Pity

Louis takes his bus,
Like every morning
He stumbles upon the same girl, with her sweet fragrance
He hopes everyday she will come to talk to him
What he feels deep inside is what we call love
But Louis, he’s timid and she, she’s stunning
He doesn’t want to go there, he’s deeply stuck in his seat
Once she smiled at him while she was going off the bus
And since that day, he has never seen her again
 
Oh he should have gone, he should have done it, believe me
We all say “what a pity, what a pity, this could have been the last time”
 
Yasmine has a beautiful voice, she knows that she is endowed
In her tempestuous life, music is her buoy
Faced with her melodies, the world revolves around her
But her father keeps repeating “you must find an actual job”
Sometimes she imagines herself beneath the spotlights
On stage receiving the compliments and flower jets
But Yasmine is rusty, stuck in her routine
She only manages to sing when she works at the factory
 
Oh she should have gone, she should have done it, believe me
We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”
Oh she should have gone, she should have done it, believe me
We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”
 
Diego is sprawled on his couch
He yells at his young brother when he passes in front of the TV
His friends went out, he didn’t follow them
As he is often alone, the Moon will come to be his only company
Diego is sad, he doesn’t want to do anything tonight
He’s dejected for not having found the woman of his dreams
But my poor Diego, you are profoundly wrong,
You would have met her tonight
 
Oh he should have gone, he should have done it, believe me
We all say “what a pity, what a pity, this could have been the last time”
 
Pauline is discreet, she forgets that she is beautiful
She has stains of the same colour of the sky all over her body
Her husband will return soon, she doesn’t even want to think about it
When he takes her arms, it’s not to make her dance
Her thoughts go back to the city hall, that decision that she has taken
On this afternoon after having packed her luggage
She had a future, a son to raise
After the last dance, she didn’t get up
 
Oh she should have gone, she should have done it, believe me
We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”
We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”
We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”
 
Oh she should have gone, she should have done it, believe me
We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”
Oh she should have gone, she should have done it, believe me
We all say: “what a pity, what a pity, this can have been the last time”
 
It is worth more living with remorses than with regrets
It is worth more living with remorses than with regrets
It is worth more living with remorses than with regrets
It is worth more living with remorses than with regrets, that’s the secret
