She thanks him for accompanying her to the station
Are you speaking seriously or are you mocking me?
But no, he's not mocking her, just look
All these newspapers, these cigars, all of this
Ah, I lack originality, that's true
Do you know that we are parting for the first time?
Yes, but after all it's not very long and he's only leaving for fifteen days
Wait a little bit, should I understand that
You are going to spend these fifteen horrible days without counting the hours?

Since you're going on a journey
Since we're parting tonight
My heart is learning
I want to smile with courage
You've packed your bags
Walk forward, side of the corridor
And for the usual grand signals
I've prepared my large handkerchief
In a moment the train will start
I will be alone on the platform
And you will see me in the station
Saying goodbye there with your bouquet
Promise me to be good
To think of me every day
And to return to our cage
To better wait for my return

Well, here you go, you have a very quiet place
Without neighbors, without vis-à-vis, no one to disturb you
He hopes it's non-smoking
Really, you're incorrigible
And I thought a little isolation would help you relax
And what else? Ah lala

Since you're going on a journey
You promised me, my darling
To write me fourteen pages
Every morning or more
So that I can see your face
Lower the window, I beg you
It's awful, I'm losing all courage
And I hate Paris
The conductor shouts, "all aboard"
The bastard, he knows very well
That I must stay, but I swear
If he shouts it one more time, I'm coming
I have my love as my only luggage
And we don't care about the rest
Since you're going on a journey
My darling, I'm going with you
