Ballade de Melody Nelson Lyrics

Ca c'est l'histoire
De Melody Nelson
Qu'à part moi-même personne
N'a jamais pris dans ses bras
Ca vous étonne
Mais c'est comme ça

Elle avait de l'amour
Pauvre Melody Nelson
Ouais, elle en avait des tonnes
Mais ses jours étaient comptés
Quatorze automnes
Et quinze étés

Un petit animal
Que cette Melody Nelson
Une adorable garçonne
Et si délicieuse enfant
Que je n'ai con-
Nue qu'un instant.

Oh! Ma Melody
Ma Melody Nelson
Aimable petite conne
Tu étais la condition
Sine qua non
De ma raison

This is the story Of Melody Nelson Who apart from myself no one Ever took in their arms That surprises you But that's how it is

She had love Poor Melody Nelson Yeah, she had tons of it But her days were numbered Fourteen autumns and fifteen summers

A little animal That Melody Nelson An adorable little girl And such a delicious child Who I only knew For an instant

Oh! My Melody My Melody Nelson Lovable little idiot You were the condition Sine qua non Of my reason.
