Loading...

[dufayel, spoken]
i’d shake your hand but mine would break. that’s why i wear these gloves. i suffer from a rare bone disease. i’m julien dufayel

[amélie, spoken]
monsieur dufayel, i’m amélie—

[dufayel, spoken]
amélie. amélie poulain

(sung)
why is it that someone so young and so full of life
spends every night alone at her window?

(spoken)
unless her friends are all dwarves and i cannot see them below the windowsill?

[amélie, spoken]
are you an artist?

[dufayel]
every day i come to a canvas with palette and brush
and i ask myself the same question

[amélie, spoken]
may i?
[dufayel, amélie]
paintings
these paintings
and each of them unfinished and the same

[dufayel]
every year i get a bit closer
as i make my way to the center
but in the end it always comes down to
her…

(spoken)
renoir’s the luncheon of the boating party. i’ve been painting it for twenty years. the hardest part is the looks. sometimes i think they deliberately change expression behind my back

(sung)
see her there
safely hid
in the budding middle class
i can capture each face
every tender embrace
except for the girl with the glass

so much life
the game of love
that anyone can play
see they laugh and they try
to catch each other’s eye
but the girl with the glass looks away
[amélie]
the girl with the glass

[dufayel]
i wonder, what does she see?

[amélie]
the girl with the glass

[dufayel]
as if she’s looking out at me

[amélie]
the girl with the glass

[dufayel]
just a young girl
who doesn’t belong
to anywhere
or anyone

[amélie, spoken]
i don’t know, she looks happy to me

[dufayel]
time ticks by
you look away
and twenty years can pass
with a brush in your hand
trying to understand
what is wrong with the girl in the glass
[amélie, spoken]
maybe she’s just different

[dufayel, spoken]
in what way?

[amélie, spoken]
i don’t know. maybe when she was little she didn’t get to play with other children

[dufayel, spoken]
isn’t it about time she started?

[amélie]
maybe this whole soirée
is a party she’s thrown
maybe she’s reunited
that dog with its owner
and maybe she whispered
that he’s into him
while she sits there and watches it all
from the rim of her glass

[dufayel]
i wonder, what does she see?

[amélie]
the girl with the glass

[dufayel]
as if she’s looking out at me

[amélie]
the girl with the glass

[amélie, dufayel]
just a young girl
who doesn’t belong
to anywhere
anywhere

[amélie]
or anyone

[dufayel, spoken]
