When I am sad
I do anything
I am an act-sad
Sometimes
Some scars-of-sadness
On my skin
Mess up the tracks
All the way to the brain
Lonely list
My baby blue
Lonely list
Your face is blurred
I am an act-sad
And I play
Sad roles
Irrational roles
I am not a soloist
I need you
[I am] Nor am I a polemist
[I am] In agreement with you
Lonely list
My baby blue
Lonely list
Your face is blurred
On my lonely list
You you are the only one registered
But if it happened
[That] Some drops of rain [fell]
On my "little black book"
Of fake leather
Your name would
Forever be in ruins
Lonely list
Would be dissolved
Lonely list
My baby blue
Lonely list
Would be dissolved
Lonely list
My baby blue
My lonely list
Some laps and then it's all [over]...

Quand jeg suis tristeJe fais n’importe quoi
Je suis une actriste 2
Quelques fois
Quelques cicatristes 3
Sur ma peau
Brouillent les pistes
Jusqu’au cerveau
Lonely list
Mon bébé blue
Lonely list
Ton visage est flou
Je suis une actriste
Et je joue
Des rôles de triste
Des rôles de fou
Je ne suis pas soliste
J’ai besoin de toi
Ni méme polémiste 4
D’accord avec toi
Lonely list
Mon bébé blue
Lonely list
Ton visage est flou
Sur ma lonely list
Toi tu es le seul inscrit
Mais s’il tombait
Quelques gouttes de pluie
Sur mon carnet noir
De moleskine
Ton nom serait à
Jamais en ruine
Lonely list
Serait dissout 5
Lonely list
Mon bébé blue
Lonely list
Serait dissout
Lonely list
Mon bébé blue
Ma lonely list
Quelques tours de pistes et puis c'est tout...

Day's bittersweet
Do say no matter what
Play sadness increased
Maybe not
Play sadness released
Does it show
Blues come to feast
How do they know
Love released
My baby blue
Love released
I cannot see you
Play sadness increased
Days I do
Roles too sad too sweet
Roles to have them fooled
More than me at least
Say I'm needing you
See I'd keep the peace
With all that you do
Love released
My baby blue
Love released
I cannot see you
So alone at least
What you say no-one can see
If then some day
Downcast the rain would be
Falling on this part
Of me unseen
Within its covers
Erased between
Love released
Sadness is through
Love released
My baby blue
Love released
Sadness is through
Love released
My baby blue
My love released
Maybe love has ceased to breathe in you...
