Dans ma veste de soie rose
Je déambule morose
Le crépuscule est grandiose

Heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?

Dandy un peu maudit, un peu vieilli
Dans ce luxe qui s´effondre
Te souviens-tu quand je chantais
Dans les caves de Londres?
Un peu noyé dans la fumée
Ce rock sophistiqué
Toutes les nuits tu restais là

Heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?

Bandit un peu maudit, un peu vieilli
Les musiciens sont ridés
Et ce clavier comme c'est joli
J´essaie de me rappeler
Encore une fois
Les accords de ce rock
Qui détonnait comme les Anglais

Heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?

In the night I hear them talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
