Madame Etienne

Malheureuse, quoi t'a fait. ouais, avec moi?
 Ca me fais du mal chaque fois je to regarde, ouais malheureuse.
Quoi t'as fait? Chère Jouliine, ca me fait du mal.
Quoi faire t'as fait mais tout ça, t'as fait si long (temps) avec moi?
Je vas m'en aller, Je vas m'en aller, à la maison
Je vas me'en aller, sans tot Jouline, ouais à la maison.

Malheureuse, quoi t'as fait à ton petit coeur.
Moi j'ai pas pu juger ton histoire rapport à tot.
Ta bonne histoire est aussi bonne que tesparoles.
Ça tu m'as dit, ma belle Jouline, ça m'a fait du mat.
Je suis pas sûr d'être capable de m'en alter.
Mon coeur fait mat juste assez, chère.pour moi pleurer.

Madame Etienne

Unhappy girl. What have you done to me?
You hurt me every time I look at you, unhappy girl.
What you said, dear Jouline, you hu rt me.
Why have you always done what you'vedone to me.
I am going away, l going home.
I'm going home without you, Jouline.

Unhappy girl. just look at what you've done to your little heart.
I couldn't judge your story because of you.
Your story is only as good as your word.
What you told me, Jouline,  hurt.
Dear Jouline, I'm not sure I'll be able to go away.
My heart aches just enough to make me cry.
