Il pleut

It's Raining

Il pleut

It's rainingIl pleut
The sad little seedsLes pépins tristes compagnons
Like huge mushroomsComme d'immenses champignons
Pop out one by one from the housesSortent un par un des maisons
It's rainingIl pleut
And the whole city is soakedEt toute la ville est mouillée
The houses have caught a coldLes maisons se sont enrhumées
The gutters are drippingLes gouttières ont la goutte au nez
It's rainingIl pleut
Like they're called by a signalComme dirigés par un appel
The birds are leaving the skyLes oiseaux désertent le ciel
Clouds and wolvesNuages et loups
The windows, with a tear in their eyeLes fenêtres, une larme à l'oeil
All seem to be in mourningSemblent toutes porter le deuil
For the good daysDes beaux jours
It's rainingIl pleut
And you can hear the splashesEt l'on entend des clapotis
The city has lost its harmonyLa ville n'a plus d'harmonie
Lonely, the streets are boredSolitaires, les rues s'ennuient
It's raining...Il pleut…

I listenJ'écoute
As it dripsQuand s'égoutte
The rain that disgusts meLa pluie qui me dégoûte
On the paths of the roadsSur les chemins des routes
And everywhere aroundEt partout alentour
The dropsLes gouttes
That don't careQui s'en foutent
Probably don't knowNe savent pas sans doute
That my heart is in disarrayQue mon coeur en déroute
Having lost its love...A perdu son amour…

It's rainingIl pleut
The seeds, sad little companionsLes pépins, tristes compagnons
Like huge mushroomsComme d'immenses champignons
Pop out one by one from the housesSortent un par un des maisons
It's rainingIl pleut
And the whole city is soakedEt toute la ville est mouillée
The houses have caught a coldLes maisons se sont enrhumées
The gutters are drippingLes gouttières ont la goutte au nez
It's rainingIl pleut
Nature is burdened with troublesLa nature est chargée d'ennuis
Up above everything is dressed in grayLà-haut tout est vêtu de gris
The sky is sulkingLe ciel est boudeur
Nose pressed against the windowLe nez aplati au carreau
I wait, letting the flow of my tears runJ'attends, laissant couler le flot de mes pleurs
It's rainingIl pleur

In my heart with lost dreamsDans mon coeur aux rêves perdus
On my love like in the streetSur mon amour comme dans la rue
And on my pain with no way outEt sur mes peines sans issue
It's raining...Il pleut…
