Serge Gainsbourg -  La Ballade de Melody Nelson - Melody Nelson's Ballad

That's the story
Of Melody Nelson
That except me nobody
Never took in their arms
It surprises you
But it's like that
She had love
Poor Melody Nelson
Yeah, she had tones of it
But her days were counted
Fourteen falls
And fifteen summers
A small animal
This Melody Nelson
A adorable boyish girl
And so delicious child
That I only knew
An instant.
Oh! My Melody
My Melody Nelson
Nice little dumbass
You were the condition
Sine qua non (I think that's a Latin expression)
Of my reason
