The tune ,including the rif in the background, is identical but it's true there's a lot of syllables in the French version

Je me lève et je te bouscule
Tu ne te réveilles pas comme d'habitude
Sur toi je remonte le drap
J'ai peur que tu aies froid comme d'habitude
Ma main caresse tes cheveux
Presque malgré moi comme d'habitude
Mais toi tu me tournes le dos
Comme d'habitude

D  d da,d d d d da ( je me leve,et je te bouscule)(and now the time has come )
D d d d d da, ( tu ne te reveilles pas)( and so  I face )
da da da da da ( comme d'habitu-u-de)( the final curtain)

Actually I'll link to a site which explains it better than me.

Thanks Gallery for the tip which works just fine !

I'm the opposite to you Tempora in that as I settle into middle-age I like croony ,corny romantic ballads ( which used to bore me) more and more.

You say:

"Now, so much long after, I believe that Maharaji's aim of turning people inside to feel something of value remains true.

While he himself has sold out so much to materialism, I believe that by looking genuinely inside we still find our own conscience and the deep underlying soul."

I tend to agree with you.
