Jean-Roger Caussimon - Girls like that


Original Title: "Des filles comm'ça"
Year: 1977
There are some girls like that
Who have the heart like an island

No need to be beautiful, don't dress in Sunday's clothes
Step forward into the sea, lie down on your back
Let yourself drift placid and float on your back
Shout "I am the drunken boat" of Arthur Rimbaud
I am not an happy person, life is a problem to me
Happiness is so far away, I have looked so much for it
I become an orphan if noone loves me
And a girl like that will come to fish you out

There are some girls like that
Who have the heart like an island
With some soft beaches
A semblance of rocks
To make everyone believe
That it's difficult
That it's difficult
To approach them

At her place a woodfire as soon as September ends
Sunshine in Spring and shadow in Summer
You'll be like a King in your robe
Which many others undoubtly wore before you
You'll be pampered without having anything to say
Nothing but love words where her first name sings
You'll have to prove her how much you desire her
And a girl like that will never say no.

There are some girls like that
Who have the heart like an island
With some soft beaches
A semblance of rocks
To make everyone believe
That it's difficult
That it's difficult
To approach them

That daily love and of every second
Will give you the idea that there must exist
Some girls to love at every corner of the world
Then you'll go away enamoured of freedom
Then another guy will come to live with her
But for how long? Maybe for ever
With every lover the hope is new
And a girl like that dreams of a single love.

There are some girls like that
Who have the heart like an island
With some soft beaches
A semblance of rocks
To make everyone believe
That it's difficult
That it's difficult
To approach them
