Elle vient quand elle vient [English translation]

She said it to me on the first day

We will not see each other every day

The daily (things) forever

That kills love

She never makes promises

She never gives her address

No collar, no leash

You take (it) or you leave (it)

She comes when she comes

I don't know where she comes from

I ask nothing of her

She comes when she comes

But I feel good

In the palms of her hands

But when she goes

All my life goes

I die as soon as she goes

She leaves nothing

Not even her perfume

She comes when she comes

She comes when she comes

I stick her photograph on the walls

Undressed life-sized

If I talk to her about the future

She puts on her shoes again

She comes when she comes

I don't know where she comes from

I ask nothing of her

She comes when she comes

But I feel good

In the palms of her hands

She comes when she comes

She comes when she comes

I don't know where she comes from

I ask nothing of her

She comes when she comes

But I feel good

In the palms of her hands

But when she goes

All my life goes

I die as soon as she goes

She comes when she comes

She comes when she comes
