Walls that are cracking
A narrow staircase
An old attic
And here I am at home
A bed that is buckling
A crooked table
A kerosene lamp
And here I am at home
But in the evening when the cockroach enters me
And my heart is too unhappy
I pull aside the curtains from my window
And I widen my eyes
From the 'other side of the street
There's a girl
There's a beautiful girl
Who has everything she needs
And even the superfluous
Across the street
She has money, a house, cars
Silk sheets, jewelry, furs
Across the street
There's a girl
There's a beautiful girl
If I had a quarter I wouldn't ask for more
On the other side of the street
Often the soul is sad
When I return home me
I'm going to bend my back
It's raining or it's cold
Have to go up seven floors
Follow a long corridor
I I have no more courage
I go to bed and sleep
And the next day everything has to start again
I go to work in the freezing morning
So I say to myself there are some who are too lucky
And others not enough
On the other side of the street
There's a girl
There is a beautiful girl
For whom all our miseries
Will always be unknown
On the other side of the street
When it's cold, she dances all night long
When it's hot, she goes on a cruise
On the other side of the street
There's a girl
There's a beautiful girl
To live your life for just one day, I wouldn't ask for more
On the other side side of the street
I barely knew him
We had seen each other three times
But at the end of the week
He came to my house
In my room on the seventh floor
At the end of the corridor
He whispered, I love you"
I it, I adore you
He filled me with kisses, caresses
I no longer desire anything in his arms
I see her eyes full of tenderness
So I whisper to myself
On the other side of the street
There's a girl
There has a poor girl
Who knows nothing about love
Nor its lost joys
On the other side of the street
She can keep her gentleman whom she hates
Her beautiful jewelry, all her luxury and the rest
On the other side of the street
There's a girl
There's a poor girl
Who often looks sad and lost
At the other side © from the street
