Peuplier pomponné, toiletté comme un caniche
collier, bras bracelet de boules de gui, de boules de gui
fait la pom pom girl loin des vergers de notre midi.

Peuplier pomponné,
toiletté comme un caniche
collier bracelet de boules de gui.
Qu’est-ce qu’on aura crié, hurlé dans le virage
on aura même fait peur à l’orage
un short un anorak, mais quel été !
Quelle était, quelle était la saison ?

REFRAIN

C’est encore une année bonne qu’on s’est souhaité
à couler du collyre du colibri
dans l’oeil de la corneille et de sa nichée x2

En bleu sous le ciel orage on a crié dans ce virage
dans le sable ou la neige on a fait les anges on s’est mis en nage
mais quelle était, quelle était la saison ?
tu fais la guerre aux pommes pommes
loin des vergers de notre automne
moi l’hiver écharpe et bonnet, toi l’été caniche et cache-nez.

REFRAIN

YOU, THE SUMMER

Poplar

groomed like a poodle

necklace, arm,
bracelet
of
mistletoe berries, mistletoe berries

Like a
cheerleader far from the orchards of our noon.

bracelet
of
mistletoe berries, mistletoe berries

what will
we have shouted, howled in the bend

we will even have
scared the storm

Shorts,
an anorak, but what a summer!

It's still a good year we wished
for
flowing
colibri eye drops in the eye of the crow and its
nest
x2

In blue,
under the stormy sky we shouted in this bend

In the sand or the snow we made angels we were sweating

but what was the season?

you make
war with the apples,
far from the orchards of our autumn

Me,
winter,
scarf and hat,

You,
summer,
poodle and muffler.

I’ve been down and under
don’t know what’s going onI’ve been down and under
don’t know what I’m doing wrongAin’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
Heard from my baby yesterdayhe said that he’s doing fineheard from my baby yesterdayhe said he’s doing fineso damn hard to hear him smile I nearly lost my mind‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
Been looking for good companyto help me clear my headI’ve been looking for good company
to help me clear my headOne more night by my own side won’t get me out of bed‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
They told me just to wait it outthese blues will come and gotold me just to wait it outthese blues will come and gobut days keep getting colder and the sun don’t seem to show‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
I’ve been down and under
don’t know what’s going onI’ve been down and under
don’t know what I’m doing wrongAin’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

I'll be waiting here when you get home

Days turn in to years when I'm on my own

Not much happens here when you're gone

I thought I'd be fine but I was wrong

Will you stay

Will you stay

Will you stay with me now

What's the weather like where you are now?

How do people talk in your town?

You can call me up if you want to

The sound of your voice breaks the blues

Will you stay
Will you stay

Will you stay with me now
