Dear John letter
(Paroles & musique Éric VINCENT)
Au revoir mon amour it's a fait accompli
Your entourage is not en rapport with me
You are a connaisseur I say that en passant
And for a nouveau riche you are a bon vivantMy début was bizarre in a grand cabaret
And my repertoire very recherché
For the petits-bourgeois you know that n'est-ce pas
I was a fille de joie It was a faux pasAu revoir mon amour au revoir
I met a troubadour like in a rêverie
Juliette in a boudoir Roméo vis-a-vis
A certain je ne sais quoi some champagne and a rose
The pie was à la mode and I was amoureuseAs a routine he had a chauffeur and a garage
But la crème de la crème he was in espionage
To play it with finesse I needed some collage
In this risqué business his dress was camouflage
Au revoir mon amour au revoir, au revoir
During an experience we met a mademoiselle
Oh la la what a chance she was au naturel
With her chiffon brassiere and petite lingerie
So this ménage à trois was like a coup d'étatAmateur libertine he had a pied-à-terre
He got a limousine gigolo débonnaire
Loving this imbécile I lost my silhouette
Then it was not facile to do a pirouetteAu revoir mon amour au revoir, au revoir
It's a cliché but
Touchée by our tête-à-tête I had a renaissance
You were my raison d'être suave par excellence
Now I am en route for a next rendez-vous
A genre of étiquette is it not déjà vuAu revoir mon amour what a catastrophe
The romance is encore a cul-de-sac for me
For a last souvenir I demand a détour
Au revoir my chéri bon voyage mon amour
