Montreal Lyrics
Laisse tomber les filles
Laisse tomber les filles
Un jour c’est toi qu’on laissera
Laisse tomber les filles
Laisse tomber les filles
Un jour c’est toi qu’on laissera
Oui j'ai pleuré mais ce jour-lÃ
Non, je ne pleurerai pas
Non, je ne pleurerai pas
Oui j'ai pleuré mais ce jour-lÃ
Je ne pleurerai pas
Je ne pleurerai pas
I guess you had no idea that you could have persuaded me
Girl, you could have had me doing anything you pleased
Girl, you should have took your time and thought of what to say to me
Cause I’m not as hard as I make it seem to be
And it could have went so many ways, so many ways it can go
Cause ain’t nobody feels the way that I feel when I’m alone
So if I said that I won’t call then lying comes natural to me
You probably could have had it all you could have been that lonely star
If we just went on
If we just went on (oh yeah)
If we just went on
If we just went on
Happiness exists when you don’t know a thing
So I hope you don’t think this song is about you
And only I can know how close you came
But baby I’m a pro at letting go
I love it when they come and go
But it could have went so many ways, so many ways it can go
Cause ain’t nobody feels the way that I feel when I’m alone
So If I said that I won’t call thenl lying comes natural to me
You probably could have had it all you could have been that lonely star
If we just went on
If we just went on (yeah)
If we just went on
If we just went on
If we just went on (oooh baby)
If we just went on
If we just went on (oh yeah)
If we just went on (oh yeah)
Yeah!

The lyrics in the background of the song are from France Gall's (or rather Serge Gainsbourgh's) "Laisse Tomber les Filles", a song about a boy breaking a girl's heart and she warns him to "leave the girls alone", unless he wants to suffer her fate.
According to my tentative knowledge of French, the parts at the beginning and end seem to say:
"Never mind those girls Never mind those girls One day it will be you that will be left (x2)
Yes, I cried, but this day No, I will not cry anymore No, I will not cry anymore (x2)"
In case anyone wanted to know, the lyrics from "Laisse Tomber les Filles" that Abel used are:
Laisse tomber les filles Laisse tomber les filles Un jour c’est toi qu’on laissera Laisse tomber les filles Laisse tomber les filles Un jour c’est toi qu’on laissera
Oui j'ai pleuré mais ce jour-là Non, je ne pleurerai pas Non, je ne pleurerai pas Oui j'ai pleuré mais ce jour-là Je ne pleurerai pas Je ne pleurerai pas
For me this is a straight up perhaps slightly bitter / regretful macho take on a breakup, he blames her basically saying if you had played things differently then all would be OK, ignorance is bliss and if they just could of went on...he tells us he is good at cutting women off and moving on however the tone to me sounds definitely this isn't the case and he is hurting or atleast very disappointed, great track!
