You said tomato, I said tomate
Not what you call a very good start
But soon it was hard to say good-bye
You where silent, I was mute
Not really noisy but kind of cute
We both knew the language of the eyes
Then you learned to say my name
All of a sudden it wasn´t the same
Your words sounded funny to my ears

{Refrain:}
Un je-ne-sais-quoi has gone away
Now I understand all the words you say
Is this the end?
Are you just a face or are you still my friend?
Neither friend nor enemy, des faux amis
Are we now like strangers, are you sill my friend?
Ni ami ni ennemi

You said "I like you", I said "Je t´aime"
Words in my ears where all the same
Your eyes I drank, your lips I read
You were lonely, I was too
Not really tragic and nothing new
We soon found the answer was in bed
Then you learned the talking game
One by one the words all came
All your native charm has flown away

{au Refrain}

You said wagon, I said calèche
Pour se comprendre, c´était la dèche
"Objet trouvé" devenait "lost and found"
You said walkie-talkie, I said talkie-walkie
Plus de picnic dans les parkings
Ni de barbecue dans les sit-in
You said "oh, dear!", I said "oh la la!"
Et notre amour devint nature morte
A still life, but life is too short

{au Refrain}

Et c´est la fin, et c´est la fin
This is the end, this is the end
