Breakfast                                                  Déjeuner du matin

He poured the coffee                                Il a mis le café

Into the cup                                               Dans la tasse

He put the milk                                          Il a mis le lait

Into the cup of coffee                                Dans la tasse de café

He put the sugar                                       Il a mis le sucre

Into the coffee with milk                            Dans le café au lait

With a small spoon                                   Avec la petite cuiller

He stirred                                                  Il a tourné

He drank the coffee                                  Il a bu le café au lait

And he put down the cup                          Et il a reposé la tasse

Without speaking to me                            Sans me parler

He lighted                                                  Il a allumé

A cigarette                                                 Une cigarette

He made circles                                        Il a fait des ronds

With the smoke                                         Avec la fumée

He shook off the ash                                 Il a mis les cendres

Into the ashtray                                         Dans le cendrier

Without speaking to me                            Sans me parler

Without looking at me                               Sans me regarder

He got up                                                   Il s'est levé

He put                                                        Il a mis

A hat on his head                                      Son chapeau sur sa tête

He put on                                                   Il a mis

A raincoat                                                  Son manteau de pluie

Because it was raining                              Parce qu'il pleuvait

And he left                                                 Et il est parti

In the rain                                                  Sous la pluie

Without a word                                          Sans une parole

Without looking at me                                Sans me regarder

And I buried                                               Et moi j'ai pris

My face in my hands                                 Ma tête dans ma main

And I cried                                                 Et j'ai pleuré
