Julietta

Ju, Ju, Julietta... (rpt)

Rainy days and slippery stones,
Coffee slips down and warms my bones.
Before I know it, Julietta comes rushing in,
Sudden burst of sunshine...

(Chorus)
Ju, Ju, Julietta
Viens jouez avec moi,
Ju, Ju, Julietta
Ma tristesse et ma joie.
With the rain in her eyes.
I can barely recognise
The girl who once was mine.

Whiskies on ice are coming round again.
They freeze and kill the pain.
Thinking of all her men, Julietta in my arms,
Our dancing bodies intertwine...

(Chorus)
Ju, Ju, Julietta
Je ne peux pas oubliez,
Ju, Ju, Julietta
Who could forget her.
With the light in my eyes
I can barely recognise
The girl who once was mine.

A warm shower falls on her shoulder,
Washes away all I told her.
A small towel round her, Julietta comes rushing in,
Never seems to have much time...

(Chorus)
Ju, Ju, Julietta... (rpt)
With the pain in my eyes,
I can barely recognise
The girl who once was mine.
