“Goodbye Soleil” was released as a single in anticipation of the album Ti amo. Phoenix, a French band that typically sings in English, wrote a bilingual song with verses in English and a chorus in French (apart from the word “goodbye”).
[Verse 1]
To get alone with you
To drag you home would do
Or park at the motel
Outside of the Pantheon
Champagne and Châteldon
Our little ritual
It's not the pity that you got
Leave the party for the lot
Or find out your motive
I could do this all day long
But just a minute it's all I want
[Chorus]
De quelle façon, pour quelle raison
Dis-moi pourquoi comment je t'aime
Rien qu'une seconde, si seuls au monde
Tu te réveilles, goodbye soleil
[Verse 2]
Turquoise and navy blue
Polynesian or bayou
Why follow your trail?
Down from the podium
Valentine's and Te Deum
A different bible
It's not the pity that you got
Don't leave me, I can change a lot
Or go back to cursive
Why cherish the things you don't?
Just a second it's all I want
[Chorus]
De quelle façon, pour quelle raison
Dis-moi pourquoi comment je t'aime
Rien qu'une seconde, si seuls au monde
J'ai pas sommeil , goodbye soleil
[Bridge]
Let's pretend that I don't care
Let's pretend that I don't care
[Chorus]
De quelle façon, pour quelle raison
Dis-moi pourquoi comment je t'aime
Rien qu'une seconde, si seuls au monde
Tu te réveilles, goodbye soleil
[Outro]
De quelle façon, pour quelle raison
Dis-moi pourquoi comment je t'aime
Rien qu'une seconde, si seules au monde
J'ai pas sommeil, goodbye soleil
