L'Amant de secours - Georges Moustaki

C’est un amant de secours

Pour amoureuse en mal d’amour

C’est un amant de papier

Vite envolé vite oublié

C’est un amant de passage

Qui ne fait pas beaucoup d’usage

C’est un amant de fortune

Qui ne promet jamais la lune

He’s mad and bad

And dangerous to know

He’s mad and bad

And dangerous to know

C’est un amant de velours

Pour corps frileux pour cœur trop lourd

C’est un amant de papier

Vite emballé vite froissé

C’est un amant de passage

Qui disparaît comme un nuage

C’est un amant de fortune

Offert à toutes et chacune

He’s mad and bad

And dangerous to know

He’s mad and bad

And dangerous to know

C’est un amant de secours

Pour amoureuse en mal d’amour

C’est un amant de papier

Vite lassé vite classé

C’est un amant de passage

Parfois voleur toujours volage

C’est un amant de fortune

Sans illusion et sans rancune

He’s mad and bad

And dangerous to know

He’s mad and bad

And dangerous to know

He's a backup lover

For lovesick lovers

He's a paper lover

Quickly gone quickly forgotten

He's a passing lover

Which does not make much use

He's a makeshift lover

Who never promises the moon

He's mad and bad

And dangerous to know

He's mad and bad

And dangerous to know

He's a velvet lover

For chilly body for too heavy heart

He's a paper lover

Quickly packed, quickly crumpled

He's a passing lover

Which disappears like a cloud

He's a makeshift lover

Available to everyone

He's mad and bad

And dangerous to know

He's mad and bad

And dangerous to know

He's a backup lover

For lovesick lovers

He's a paper lover

Quickly tired quickly classified

He's a passing lover

Sometimes thief always fickle

He's a makeshift lover

Without illusion and without rancor

He's mad and bad

And dangerous to know

He's mad and bad

And dangerous to know
