puis s'est enfuit
An angel of evil took him from life, then fled

(Quelques verres de whisky)
(A few glasses of whisky)

Et le conducteur endormi, rendez-vous au paradis
And the sleepy driver, rendezvous in paradise

Tu en avais rêvé
You had dreamed of it

C'est comme si il t'était prédestiné
It's as if it was predestined for you

Tu venais tout juste de lui confier
You had just told him

Que dans ton ventre tu portes déjà son bébé, votre secret
That you already carry his baby in your belly, your secret

(Ce mardi, dans la nuit)
(This Tuesday, in the night)

Ce chauffard ivre et tout ce sang qui jaillit, tu l'as maudit
You cursed the drunk driver and all the blood that gushed

(Son visage qui pali)
(His pale face)

Et la route mouillée par la pluie, un grand cri, et tes rêves partent en confettis
And the rain-soaked road, a big scream, and your dreams turn to confetti

Mèm si'w vlé pa kè mwen la, mwen ké toujou rété la
Even if you don't want me here, I'll always stay

Paskè ou pé pa rété kon sa
Because you can't stay like this

Mèm si'w vlé pa kè mwen la, mwen ké toujou rété la
Even if you don't want me here, I'll always stay

Paskè mwen pé pa lésé'w kon sa
Because I can't leave you like this

Ce serait mentir que, de te dire que j'ai les mots pour t'apaiser
It would be a lie to say that I have the words to comfort you

Tu voudrais bien fuir mais, tu ne sais pas ou aller
You would like to run away, but you don't know where to go

"S'il faut tant souffrir, mieux vaut mourir", retire ça de tes pensées
"If you have to suffer so much, better to die", remove that from your thoughts

Si je crains le pire c'est que tu es comme ma moitié
If I fear the worst, it's because you are like my other half

Je serai là
I'll be there

Ce serait mentir que, de te dire que j'ai les mots pour t'apaiser
It would be a lie to say that I have the words to comfort you

Tu voudrais bien fuir mais vous êtes deux à respirer
You would like to run away, but you're two breathing

"S'il faut tant souffrir, mieux vaut mourir", retire ça de tes pensées
"If you have to suffer so much, better to die", remove that from your thoughts

Si je crains le pire c'est que tu as son autre moitié
If I fear the worst, it's because you have his other half

Je serai là
I'll be there

Mèm si'w vlé pa kè mwen la, mwen ké toujou rété la
Even if you don't want me here, I'll always stay

Paskè ou pé pa rété kon sa
Because you can't stay like this

Mèm si'w vlé pa kè mwen la, mwen ké toujou rété la
Even if you don't want me here, I'll always stay

Paskè mwen pé pa lésé'w kon sa
Because I can't leave you like this

E mèm, si'w vlé pa, kè mwen la, mwen ké rété la
And even if you don't want me here, I'll still be here

Non mèm, si'w vlé pa, paskè ou pa ni dwa rété kon sa
No, even if you don't want me, because you can't stay like this

E mèm, si'w vlé pa, kè mwen la, mwen ké rété la
And even if you don't want me here, I'll still be here

Non mèm, si'w vlé pa, paskè mwen pé pa lésé vou kon sa
No, even if you don't want me because I can't leave you like this
