Vincent Delerm "Cristina" lyrics

Translation to:en

Cristina

Et tu regardais CristinaSes jeans ses cheveux sa manièreD’être un peu plus une fille que toiDans les couloirs de RER

Tu empruntais à CristinaDu rouge à lèvres et des affairesUn peu son rire un peu sa voixEt comme elle parlait à sa mère

Toutes les histoires que CristinaTe racontait au pied des toursTu faisais comme si c’était toiQui les avais vécues un jour

Tu n’as jamais compris pourquoiTu voulais échanger ta vieContre la vie de CristinaEt aujourd’hui tu as compris

Tu raccompagnais CristinaTu la regardais dans la nuitEt au pied du bâtiment troisElle disparaissait de ta vie

Christina

And you looked at ChristinaHer jeans her hair and her wayOf being a bit more of a girl than youIn the corridors of the railway stations

You borrowed from ChristineLipstick and some other bits and piecesA bit of her laughter, a bit of her voiceAnd how she spoke to her mother

All the stories that ChristinaTold you at the foot of the towersYou acted as though it was youWho had once lived them

You never understood whyYou wanted to swap your lifeFor Christina’s lifeAnd today you have understood

You walked Christina homeYou watched her in the nightAnd at the foot of building No. 3She disappeared from your life
