You said tomato, I said tomate Not what you call a very good start But soon it was hard to say good-bye You where silent, I was mute Not really noisy but kind of cute We both knew the language of the eyes Then you learned to say my name All of a sudden it wasn't the same Your words sounded funny to my ears
{Refrain:} Un je-ne-sais-quoi has gone away Now I understand all the words you say Is this the end ? Are you just a face or are you still my friend ? Neither friend nor enemy, des faux amis Are we now like strangers, are you sill my friend ? Ni ami ni ennemi
You said "I like you", I said "Je t'aime" Words in my ears where all the same Your eyes I drank, your lips I read You were lonely, I was too Not really tragic and nothing new We soon found the answer was in bed Then you learned the talking game One by one the words all came All your native charm has flown away
{au Refrain}
You said wagon, I said calèche Pour se comprendre, c'était la dèche "Objet trouvé" devenait "lost and found" You said walkie-talkie, I said talkie-walkie Plus de picnic dans les parkings Ni de barbecue dans les sit-in You said "oh, dear !", I said "oh la la !" Et notre amour devint nature morte A still life, but life is too short
{au Refrain}
Et c'est la fin, et c'est la fin This is the end, this is the end
