This is best heard on headphones to get the English and French versions separately.

French and English versions:


Déjeuner Du Matin

Il a mis le café
Dans la tasse
Il a mis le lait
Dans la tasse de café
Il a mis le sucre
Dans le café au lait
Avec la petite cuillère
Il a tourné
Il a bu le café au lait
Et il a reposé la tasse
Sans me parler
Il a allumé
Une cigarette
Il a fait des ronds
Avec la fumée
Il a mis les cendres
Dans le cendrier
Sans me parler
Sans me regarder
Il s'est levé
Il a mis
Son chapeau sur la tête
Il a mis
Son manteau de pluie
Parce qu'il pleuvait
Et il est parti
Sous la pluie
Sans une parole
Sans me regarder
Et moi, j'ai pris
Ma tête dans ma main
Et j'ai pleuré

Breakfast

He put the coffee 
in the cup
He put the milk in
the cup of coffee
He put the sugar
in the café au lait
With a coffee spoon 
he stirred 
he drank 
the café au lait 
and set down the cup
without a word to me
without a word to me
he lit a cigarette
he made smoke rings
with the smoke
he put the ashes
in the ash tray
without a word to me
without a look at me
he got up
he put his hat 
upon his head
he put his raincoat 
on because 
it was raining
and he left in the rain
with out a word
without a look at me
and I ....
I took my head 
in my hand 
and I cried.
