Ballad of Melody Nelson

This is the story
of Melody Nelson
Whom 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
Whom 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

Ballade de Melody Nelson

Ça c'est l'histoire
De Melody Nelson
Qu'à part moi-même personne
N'a jamais pris dans ses bras
Ça 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 connue qu'un instant.

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