Jamais Seule Avec Angus

Sur l'Ile Saint-Louis
Sous la gris pluie
Seule,
Mais pas 100%

J'ai mon chien
Angus
Avec moi__
Sur le Rue des Deux-Ponts
Sans toi,
Notre menage a trois
Deux__
Il y a une semaine
Tu a me dire
« Adieu »
Non à bientôt
Simplement adieu __
Aujourd'hui, avec Angus
Sous la gris pluie
La Seine gris
Paris gris
Et Angus noir
Comme mon couer__
Il y a une semaine
Angus et moi te suivre
Sans espoir
A le Pont Louis-Phillipe
Toi a volte a face
Cinq mots tes tout derniers mots :
"Tu peux garder le chien."__
Mantenant
Sur le Pont Louis-Phillipe
Paris et le Seine si gris
Nous sommes deux
Angus et moi
"Angus, viens, on va prendre un verre.
"A le Louis 9."
Comme moi, Angue n'est pas seule__

In English although somehow I wrote the French version first thanks to my French lovers or 'les dictionaires couchant'. Thanks to those and alos the subtitles in the French cinemas. If it weren't for them I would have never leasrned 'quelgues-choses' meant something.

NEVER ALONE en Snglais

Beneath the gray rain
Alone,
But not entirely—
I have my dog,
Angus,
With me__
On the Rue des Deux-Ponts
Without you,
Our 'ménage à trois'
Now just a menage a two___
A week ago,
You said to me,
"Goodbye."
Not "See you soon,"
Simply, "Goodbye"—
Today, with Angus,
Beneath the gray rain—
The Seine gray,
Paris so gray,
And Angus is black—
Like my heart—
A week ago,
Angus and I followed you—
Hopelessly—
To the Pont Louis-Philippe.
You turned to face us—
Five words—your very last words:
"You can keep the dog."—
Now,
On the Pont Louis-Philippe,
With Paris and the Seine so gray,
There are just two of us—
Angus and me.
"Angus, come on, let's go get a drink."
"At the Louis IX."
Like me, Angus isn't alone—

ps this poem was recorded for a scene in Jack Haven's WAITING FOR BROOKIE in which I have a role. Mina Walker engineered the track for background music for a early scene with Alex McVickers in Paris. Only my voice as James Steele, French Pop Star

I'll add the song at a later date

Angus et moi - Rue de Basfroi chez Alan Vaughan - Paris 1984
