Michel, bavard et maladroit
Pas si fidèle que ça
Il aime faire la java

Michel, il a de drôles d’envies
Il conduit sans permis
Il aime faire des paris

Michel il ne fait pas semblant
Ses défauts émouvants
Et si Michel me ment

C’est beau
Quand il me dit des choses
Me compare à une rose
J’aime quand Michel il ose

Michel, dans ses yeux l’Italie
Les matinées au lit
Les couleurs de la vie

Michel il ne fait pas semblant
Ses défauts émouvants
Et quand Michel me ment
C’est beau
Quand il me dit des choses
Me compare à une rose
La vie est moins morose

Michel nous deux c’est du sérieux et si
Un jour on est vieux
Michel les couleurs seront là
Mon cœur, mon cœur s’emballera

Comme à chaque fois
Comme à chaque fois


English translation :

MICHEL (ex western)


Michel, talkative and clumsy
Not all that faithful
He likes to party

Michel, he has funny desires
He drives without a license
He likes to make bets

Michel, he doesn’t pretend
His touching faults
And if Michel is lying to me

It's beautiful
When he tells me things
Compares me to a rose
I like it when Michel dares

Michel, Italy in his eyes

Mornings in bed
The colors of life

Michel, he doesn’t pretend
His touching faults
And if Michel is lying to me
It's beautiful
When he tells me things
Compares me to a rose
Life is less morose

Michel, both of us it’s serious stuff and if
One day, we are old
Michel, the colors will be there
My heart, my heart will be full

Like every time
Like every time

I feel the same way day after dayI walk the same ground around and aroundEvery day I try to chart it
The shattered map that was my heartAnd it comes apart and I fall apartYou could say I lost my wayYou could say I love you
I see the same sign time after timeI see the same light night after nightIf I could go back to the source
I’d sell the well and buy a horseAnd give my kingdom back of courseYou could say I’m way off courseYou could say I love you
We are the same stuff enough is enoughWe have the same dream a dream is a dreamNot a moment passes byWhen I don’t believe that you and ICould leave all the others high and dryYou could say I lost my wayYou could say I love you
