To the End (La Comedie) Lyrics
Tous ces bals masqués (Si peu d'amour)
Du mauvais cinéma (Et tant de haine)
We've been drinking far too much (Si peu d'amour)
And neither of us mean what we say (Et tant de haine)
La comédie du grand amour
Vous ne me ferez paz l'injure de la jouer jusqu'au bout
De me la jouer jusqu'au bout
Pourquoi tant de haine (Si peu d'amour)
C'est un accident de voir (Et tant de haine)
Infatuated only with ourselves (Si peu d'amour)
And neither of us can think straight anymore (Et tant de haine)
You and I collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes it looks like we've made it to the end
La comédie du grand amour
Je ne vous ferai pas l'honneur de la jouer jusqu'au bout
De vous la jouer jusqu'au bout
Si peu d'amour
Du mauvais cinéma (Et tant de haine)
We've been drinking far too much (Si peu d'amour)
And neither of us mean what we say (Et tant de haine)
Vous ne me ferez paz l'injure de la jouer jusqu'au bout
De me la jouer jusqu'au bout
C'est un accident de voir (Et tant de haine)
Infatuated only with ourselves (Si peu d'amour)
And neither of us can think straight anymore (Et tant de haine)
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes it looks like we've made it to the end
Je ne vous ferai pas l'honneur de la jouer jusqu'au bout
De vous la jouer jusqu'au bout
Si peu d'amour

N'aucun (de) commentaires sur ce chanson? Quelle scandale!
Back to English, this song is beautiful! Much better than the plain old English vers IMO. Does Damon sing in French at the end with the girl (Francoise, I think she was called)? If he does, then even more reason to admire him. Mind you, I never needed that much of an excuse in the first place.
Anyway, it's about a failing lationship\ that - somehow - pulls through.
Tous ces bals masqués (si peu d'amour) Du mauvais cinéma (et tant de haine) = All these masked balls (So little love) Of bad cinema (And... so much(?) .... hate).
These aren't actual masked balls, but rather, a metaphor for both people in the relationship hiding their true feelings under a flimsy disguise. I guess the line 'Du mauvais cinéma' is in there because the writer (Damon or otherwise) thinks that the situation is like that in a bad movie.
I'll do a full translation later. I have coursework due in TOMORROW and it is imperative I get on with it!
